BITSUMMIT is hiring an Azure Architect who owns both sides of the cloud: the infrastructure design and the DevOps practices that deliver it. This is a hands-on, client-facing role for someone who can stand at a whiteboard with stakeholders, design a secure and well-governed Azure environment, and then build the pipelines and automation that ship it reliably.
You will lead cloud engagements end to end, from landing-zone architecture and networking to CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and platform operations. We are looking for an architect who is equally comfortable reasoning about a hub-and-spoke network and writing the Bicep or Terraform that provisions it, and who can mentor delivery teams along the way.
Infrastructure & Architecture
-
Design secure, scalable Azure architectures: landing zones, hub-and-spoke networking, identity, and governance aligned to the Azure Well-Architected Framework and Cloud Adoption Framework.
-
Architect IaaS and PaaS solutions across compute, storage, networking, and data, with high availability and disaster recovery built in.
-
Define governance, security, and cost-management guardrails using Azure Policy, management groups, RBAC, and budgets.
-
Lead cloud migrations and modernization, from assessment and landing-zone build to workload migration and cutover.
DevOps & Automation
-
Build and own CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions for application and infrastructure delivery.
-
Implement infrastructure-as-code with Bicep and/or Terraform, including reusable modules, environments, and state management.
-
Design containerized and platform workloads on AKS, App Service, and Azure Functions, with automated build, release, and rollback.
-
Establish observability, secrets management, and security scanning across the pipeline (Key Vault, Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, DevSecOps practices).
Delivery & Leadership
-
Run client engagements end to end: requirements, solution design, estimates, and hands-on delivery.
-
Produce architecture diagrams, runbooks, and documentation, and lead knowledge-transfer sessions with client teams.
-
Mentor engineers and uplift cloud and DevOps maturity across delivery teams.
-
8+ years in IT with deep, hands-on Azure architecture and engineering experience.
-
Proven track record designing Azure landing zones, networking, identity, and governance for enterprise environments.
-
Strong infrastructure-as-code skills with Bicep and/or Terraform, used in real delivery, not just proofs of concept.
-
Hands-on CI/CD experience with Azure DevOps and/or GitHub Actions across both application and infrastructure pipelines.
-
Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, AKS) and at least one scripting language (PowerShell, Bash, or Python).
-
Solid grasp of cloud security, identity (Entra ID), and cost optimization.
-
Excellent communication skills, comfortable leading client conversations and explaining trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences.
-
Azure certifications strongly preferred: Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305) and/or DevOps Engineer Expert (AZ-400).
A national organization is migrating from on-premises infrastructure to Azure and wants a secure, repeatable cloud platform. As workloads move, the team is running into several hurdles:
-
There is no standardized landing zone. Each team spins up resources ad hoc, creating sprawl and inconsistent security.
-
Deployments are manual and error-prone, with no infrastructure-as-code and no reliable CI/CD.
-
Cloud spend is climbing with little governance or cost visibility.
Your task is to outline:
-
A landing-zone and governance approach (management groups, Azure Policy, networking, and identity) that standardizes how teams deploy.
-
An infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD strategy (Bicep or Terraform with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions) that makes deployments repeatable, auditable, and safe to roll back.
-
How you would build security and cost guardrails into both the platform and the pipeline.
-
A migration approach that moves workloads with minimal disruption and a clear rollback path.

-
Senior ownership of cloud engagements across infrastructure and DevOps, not a narrow lane.
-
Remote-first work across Canada with a sharp, fast-moving delivery team.
-
Exposure to varied industries and modernization programs at enterprise scale.
-
A culture that values engineering discipline, clear thinking, and continuous improvement.
-
Room to set standards and shape how we deliver Azure for every client.
