Azure Architect

About the organisation

A typical customer project at Agile Analytics will revolve around Microsoft technologies like Synapse, Fabric or OpenAI. However, these solutions don’t exist by themselves. They operate within a broader Azure environment comprising security, networking, monitoring and management. The solutions require resiliency and recovery capabilities and need to integrate with on-premises infrastructure and other cloud providers.

For some customers, Synapse or Fabric might be their first Azure/Cloud solution and they need an Azure foundation landing zone designed and deployed. Other customers need their environments reviewed or uplifted to a higher standard. For every customer project, good designs and documentation are needed as well as approvals from security and architecture Boards.

Agile Analytics is looking for an experienced Azure Architect with this breadth of skills. Your role will be to ensure that customers’ Azure environments are ready to support our Data engineers doing what they do best.
