Cloud Architect

A leading law firm is looking for a senior Infrastructure Cloud Architect to help lead a major Azure-first hybrid infrastructure transformation.

This is a hands‑on infrastructure architecture role, focused on Azure, networking, security, compute, storage, virtualization, resiliency, and hybrid infrastructure — not application architecture or Dev Ops. You’ll provide architectural direction while remaining close enough to the technology to design, build, implement, troubleshoot, and support solutions.

• Design and implement Azure and hybrid‑cloud infrastructure solutions
• Develop infrastructure standards, architecture patterns, roadmaps, and technical designs
• Work across Azure networking, VNets, routing, DNS, Express Route, private endpoints, firewalls, load balancing, and segmentation
• Architect compute, storage, virtualization, security, identity, and resiliency solutions
• Support the law firm’s transition from legacy data centers toward Azure IaaS and new colocation environments
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and serve as a senior technical escalation point
• Develop architecture diagrams and Infrastructure as Code
• Partner with engineering, security, and infrastructure teams on large‑scale initiatives

• 10+ years of infrastructure engineering, architecture, or enterprise technology experience
• Solid networking and security fundamentals
• Experience with compute, storage, virtualization, identity, RBAC, and governance
• Infrastructure as Code experience
• Strong troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis skills
• Ability to communicate architectural decisions to technical and business leadership
• Someone who can still personally design, build, configure, implement, and troubleshoot infrastructure

This is not a role for an architect who has moved entirely into strategy or oversight. During the first year, the role will be approximately 60% architecture/strategy and 40% hands‑on implementation, troubleshooting, and operational support.

We’re particularly interested in senior infrastructure engineers ready to move into architecture and infrastructure/cloud architects who have remained hands‑on.

Target backgrounds include Senior/Lead/Principal Infrastructure Engineer, Azure Infrastructure Engineer, Infrastructure Architect, Azure Infrastructure Architect, and Hybrid Cloud Architect.
