We are looking for a Cloud Architect to join our Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE). In this role, you will take ownership of the Azure environment, working within a team led by Danish management.

We are not interested in how many years you served in a corporate chair; we care about your capability. We need someone who can walk into a complex or chaotic environment, make sense of it, and set the standard for everyone else. If you are a strategic thinker who can also get hands-on to solve hard technical problems, this long-term role is for you.

Main Responsibilities

• Own the networking strategy: You are the go-to person for the hard networking stuff. You need to design and manage complex setups involving ExpressRoutes, Private Links, Azure Firewall, DNS, and cross-region connectivity.

• Advise internal teams on their Azure operations, including data platform, BI and AI.

• Create and enforce standards and documentation for the platform.

• Design and manage the lifecycle of Azure Landing Zones.

• Define and enforce rules for identity and access using Microsoft Entra and Azure Policy.

• Set the direction for automation, DevOps, and FinOps practices within the CCoE.

Key Requirements

• Expert networking knowledge in Azure (VNETs, NSGs, Azure Firewall, etc.).

• Architectural experience with Azure Landing Zones.

• Ability to work independently and thrive in unstructured environments.

• Very deep general understanding of Azure.

• Expert knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), particularly Terraform and/or Bicep.

• Strong grasp of CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.

• Great understanding of identity governance using RBAC, PIM, and Microsoft Entra.

• Education: Master’s degree in IT, Math, Physics, Chemistry, or related fields.

• Ability to document designs and explain them to others effectively.

Nice to Have

• Experience with data-oriented Azure tech stacks.
