Join Microsoft's high-performing Cloud & AI Partner Architects team in DACH and play a pivotal role in accelerating AI innovation and business transformation across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland through our strategic partner ecosystem.

As a Senior Cloud Solution Architect - Data & AI, you will combine deep technical expertise, architectural leadership, and strategic business acumen to help our most influential partners design, build, and scale innovative AI-powered solutions. You will act as a trusted technical advisor, guiding partners through complex architectural decisions, solution development, and the adoption of Microsoft's latest cloud, data, and AI technologies.

A key part of your mission is to accelerate the evolution of our partners into Frontier Partners\-helping them move beyond traditional technology services and isolated AI experiments toward AI-first business models, intelligent agent-based solutions, differentiated intellectual property (IP), and scalable, repeatable offerings that deliver measurable customer outcomes.

You will work closely with partner executives, technical leaders, engineering teams, and Microsoft sales organizations to shape AI transformation strategies, lead architectural design sessions, accelerate production-ready solutions, and unlock new market opportunities.

Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees, we come together with a growth mindset, empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day, we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
