Do you have a history of success working with organizations to help them migrate their enterprise applications to Azure? Does your resume tout architecture experience on multi-million-dollar cloud-based projects? Does the phrase “Real Architects Code” resonate with you?  We’re actively seeking an Azure Principal Architect to join our talented team of consultants. If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to meet you.

What’s in it for you?

As an Azure Principal Architect, you’ll lead the architectural design, development, and technology integration efforts for client projects. Your ability to think at both high level and in a detail-oriented fashion helps in your delivery of successful projects for our firm. For our clients, you’ll successfully architect, develop, and implement web-based interactive applications leveraging the full capabilities of Azure and the .NET framework. Along the way, you will rapidly augment your existing experiences with additional experience across industries and disciplines.

When new opportunities arise, we encourage you to leverage previous successful solutions in order to increase our overall effectiveness and organizational efficiency. As a natural team player, you’ll answer technical and procedural questions for less-experienced team members, take an active mentorship role with less-experienced team members, and teach improved techniques when necessary.

Eager to learn new technologies, earn a certification, and grow your skills? We wouldn’t have it any other way. Here we emphasize skills cultivation, achievement recognition, and employee engagement. You will be encouraged to try new technologies and step into a new role with the support of an outstanding community of developers and architects.
