Azure Architect

Azure Architect

Up to £90,000

Remote UK

Company & role

This is a leading Azure Expert MSP and pureplay Microsoft partner in the UK. No side hustles, no legacy distractions, just serious Azure work done properly. The role sits between presales and professional services, shaping solutions, designing architectures, and leading delivery when projects land. You are not stuck behind PowerPoint and you are not buried in endless build tickets either. This is proper end to end Azure architecture.

Why this role stands out

You get real influence. You help define the solution, you guide customers, and you stay close enough to delivery to make sure it is done right. The environment is mature, the customers know why they are there, and the Azure work is broad and interesting rather than repetitive lift and shifts.

Key responsibilities

Own Azure solution architecture across presales and delivery

Translate customer requirements into scalable, secure Azure designs

Lead and assure delivery of complex Azure projects

Design and review Landing Zones aligned to CAF and WAF

Advise on best use of IaaS and PaaS services including AVD and AKS

Support IaC approaches using Terraform and Bicep

Act as a technical authority for customers and internal teams

Ideal experience

Strong background as an Azure Architect or senior consultant stepping up

Broad Azure experience across IaaS, PaaS, networking, identity and security

Hands on experience with CAF, WAF and Landing Zone builds

Comfortable in presales conversations without being a full time salesperson

Experience with Terraform or Bicep and modern Azure delivery practices

Background working for a Microsoft partner or MSP is a big plus
