Experis is supporting a key client who requires an experienced Azure Architect for a one-off project focused on reviewing, refining, and strengthening their existing cloud estate.
The primary objective is to assess and redesign Role Based Access Control, ensuring permissions are structured correctly, security gaps are identified, and governance is consistent across development, test, and production environments. You will review the current build, validate previous architectural decisions, highlight areas for improvement, and implement a cleaner, more secure RBAC model based on grouped permissions rather than individual assignments.
This engagement will involve architectural assessment, blueprinting, roadmap creation, and hands-on implementation where needed. You will work closely with the internal cloud owner, lead developer, and lead data engineer to improve the overall security posture and ensure the Azure environment is well aligned to best practice.
Strong Azure expertise is essential, including experience with Power Platform and virtual Firewalls.
