Key Responsibilities Systems Design, Architecture & Governance Review High-Level Designs (HLD) and translate them into Detailed Level Design (DLD) documents, detailing precise configurations, implementation steps, dependencies, and risks. Architecture Governance & Endorsement: Actively present drafted DLDs to the Architecture Review Board (ARB), address technical feedback from principal architects, secure endorsement, and execute the deployment of the approved patterns within the cloud. Translate complex ERP infrastructure requirements into clear, actionable build tasks and track them effectively using Jira and Service Now. Tenant Migrations & Workload Transition Support the technical execution of migrating critical ERP and supporting application workloads from source-hosted environments in external Azure tenancies over to the target EDG Azure tenancy. Identify, document, and mitigate cross-tenancy migration risks, ensuring minimal business disruption and maintain data integrity during cutovers. Hypercare & Post Go-Live Support Provide dedicated technical assistance to resolve any complex infrastructure issues that arise post go-live during the intensive Hypercare phase of the programme. Work closely with application and platform teams to stabilise the new environment, optimise performance baselines, and ensure operational readiness for business-as-usual (BAU) handover. CAF Governance & EDG Standards Alignment Deploy and manage Azure infrastructure that aligns with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and Azure Landing Zone (ALZ) architectures. Enforce EDG Cloud deployment standards across all environments utilising subscription isolation, Management Group hierarchies, and Azure Policy-as-Code.
Skills & Experience Mandatory 5+ years of experience as an Azure Cloud Engineer, ideally within large-scale retail enterprise programs or ERP migrations. Proven experience translating High-Level Designs into comprehensive Detailed Level Designs (DLD) and navigating them through an Architecture Review Board (ARB) or similar governance body. Demonstrated experience executing tenant-to-tenant Azure migrations, including the moving of workloads, resources, and identities between disparate Azure tenancies. Proven track record of delivering technical infrastructure support, troubleshooting, and stabilisation during post go-live Hypercare windows. Extensive hands-on experience implementing Azure Landing Zones aligned with the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) principles. Deep proficiency with Terraform and Azure DevOps for automated, pipeline-driven infrastructure deployment. Strong hybrid and multi-cloud networking experience, including Azure Hub-and-Spoke, Azure Firewall policy management, ExpressRoute, and native routing protocols (BGP). Working knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) networking concepts required to support multi-cloud connectivity, specifically VPCs, Cloud Routers, Network Connectivity Center (NCC) topologies, and BGP route propagation over interconnects/VPNs. Experience managing data transport, transit routing, and DNS resolution between Azure, GCP, and on-premise data centres. Proven expertise in provisioning and tuning core Azure components (but not limited to) like Azure SQL Managed Instance, SQL Server on IaaS, Azure Virtual Machines etc Strong systems administration experience in both Windows Server and Linux environments. Proficiency using tools like Jira, Confluence and Service Now for agile task tracking, delivery and documentation.
