Senior Cloud Architect

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Germany.

📋 Description

• You assess intricate client infrastructures, translating their needs, limitations, and operational models into cloud-based disaster recovery strategies.

• You conduct on-site evaluations of client processes alongside the associated IT resources and dependencies.

• You devise the suitable recovery architecture—whether it be active/standby, traditional disaster recovery, or a complete greenfield reconstruction—and implement it effectively.

• You validate, test, and maintain the operational status of the environment.

• You collaborate with our Business Continuity Management (BCM) team to create the recovery/runbook.

• You actively engage in presales efforts: articulating and positioning technical solutions persuasively, while representing them to clients alongside the sales team.

• You proactively identify situations where client environments need special attention, crafting practical solutions rather than idealized architectures.

• You share your expertise within the team, assisting colleagues in navigating complex client scenarios, and contributing to the ongoing enhancement of our technical delivery standards.

⛳️ Requirements

• Extensive hands-on experience with the Microsoft stack (Entra ID, Intune, M365, Azure) in both design and implementation.

• Profound understanding of hybrid infrastructures: including Active Directory, network topology, and connectivity through Azure VPN, ExpressRoute, or Entra Connect, with the ability to ascertain which workloads can be replicated in a disaster recovery setting, can transition to the cloud, or need to be reconstructed.

• Familiarity with STACKIT or Google Workspace / Google Cloud Platform is advantageous.

• Strong security knowledge within an infrastructure context: encompassing network segmentation, identity and access management, secure configuration of cloud resources, data protection in disaster recovery operations, and Zero Trust principles.

• Experience across the entire disaster recovery lifecycle: including design, technical implementation, validation, testing, and ongoing maintenance of disaster recovery environments.
