We are digital builders born in the cloud and currently, we are looking for an Azure Cloud Architect.

Nordcloud Professional Services encompass a wide variety of roles aiming at helping our customers succeed in their cloud journey. It includes areas such as Advisory, architecting, and engineering, as well as application development. They cover all public cloud technologies and domains and public cloud providers. We are passionate about the possibilities that cloud services bring and we use them to deliver quality solutions above and beyond just “getting the job done”.

As an Azure Cloud Architect, you’ll find yourself participating in customer projects, from new infrastructure builds and migrations, and big data.

Day-to-day hands-on work can be from implementing CM infrastructure to taking a step back and giving workshops and design recommendations to a technical team. Furthermore, you will become a trusted advisor for high-profile enterprises and jointly manage the customer relationship and roadmap with the Nordcloud Sales team. All in all, you’ll have the position to follow customer projects from start to release.

• You like automating tasks and hate doing manual changes
• Experience with scripting
• Comfortable in one programming language (like C#, Python, bash)
• Comfortable with the shell and Azure-CLI tool.
• You use scripting to automate and create glue code between services
• Communicating, designing, and guiding the implementations of our customer cloud solutions
• We favor clear-minded, curiosity, and attention to detail over extensive but messy knowledge

Your skills and attributes of success:

• Experience in backend programming with languages (C#, Java, Go, or similar)
• Container technologies (Kubernetes, ECS, GKE)

• Building CI/CD pipelines
• Configuration management systems (e.g. Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or similar)
• All in all, you should have a solid engineering/technical background/hands-on experience with conceptualizing, strategizing, and architecting cloud solutions. As you work directly with customers, social skills and a customer service attitude are a must
• Fluent communication skills in English
• Communication skills in Swedish is considered a big plus

As we have varying opportunities to work internationally, some readiness to travel in Sweden and other locations in Europe is required.

What do we offer in return?
