Coretek is seeking an experienced Senior Cloud consultant to join our team. This client-facing delivery role designs, builds, and implements secure, scalable, and well-governed Microsoft Azure solutions. The engineer will translate business and technical requirements into production-ready Azure architectures, landing zones, infrastructure code, and deployment pipelines aligned with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Azure Well-Architected Framework.
The ideal candidate combines hands-on Azure engineering expertise with consulting discipline. This role leads technical workstreams across new Azure deployments, cloud migrations, modernization initiatives, and platform engineering engagements, partnering with client stakeholders, solution architects, security teams, application owners, and project managers from discovery through handoff.
Key Responsibilities
Client Discovery, Architecture & Design
Lead technical discovery workshops to assess client requirements, constraints, dependencies, risks, and target outcomes.
Develop high-level and detailed Azure solution designs, implementation plans, architecture diagrams, bills of materials, and technical decisions.
Design Azure landing zones and platform foundations aligned with CAF enterprise-scale principles, including management groups, subscriptions, identity, networking, governance, security, monitoring, and operational readiness.
Provide design guidance across Azure IaaS, PaaS, containers, data, identity, networking, security, resiliency, and business continuity services.
Present solution options, tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations to technical and executive client stakeholders.
Azure Build & Implementation
Build and configure Azure environments for client projects, including subscriptions, resource groups, virtual networks, private connectivity, compute, storage, AKS, App Services, databases, backup, and disaster recovery capabilities.
Implement secure hybrid connectivity using VPN Gateway, ExpressRoute, Azure Firewall, Application Gateway, Load Balancer, Private Link, DNS, NSGs, and routing controls.
Configure Microsoft Entra ID integration, managed identities, RBAC, privileged access, Conditional Access dependencies, and workload identity patterns.
Implement Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, logging, monitoring, alerting, tagging, budgets, and governance controls as part of the platform build.
Validate solutions through functional, security, performance, failover, and operational-readiness testing.
Infrastructure as Code & DevOps Pipelines
Design, develop, test, and maintain reusable Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and/or Bicep; support ARM templates where required.
Create modular, version-controlled code with environment configuration, state management, secrets handling, policy checks, documentation, and automated testing.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions for infrastructure validation, security scanning, approvals, deployment, and promotion across environments.
Automate Azure deployments and operational tasks using PowerShell, Azure CLI, REST APIs, and scripting.
Establish source-control, branching, pull-request, release, and code-review practices suitable for client delivery.
Cloud Migration & Modernization
Assess and migrate workloads from on-premises data centers and other cloud platforms to Azure.
Plan and execute discovery, dependency mapping, readiness assessment, migration-wave planning, landing-zone readiness, cutover, validation, and stabilization activities.
Use appropriate Azure migration tooling and patterns for servers, databases, storage, applications, identity, and network connectivity.
Recommend rehost, replatform, refactor, replace, retain, or retire strategies based on business value, technical fit, risk, cost, and timeline.
Design rollback, coexistence, data-protection, business-continuity, and disaster-recovery approaches for migration events.
