Cloud Architect - Application Modernization

As a Cloud Architect for App Modernization with 8-12 years of experience, your role is crucial in leading the structural transformation of enterprise applications into cloud-native entities. Your expertise will be instrumental in evolving legacy .NET environments into high-performance .NET Core ecosystems hosted on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Key Responsibilities: - Define the roadmap and lead the execution of migrating monolithic .NET applications to a containerized AKS architecture. - Provide high-level mentorship and technical governance to development teams, ensuring best practices in C# and .NET Core development. - Design and implement event-driven, Serverless solutions utilizing Azure Functions to optimize cost and performance. - Engineer and maintain sophisticated CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, incorporating automated security scanning and blue-green deployment strategies. - Standardize environment provisioning across the organization using ARM templates and Bicep to ensure consistency. - Oversee Docker image management and AKS cluster orchestration, focusing on resource limits, pod autoscaling, and network policies. - Conduct deep-dive performance bottlenecks analysis at both the application (code) and infrastructure (cloud) levels to ensure sub-second latency. - Implement robust security measures including Azure Key Vault for secret management, Managed Identities, and RBAC across all Azure services. - Architect and manage enterprise-grade API layers using Azure API Gateway, ensuring secure and throttled access to backend microservices. - Configure complex networking components including Azure Load Balancers, Application Gateways, and VNET peering to support distributed workloads. Technical Requirements: - Engineering Foundation: 8+ years of advanced experience in C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, and WebAPI/MVC. - Azure Platform Mastery: Expert knowledge of AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service), Web Apps, Storage, and Serverless components. - Containerization Expert: Extensive hands-on experience with Docker orchestration and managing container registries. - Automation Proficiency: Expert-level skills in Azure DevOps and ARM templates (or Terraform/Bicep). - Networking & Security: Solid understanding of Azure networking (VNETs, NSGs) and Load Balancing strategies. - Database Systems: Proficiency in SQL Server, Azure SQL, or NoSQL solutions like Cosmos DB. Qualifications Required: - Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or an equivalent technical field. In this role, you will play a vital part in optimizing workloads for maximum scalability and security while ensuring a seamless transition from monolith to microservices architecture. Your expertise in cloud infrastructure and software engineering will be essential in driving the evolution of enterprise applications towards cloud-native solutions.
