Job Title: Infrastructure Cloud Architect Primary Location: Chicago, IL (Hybrid – 3 days onsite / 2 days remote) Position Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire

OVERVIEW:

TalentFish is casting a line for an Infrastructure Cloud Architect. This is a full-time, direct hire role in Chicago, IL, working a hybrid schedule of three days onsite and two days remote. This senior, hands-on technical leadership role exists to guide our client's Azure-first hybrid infrastructure transformation as they exit legacy data centers and expand their Azure footprint. This is an infrastructure-focused position — not application architecture or DevOps — spanning Azure, traditional enterprise infrastructure, networking, security, compute, storage, virtualization, resiliency, and governance. You'll set architectural direction while staying hands-on enough to design, build, troubleshoot, and support the infrastructure yourself.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE ROLE. (IDEAL EXPERIENCE)

  • 10+ years of progressive experience across enterprise infrastructure, engineering, or architecture, with a strong foundation in traditional on-premises infrastructure that has evolved into Azure and hybrid cloud
  • Deep, hands-on Microsoft Azure infrastructure experience, including significant Azure/on-premises hybrid-cloud work
  • Strong Azure networking expertise: VNets, routing, DNS, ExpressRoute, private endpoints, firewalls, load balancing, and segmentation
  • Solid understanding of networking and security dependencies across a complex hybrid environment
  • Experience with compute, servers, virtualization (VMware, Azure VMware Solution), and storage architecture
  • Working knowledge of identity, RBAC, security controls, and cloud governance
  • Infrastructure as Code experience
  • Proven infrastructure resiliency, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis skills in large-scale, complex environments (scale and complexity matter more than industry)
  • Ability to build architecture diagrams, standards, and patterns and clearly explain technical decisions to leadership
  • A true hands-on track record — you can say "I designed it, I built it, I configured it, I supported it, I troubleshot it.” Candidates whose experience is primarily coordinating migrations, managing implementation partners, or reviewing others' work are unlikely to be a fit
  • Either a senior Infrastructure/Cloud Engineer ready to step into architecture, or a current Architect who has stayed close to the technology

WHAT YOU'LL DO. (SKILLS USED IN THIS POSITION)

  • Provide architectural direction and technical leadership for an Azure-first hybrid infrastructure transformation, including the exit of legacy primary data centers
  • Help transition workloads to new colocation facilities located closer to Azure regions
  • Leverage Azure VMware Solution (AVS) during the transition while gradually reducing VMware dependency
  • Move additional workloads toward Azure IaaS
  • Establish infrastructure standards, patterns, and governance for the future hybrid environment
  • Personally design, build, configure, and support infrastructure across networking, security, compute, storage, and virtualization — roughly 60% architecture/strategy and 40% hands-on implementation and operational support in Year 1
  • Serve as a senior technical escalation point, joining critical incidents to quickly assess what changed, identify dependencies, determine where to start, and drive the technical investigation
  • Develop and maintain architecture diagrams and documentation, and communicate technical decisions to leadership
  • Participate in the on-call rotation (primary or secondary roughly every 6–7 weeks) for after-hours emergencies
