Azure Cloud Architect (Transition & Knowledge Transfer)

Location: Remote

Contract Duration: 6 Months (Initial)

Role Type: Contract

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical Azure Cloud Architect for a critical 6-month knowledge transfer project. This is a unique opportunity for an architect who excels at “technical discovery”-the primary objective is to absorb, document, and validate an existing Azure environment from an incumbent provider to ensure a seamless transition of ownership to the internal team.

You will act as the technical lead for the handover, ensuring that every configuration, security policy, and operational workflow is captured and ready for long-term support.

Key Responsibilities

• Knowledge Transfer (KT) Leadership: Receive structured KT sessions from the outgoing architect, covering all aspects of the current Azure estate.
• Architecture Mapping: Deeply understand and document existing solution architectures, complex integrations, and governance models.
• Shadowing & Validation: Observe the incumbent during operational tasks and change processes to validate technical workflows against documentation.
• Gap Analysis: Proactively identify “knowledge gaps” in the transition process and request additional deep-dive sessions where necessary.
• Documentation & Runbooks: Author comprehensive “As-Is” architecture diagrams, operational SOPs, incident response guides, and security frameworks.
• Transition Support: Ensure the internal engineering and operations teams are fully equipped to maintain and improve the platform post-handover.

Required Skills & Experience

• Expert Azure Knowledge: Strong hands-on experience across core services, including Compute, Networking (VNETs, ExpressRoute), Storage, and Identity (Entra ID).
• Architectural Forensics: Proven ability to review existing cloud environments and understand complex, inherited configurations.
• Analytical Mindset: Excellent ability to learn quickly, ask the right probing questions, and “de-risk” a technical transition.
• Technical Writing: Superior documentation skills; you must be able to translate verbal KT into clear, professional guides and runbooks.
• Governance & Security: Practical knowledge of Azure Policy, RBAC, Blueprints, and monitoring tools (Log Analytics, Azure Monitor).

Preferred Qualifications

• Certifications: AZ-305 (Solutions Architect Expert) or AZ-104 (Administrator Associate) preferred.
• Transition Experience: Prior experience in cloud environment takeovers, service transitions, or onboarding complex technical estates.
• DevOps Understanding: General knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Bicep) and CI/CD pipelines is beneficial.
