AGILE INSIGHTS |Lead Consultant, Platforms | Reports to: Platform | Services Lead |
Location: Remote (Australia) | Type: Full-time
About the Role
We are looking for a Lead
Consultant to anchor the technical delivery of Azure platform engagements in
our Platform Services practice. This role is the landing zone and network
subject matter expert on client projects. You will own the architecture, the design
documentation, and the infrastructure as code that stands up secure, governed
Azure foundations for enterprise clients.
This is a hands-on, deeply
technical consulting role. You will run the design workshops, author the
artefacts, write the Bicep or Terraform, and set the technical direction other
engineers build against.
What You’ll Do
Azure Landing Zone Delivery
Design and deliver Azure Landing
Zones and platform accelerators end to end. You will lead the architecture for
management groups, subscription topology, policy, identity, and governance,
aligned to the Cloud Adoption Framework and Well-Architected Framework. You set
the naming, tagging, and structure that every downstream workload inherits.
Network Architecture
Own the network design across
engagements. Hub-and-spoke and Virtual WAN topologies, private connectivity,
ExpressRoute, NSG and firewall rule sets, DNS and conditional forwarding,
private endpoints, and routing.
Workshops & Design Documentation
Facilitate technical discovery
and design workshops with client architects and engineers. Convert workshop
decisions into clear Solution Architecture Documents, network designs, decision
records, and as-built documentation. Your artefacts are the reference the
delivery team and the client govern against.
Infrastructure as Code
Build and maintain the landing
zone and accelerator deployments as code in Bicep or Terraform. Establish
reusable modules, parameterised environments, and CI/CD deployment pipelines.
You bring the discipline that makes a platform repeatable, reviewable, and safe
to change.
Technical Leadership on Engagements
Set the technical standard on
the projects you lead. Review the work of platform engineers and contractors,
resolve the hard design decisions, and keep delivery aligned to the
architecture. You raise the technical quality of everyone delivering alongside
you.
What We’re Looking For
- Deep, hands-on experience designing and delivering
Azure Landing Zones and platform accelerators for enterprise clients, aligned
to CAF and Well-Architected.
- Strong Azure networking expertise across hub-and-spoke
and Virtual WAN, ExpressRoute, NSGs, Azure Firewall, private endpoints, private
DNS, and routing.
- Proven infrastructure as code delivery with Bicep or
Terraform, including modular design, parameterised environments, and CI/CD
deployment pipelines.
- Track record authoring Solution Architecture Documents,
network designs, decision records, and as-built documentation to a high
editorial standard.
- Confident facilitating technical workshops with client
architects and engineers, and converting decisions into deliverable design.
- Working knowledge of Azure identity, policy, and
governance, including management groups, Entra, RBAC, and Azure Policy.
- Comfortable acting as the technical lead on an
engagement, setting standards and reviewing the work of other engineers.
- Able to work autonomously in a remote-first environment
while staying tightly connected to the delivery team.
Nice to Have
- Microsoft certifications such as Azure Solutions
Architect Expert or Azure Network Engineer Associate.
- Experience with GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps
pipelines for infrastructure deployment and policy as code.
- Background in enterprise cloud migrations and landing
zone remediation of existing estates.
- Familiarity with Azure Verified Modules and the Azure
Landing Zone accelerator (ALZ) reference implementations.
- Experience designing and delivering Azure Virtual
Desktop environments.
- Exposure to FinOps practices and cost governance across
platform environments.
- Tertiary degree in computer science or a related field.
