Essential Job Functions
The Hybrid Cloud Architect will architect solutions for a hybrid cloud environment, on our migration to the cloud. We've historically been on prem, with few thousand servers (both Windows and Linux) running various home-grown and packaged applications. We're finally gearing up to move to the cloud, and we're looking for the right person to come in and help design the most optimal hybrid cloud environment.
Given we are primarily a Microsoft shop, we will be moving to Azure. If you have any DevOps experience (ideally with Azure DevOps/Docker/Kubernetes), you'll have an opportunity to help architect DevOps solutions as well.
