The opportunity
Join our Brisbane head office team on a full-time, permanent basis as our Azure Cloud Specialist. In this role, you'll lead Azure best practices and hands-on implementations across our cloud ecosystem. Your key responsibilities will include managing and optimizing our Azure environment, streamlining processes, and overseeing DevOps, API integrations, security, and service management. Your expertise with SQL Server, API Management (APIM), Application Gateways, Virtual Machines (VM), and Function Apps will be crucial to enhancing our infrastructure's efficiency and security.
You'll actively assess our Azure environment to identify opportunities for workflow simplification and cost optimization, providing expert recommendations on resource usage and architectural improvements. As part of this role, you’ll develop architectural designs and Azure-based solutions, directly manage app registrations, integrate with Auth0, and implement security best practices. You’ll also evaluate API integrations and DevOps pipelines, ensuring they support streamlined workflows and development processes.
This role is essential to our cloud strategy, focusing on identifying undocumented services within Azure and implementing secure, scalable, and simplified solutions. You’ll design and optimize SQL Server environments, ensuring high availability and performance through clustering and optimization techniques, and leading transitions to PaaS solutions where appropriate.
You'll ensure all systems are securely integrated, efficiently managed, and optimized for performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Working cross-functionally, you'll collaborate with legal, administrative, and IT teams to understand requirements, translate them into solutions, and effectively communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
What You’ll Bring:
* Extensive experience in Azure solution architecture, with a focus on cloud, DevOps, API integrations, SQL Server, and security.
* Development experience in SQL, PowerShell, or C# is highly desirable.
* Experience within the legal sector or similar professional services environments, particularly with cloud-based legal software systems (e.g., document management, case management) is preferred.
* Strong analytical, strategic thinking, and problem-solving skills, with a focus on cost optimization and performance.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts and cloud solutions to non-technical stakeholders.
* In-depth knowledge of Azure services, IT infrastructure, cloud computing, and cybersecurity.
* Relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert) are highly desirable.
