Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end architecture and scope for your projects, leading teams to design and deliver Azure solutions that meet agreed goals for value, security, scalability, reliability, performance, and cost
- Serve as the technical lead and subject matter expert on your engagements, guiding consultants and engineers so implementation stays aligned with the architecture and standards
- Apply sound engineering practices—clear interfaces, modular design, and testability—to produce reliable, maintainable solutions in your primary domain
- Provide architectural guidance throughout implementation, including design and pull-request reviews, shaping cloud patterns and guardrails and offering practical options to unblock teams
- Use AI tools to accelerate code, tests, documentation, and similar tasks, and share effective practices so they become repeatable gains for teams and clients
- Design advanced semantic models using star schemas, DAX, and Power Query
- Advise clients on Power BI architecture, governance, and deployment strategies
- Lead discovery and requirements sessions for your workstreams, clarifying scope, dependencies, and risks, and shaping a prioritized backlog with clear acceptance criteria tied to business outcomes
- Explain complex technical topics in simple, direct language for both technical and non-technical audiences, and consistently connect technical decisions back to client goals
- Build trust with managers and product owners, influencing priorities and roadmaps in ways that support the client’s long-term interests
- Enable teams to deliver with stable velocity and low defect rates by providing clear architecture, interfaces, and automation across build, test, and deployment, and by designing for incremental delivery with a clear Definition of Done
- Align multiple teams on shared outcomes, contracts, and integration points, ensuring dependencies are identified early, owned, and tracked through delivery
- Support effective Agile practices by ensuring the architecture and backlog structure enable incremental delivery, a clear Definition of Done, and data-informed course corrections based on telemetry and feedback
- Mentor others through pairing, design reviews, and clear feedback that strengthens design skills, technical judgment, and confidence, with a particular focus on senior engineers and technical leads
- Provide architectural oversight across teams or workstreams, modeling pragmatic decision-making and teaching others when to keep designs simple and when to introduce new patterns or technologies
- Support hiring and growth by participating in technical interviews, calibration discussions, and crossproject mentorship
- Contribute to business development by identifying opportunities across all our capabilities (beyond own specialty) and communicating them to the sales director
- Partner with sales and account leaders on pursuits by defining the cloud vision, contributing architectural viewpoints, and participating in client workshops, demos, and roadmap discussions
- Produce solution options, high-level designs, and estimates in your domains, clearly documenting assumptions, dependencies, and risks and explaining how proposed approaches drive business value and reduce risk
- Create and maintain reusable assets—such as runbooks, workshops, starter repositories, and templates—that make it easier for engineers to deliver consistent solutions
- Champion modern frameworks, patterns, tools, and AI-assisted practices that improve quality, speed, or reliability in a secure and responsible way
- Actively participate in enablement efforts that support a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing
