Responsibilities:

• Own Azure architecture and Well-Architected reviews of customer environments end-to-end — assess across cost, reliability, security, performance, and operational excellence.
  

• Translate findings into prioritized recommendations; present to and partner with customer engineering teams through implementation — validating remediation and course-correcting against real-world constraints.
  

• Own the quality of the team's Azure analysis and recommendations — validate output, add new recommendations, and close the gap between what's seen in the field and what the team's tooling produces.
  

• Feed patterns observed in reviews back into the team's internal methodology and tooling; raise the leverage of every review.
  

• Make and own Azure architecture decisions at scale — API consumption across tenants and subscriptions, identity boundaries, multi-tenant data handling.
  

• Set the technical bar for the Azure team; mentor engineers ramping on Azure; raise the team's Azure baseline.
  

• Partner with engineering leadership on Azure strategy, sequencing, and hiring.
  

• Contribute hands-on to platform engineering and tooling where depth is needed — this is a building role, not an advisory one.
