Senior Cloud Architect required for a 6-month enterprise Azure migration in Auckland. Lead DevOps engineers, resolve design gaps, and drive success.
Why You’d Like It
If you thrive on active leadership and complex problem-solving rather than just churning out static paperwork, this is the contract for you. You will step into a highly collaborative, high-impact role where you can guide a talented engineering team and see the direct results of your expertise in a massive cloud transformation.
The Story
This massive migration project is already well underway, with the initial landing zone designs pre-validated by Microsoft. The focus now shifts from theory to execution. This is a critical initiative aimed at consolidating separate, complex environments into a single, cohesive cloud ecosystem, and they need a sharp architectural mind to help steer the ship over the next six months.
Company Profile
Our client is a major player in the New Zealand tertiary education sector. They are undergoing a significant enterprise-scale modernisation journey to unify their infrastructure. Known for a collaborative and people-first environment, they heavily value relationship-building, open communication, and face-to-face rapport.
Your Role
As the Senior Cloud Architect, you will provide active technical leadership and oversight to ensure the smooth migration of complex on-premises workloads into Microsoft Azure. Rather than starting from scratch, you will focus on resolving design ambiguities and bridging operational gaps alongside your team and external partners.
Your day-to-day will involve:
You are a seasoned Azure Architect who loves being close to the action and guiding engineering teams. You have a deep conceptual and practical command of Azure Landing Zones, alongside solid expertise in Azure AD / Microsoft Entra ID for hybrid identity synchronization. You speak the language of DevOps and CI/CD pipelines natively, but you also have a comprehensive understanding of legacy data centre systems like virtualisation, networking, and storage arrays to successfully extract older workloads.
