We are seeking a Lead/Architecture Cloud Engineer to join our Enterprise Cloud Excellence team. In this

role, you will lead the modernization of our core service layer by architecting high-scale, secure, and

resilient serverless solutions. You will be responsible for building mission-critical API ecosystems and

event-driven backends that adhere to the Azure Well-Architected Framework.

Core Responsibilities

Enterprise API Development: Design and implement RESTful/GraphQL APIs and Azure API

Management (APIM) for policy-driven governance, rate limiting, and security.

Distributed Messaging: Architect decoupled, reliable communication patterns using Azure

Service Bus (Queues and Topics/Subscriptions) to handle cross-service transactions and

high-volume message processing.

Zero-Trust Security: Enforce enterprise-grade security by centralizing secret management, keys,

and certificates within Azure Key Vault. Implement passwordless authentication using Managed

Identities and RBAC.

Data Persistence: Integrate and optimize document-based workloads using MongoDB (Atlas or

Cosmos DB for MongoDB), ensuring data consistency and efficient indexing for global scale.

Resiliency Patterns: Implement Durable Functions for stateful workflows and use patterns like

Circuit Breaker and Retry with Exponential Backoff to ensure system reliability.

Governance & DevOps: Standardize infrastructure deployments and maintain robust CI/CD

pipelines via Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions.

Preferred Work Experience

8 to 12 years of professional experience in backend software engineering, with at least 5 years

dedicated to building and scaling applications on the Microsoft Azure / GCP platform.

Proven track record of transitioning monolithic legacy systems into serverless, event-driven

architectures.

Experience working in large-scale enterprise environments, navigating complex security

requirements, and collaborating with cross-functional DevOps and Security teams.

Technical Qualifications

Node.js/TypeScript Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Node.js (Async/Await, Event Loop) and

production-grade TypeScript.

Messaging Patterns: Deep understanding of Service Bus features such as dead-lettering,

duplicate detection, and message sessions.

Enterprise Security: Familiarity with Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) and securing private

endpoints for Key Vault and databases.

Observability: Proficiency in using Azure Monitor and Application Insights for distributed tracing

and performance tuning
