What you’ll be doing The Azure Solutions Architect supports the Applications Domain Lead to assess, migrate and modernise business applications onto Microsoft Azure. You will work across several concurrent client engagements within Atturra’s Azure migrations program, including Australian Federal Government agencies.
This is a hands-on role in the applications domain. You will run discovery and assessment activities, contribute to migration designs and documentation, and help delivery teams move applications through rehost, replatform, refactor and rebuild treatments, with guidance and mentoring from the Domain Lead.
It suits someone with a solid application development or technical analysis background who wants to grow into cloud solution architecture. Some engagements involve Protected-level systems and require an active AGSVA security clearance.
Based in Canberra, it’s also a non-negotiable requirement to have an active AGSVA NV1 Security Clerance for the successful candidate.
Responsibilities:
Application discovery & assessment
- Conduct application discovery with business owners, product teams and IT, capturing architecture, dependencies, integrations, data flows and hosting.
- Assess applications for cloud readiness and recommend a migration treatment using Microsoft’s eight Cloud Adoption Framework strategies (retire, retain, rehost, replatform, refactor, rearchitect, rebuild or replace) for review by the Domain Lead.
- Interpret Azure Migrate and other discovery outputs, including dependency mapping, to inform wave planning.
- Maintain the application inventory, assessment records and treatment decisions for each client.
Design & documentation
- Contribute to solution designs, migration plans and target-state architecture for individual applications.
- Produce and maintain technical documentation, including design documents, runbooks and cutover plans.
- Help develop and follow Standard Operating Procedures and reusable patterns across engagements, so lessons from one client benefit the others.
Migration & modernisation delivery
- Work with engineering squads to migrate applications into the Azure landing zone, including App Services, Azure SQL, Storage, Functions and integration services.
- Support discovery and development for refactor, rebuild and rearchitect treatments.
- Prepare and support testing activities, including functional, performance and user acceptance testing.
- Support cutover, hypercare and handover to operations teams.
Security, governance & compliance
- Apply ASD ISM, Essential Eight and PSPF requirements to application designs and migration activities.
- Contribute evidence and documentation to security assessments and accreditation processes, including IRAP.
- Identify and raise application-related risks, issues and dependencies with the Domain Lead.
Stakeholder engagement
- Work directly with client application owners, developers and vendors to gather information and coordinate activities.
- Collaborate with the Cloud Platform & Infrastructure and Networking & Security domains, Project Services and Migration Factory teams.
- Communicate technical findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Balance priorities across multiple concurrent client engagements, keeping the Domain Lead informed of progress and blockers.
Working Conditions:
- On-site at client premises, with some flexibility depending on engagement
- Open to Canberra / Sydney / Melbourne
- Permanent, full-time
- Must hold an active AGSVA security clearance (NV1 minimum)
- Reports to the Applications Domain Lead, Azure Migrations
