Cloud Architect (Chicago)

Position Intel : Looking for a strong Cloud Architect who can define platform standards and help modernize the way applications are built. The ideal candidate will ideally come from a C# background and must have strong communication skills- someone confident presenting to groups of developers, explaining architecture, and guiding teams on implementation and best practices. This role is not heads-down coding; it requires partnering with business leaders to understand goals, drive design philosophies, and maintain a security-first mindset. The architect should know how to design secure APIs and endpoints, apply modern design patterns, and ideally have prior experience architecting scalable, secure, and stable solutions. The work will be roughly 25% development and 75% operational architecture, including building proofs of concept and integrating with vendors.

Top Requirements :

• 10+ years of Azure experience
• C#- open to Java as well
• Experience designing secure APIs and endpoints
