Original job description
Strong experience in solution architecture, application development, and enterprise architecture.
Experience leading large-scale Azure cloud migration and transformation programs.
Hands-on experience designing secure, scalable, cloud-based enterprise solutions.
Experience across application, cloud, network, security, and infrastructure domains.
The Solution Architect will lead the architecture, design, governance, and execution of a strategic migration from a traditional Hub-and-Spoke network architecture to Azure Virtual WAN (VWAN). This role requires strong expertise in application development, solution design, and enterprise architecture, with the ability to bridge application, cloud, network, security, and infrastructure domains.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience designing and developing enterprise applications and transforming them into scalable, secure, cloud-based solutions. The architect will ensure that application and infrastructure migrations are executed together, minimizing risk while improving performance, resiliency, and operational efficiency.
Key Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end solution architecture, design, and governance for migration from Hub-and-Spoke architecture to Azure VWAN.
Ensure alignment with enterprise architecture, cloud, security, and application modernization standards.
Define and implement application-centric migration strategies for complete application stacks, including:
Web applications
Middleware
APIs
Databases
Integrations
Infrastructure components
Assess current-state applications and design target-state architectures that support scalability, resiliency, security, performance, and maintainability within Azure.
Perform Application Portfolio Assessments And Dependency Analysis Across
DMZ-hosted applications
Internal systems
Databases
APIs
Shared services
Third-party integrations
Collaborate with application development teams to review application architecture, identify modernization opportunities, and validate cloud readiness.
Define and oversee transit firewall decommissioning strategies while maintaining security, compliance, and business continuity.
Lead the implementation of Web Application Firewall (WAF) architecture and compliance standards in Azure.
Design And Govern Azure VWAN Network Architecture, Including
Routing
Traffic engineering
User Defined Routes (UDRs)
Connectivity
Micro-segmentation
Hybrid-cloud integration
Oversee firewall policy redesign and migration for secure communication across DMZ, internal environments, Azure services, and application workloads.
Define and execute the roadmap to decommission legacy Hub-and-Spoke architecture and transition to Azure VWAN.
Lead Architecture Reviews Covering
Application integrations
Authentication mechanisms
API communications
Data flows
Service dependencies
Develop migration patterns, reference architectures, standards, and best practices.
