Job Summary
In this role, you design cloud and AI architectures on Azure, develop standards for scalability and security, and are responsible for the end-to-end architecture of AI solutions with a focus on operational excellence and compliance.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- You design the cloud and AI architecture that enables implementation at enercity. On Azure, you establish clear standards, robust platforms, and decision-making foundations that allow teams to work confidently and scalably.
- As a Solution Architect for Cloud & AI Platforms, you build 'paved roads' instead of individual solutions and ensure that innovation is rapid, operable, and organization-wide effective.
- As a Solution Architect for Cloud & AI Platforms, you are responsible for the end-to-end architecture of AI solutions on Azure and ensure alignment with the Azure Well-Architected Framework. This enables you to create stable, secure, and scalable platforms.
- You design architectures in a way that security, reliability, performance, cost optimization, and operational excellence are considered from the outset.
- You define and implement enterprise-wide Landing Zones and environment topologies according to the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework, thereby laying the foundation for scalable and compliant AI development.
- Furthermore, you develop and maintain reference architectures, Architectural Decision Records (ADRs), as well as Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD templates that guide teams through spikes, proofs of concept, and reference implementations.
- You ensure production readiness by establishing security and data protection controls, observability standards, high availability and disaster recovery concepts, as well as performance baselines.
- You independently conduct design reviews and technology evaluations, providing well-founded advice on build-vs.-buy decisions as well as on the selection of suitable runtimes.
- In close collaboration with Security, Data, Operations, Compliance, and Platform teams, you drive architecture decisions forward and document them transparently through ADRs.
- You communicate architecture options and trade-offs regarding risk, cost, and time-to-value appropriately tailored to the audience — both to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
