Principal Cloud Architect

Atmosera empowers businesses to redefine what's possible with modern technology and human expertise. Our exceptional experience across Applications, Data & AI, DevOps, Security, and the Microsoft Azure platform enables organizations to accelerate innovation, enhance security, and optimize operational agility.

As a Microsoft Partner with nine specializations, GitHub AI Partner of the Year, a member of the GitHub Advisory Board, and a member of the prestigious Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA), Atmosera expertly delivers cutting-edge, integrated solutions that deliver business value.

You are joining us to own the technical vision and architecture for our shared, multi-tenant technology platforms. Your day-to-day will involve designing and validating Azure-based solutions, decomposing complex initiatives into scoped work your team can execute independently, and partnering with business and account stakeholders to make sure what gets built maps to real client and operational needs — all aimed at strengthening the reliability, security, and scalability of the platforms our business runs on.
Required Skills

• 8+ years of cloud engineering and architecture experience.

• Role-Specific Mastery — Deep, intimate knowledge of Microsoft Azure — its monitoring, automation, and platform services — with strong experience designing cloud solutions and validating approaches through focused, time-boxed spikes.

• Operational Excellence — Demonstrated ability to break down complex, ambiguous work into scoped, delegable pieces and lead delivery through others; hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Bicep or Terraform) and scripting (PowerShell, Python).

• Communication — Excellent written and spoken English, with the confidence to engage and influence in business-facing and cross-functional conversations with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Collaboration — Experience partnering with cross-functional and account teams to surface technical considerations early and help shape what gets built and why.

• Problem Solving — A pattern-oriented mindset — able to generalize individual requests into reusable solutions — along with working knowledge of Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and KQL to strengthen platform observability

Preferred Qualifications

• Multi-Tenant / MSP Experience — Experience supporting multiple clients or tenants from a shared platform.

• Security & Compliance — Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks relevant to managed cloud services, including Microsoft Sentinel.

• CI/CD — Experience with CI/CD pipelines, ideally Azure DevOps.

• Certifications — Relevant Azure certifications (e.g., Azure Solutions Architect Expert).
