About the Role

Our client, a leading technology-driven organization based in Johannesburg, is seeking an experienced Azure Cloud Architect to join their infrastructure team.

This role is ideal for a hands-on, infrastructure-focused Cloud Architect with strong expertise in Microsoft Azure, Terraform, and DevOps practices. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, implementing, and managing secure, scalable, and automated cloud environments — ensuring performance, reliability, and governance across the organization’s cloud ecosystem.

• Work in a modern, forward-thinking environment focused on innovation and cloud transformation.
• Hybrid working model offering flexibility and balance.
• Exposure to cutting-edge technologies and professional growth opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement Azure cloud infrastructure solutions aligned with business, security, and compliance requirements.
• Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform for efficient provisioning and management of Azure resources.
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps Services to streamline deployments and automation.
• Manage and secure Azure networking, storage, identity, and monitoring configurations.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, security, and data engineering teams to deliver end-to-end cloud solutions.
• Implement best practices for cost optimization, scalability, and governance.
• Ensure system availability, performance, and compliance through proactive monitoring and automation.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and documentation for infrastructure solutions and standards.
