C2C-Azure Cloud Architect at Princeton NJ (Hybrid)

Hi,



Hope you're doing well.



My name is Sujaan, and I am a Technical Recruiter from Empower
Professionals Inc. We are sourcing for an Azure Cloud Architect at
Princeton NJ (Hybrid), and it's a long-term contract for at least 12+
months and can be extended further.



If you're skills match the job description, please share your updated
resume along with your location and expected rate so that I can get in
touch with you for further process.



Role: Azure Cloud Architect
Duration: 12 Months
Location: Princeton NJ (Hybrid)


Job Description:
We're looking for an Azure Cloud Architect who thrives on design and
collaboration. This role is less about day-to-day administration and
more about shaping the blueprint of our cloud landscape. You'll be
responsible for designing secure, scalable, and resilient solutions in
Microsoft Azure, creating high-quality documentation, and partnering
closely with our DevSecOps team to ensure seamless delivery and
governance.

What You'll Do

Lead the design of cloud architectures across Azure's core services,
with a focus on scalability, resilience, and compliance.
Translate complex business and security requirements into clear,
actionable cloud designs.
Develop and maintain detailed architecture diagrams, standards, and
technical documentation that guide engineers and stakeholders.
Collaborate with DevSecOps engineers to embed security, compliance,
and automation into every stage of the solution lifecycle.
Provide architectural oversight on cloud deployments, ensuring
designs are implemented correctly and consistently.
Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership and project teams,
advocating for cloud best practices and cost optimization strategies.

What We're Looking For
Deep expertise across Microsoft Azure core services: networking,
compute, storage, identity, databases, monitoring, and security.
Strong background with Azure application services: Logic Apps,
Function Apps, and App Services, with an ability to integrate them into
broader solution designs.
Proven experience working with DevSecOps or platform engineering
teams, especially around CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and security
automation.
Solid understanding of cloud governance frameworks (e.g., policies,
RBAC, cost controls).
Hands-on knowledge of Azure-native tools: ARM/Bicep, Terraform,
Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, and monitoring solutions.
Excellent written communication skills: able to produce diagrams,
decision trees, and design docs that teams can rely on.
A mindset oriented towards collaboration, mentorship, and
cross-functional influence.

Nice to Have

Familiarity with regulated industry frameworks (CMMC, FedRAMP,
HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.).
Experience with multi-region designs, disaster recovery patterns,
and hybrid connectivity.
Prior work as part of an engineering team.
Exposure to advanced serverless and integration patterns, such as
Durable Functions, Event Grid, or Service Bus







Thanks
