Azure IoT Solutions Architect

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Azure IoT Solutions Architect based in United States.

This is a senior, hands-on architecture role focused on designing secure, scalable IoT solutions for enterprise and manufacturing environments.
You will lead end-to-end architecture across connected devices, edge gateways, industrial networks, Azure cloud services, applications, and data platforms.
The role combines Azure IoT architecture with product cybersecurity, cloud security engineering, compliance, and DevSecOps.
You will translate security and regulatory requirements into practical architecture decisions, engineering controls, roadmaps, and delivery priorities.
As a trusted technical leader, you will collaborate with engineering, cybersecurity, product, manufacturing, legal, compliance, and executive stakeholders.
You will also mentor technical teams and guide the delivery of secure connected products throughout their lifecycle.
This opportunity is ideal for an experienced architect who enjoys solving complex technical challenges at the intersection of IoT, cloud, security, and industrial technology.

• Design and lead secure, end-to-end IoT architectures spanning connected products, embedded and edge systems, gateways, networks, Azure services, APIs, applications, data platforms, and operational support.
• Define reusable architecture patterns for device onboarding, telemetry ingestion, command and control, digital services, remote diagnostics, lifecycle management, and industrial connectivity.
• Architect Azure IoT solutions using services such as Azure IoT Hub, Device Provisioning Service, IoT Edge, Event Hubs, Functions, Stream Analytics, storage, monitoring, and integration services.
• Guide integration with manufacturing and operational technology environments, including industrial gateways, plant networks, MQTT, AMQP, HTTPS, and OPC UA.
• Evaluate scalability, resilience, latency, availability, data retention, regional deployment, disaster recovery, and cost requirements for global IoT solutions.
• Embed security-by-design, Zero Trust, least privilege, secure provisioning, device identity, certificate management, encryption, secure updates, logging, monitoring, and incident response throughout the architecture.
• Lead threat modeling, attack-surface analysis, architecture risk assessments, security reviews, and vulnerability management for connected products and supporting services.
• Define and review Azure-native security controls involving Entra ID, managed identities, Key Vault, Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, Defender for IoT, Microsoft Sentinel, network security, and centralized monitoring.
• Lead compliance readiness for connected products by translating regulatory and cybersecurity requirements into technical controls, development standards, acceptance criteria, evidence, and operational processes.
• Establish practices for SBOM management, third-party component governance, vulnerability intake, coordinated vulnerability disclosure, remediation, security advisories, and secure software updates.
• Architect secure Azure environments, including landing zones, subscriptions, network segmentation, private connectivity, identity, logging, governance, and Infrastructure as Code using Bicep, ARM, Terraform, or equivalent tools.
• Define CI/CD and DevSecOps controls for cloud infrastructure, applications, edge modules, firmware interfaces, configuration, automated testing, security scanning, and release approvals.
• Maintain IoT, product-security, and regulatory-readiness roadmaps while prioritizing work according to business value, product risk, regulatory deadlines, and delivery dependencies.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, architecture governance, design workshops, backlog refinement, sprint planning, and release-readiness activities.
• Act as a trusted advisor to engineering, firmware, infrastructure, cybersecurity, manufacturing, operations, product, legal, compliance, and executive stakeholders.
• Communicate complex architecture, security, and regulatory topics clearly while mentoring architects, engineers, and developers on secure IoT engineering practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 8+ years of experience in cloud architecture, infrastructure, software architecture, cybersecurity, or related technical leadership roles.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and delivering IoT, connected-product, edge, or industrial technology solutions, preferably within manufacturing environments.
• Demonstrated experience designing Azure IoT solutions using Azure IoT Hub, Device Provisioning Service, IoT Edge, event and messaging services, data integration, monitoring, and security capabilities.
• Strong understanding of IoT and industrial communication protocols, including MQTT, AMQP, HTTPS, OPC UA, device gateways, intermittent connectivity, and store-and-forward architectures.
• Strong knowledge of device identity, X.509 certificates, PKI, secure provisioning, cryptography, key management, secure update mechanisms, and product vulnerability management.
• Experience with the EU Cyber Resilience Act and an understanding of manufacturer obligations, cybersecurity requirements, vulnerability handling, support periods, technical documentation, reporting, and conformity-assessment readiness.
• Experience applying secure development lifecycle practices, threat modeling, risk assessment, SBOM management, coordinated vulnerability disclosure, and product security incident response.
• Strong knowledge of Azure networking, Entra ID, governance, observability, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and DevSecOps practices.
• Proven ability to work in Agile environments and translate architecture, security, and regulatory requirements into actionable backlog items and acceptance criteria.
• Strong organizational, analytical, problem-solving, facilitation, communication, and executive presentation skills.
• Ability to manage complex priorities independently while collaborating effectively across technical and business teams.
• Preferred certifications include Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer Associate, CISSP, CISM, CISA, or CRISC.
• Experience with ISA/IEC 62443, ETSI EN 303 645, NISTIR 8259, ISO 27001, TISAX, CE-marking, conformity assessments, or other IoT and industrial cybersecurity frameworks is advantageous.
• Experience with embedded Linux, real-time operating systems, firmware interfaces, hardware security modules, trusted platform modules, secure elements, SBOM tooling such as SPDX or CycloneDX, and software composition analysis is a plus.

Benefits

• Starting compensation of $155,000 per year, with the final offer based on experience, skills, qualifications, certifications, market factors, and geographic location.
• Competitive compensation package with opportunities for professional growth.
• Comprehensive health benefits.
• 401(k) plan.
• Fully remote work environment.
• Potential occasional travel within the United States, including to client or manufacturing sites.
• Opportunity to work on innovative IoT, cloud, cybersecurity, and industrial technology initiatives.
