Technology Consultant (Microsoft platforms/Azure)

This Technology Consulting role is designed for a senior technical consultant with deep hands-on expertise in Microsoft platforms. You will actively contribute to solution design and delivery excellence — engaging in technical discovery, architecture definition, and proof-of-concept development while bringing strong technical credibility to client engagements. Approximately half your time will be spent working directly with clients — running workshops, shaping solution blueprints, and validating technical approaches; the other half contributing to delivery quality and architectural consistency across active Microsoft programs.

• Clearly communicate scope, assumptions, and risks to both technical and executive audiences
• Design Azure and Microsoft platform solutions spanning application modernization, data platforms, AI/ML, and Copilot/Fabric workloads
• Analyze client application and data estates; develop transformation roadmaps and next-generation architectures
• Produce solution architecture documentation covering key technical decisions and the implementation approach
• Participate in solution design reviews and provide technical oversight across active engagements
• Support development efforts and help resolve technical challenges within the team
• Share expertise with EPAM engineers and contribute to raising technical standards across the practice
• Stay current on Microsoft platform developments and bring emerging capabilities into client conversations
• Actively contribute to EPAM's knowledge base and internal communities around the Microsoft ecosystem

Requirements

• 10+ years of IT experience, including at least 5 years as a technology consultant
• Strong expertise in Azure and the broader Microsoft platform across application modernization, data and analytics, and AI/ML workloads

• Familiarity with Agile delivery practices and DevOps tooling (IaC, CI/CD, automated deployment)
• Excellent communication skills — able to translate complex technical concepts into business language
• Background in large-scale software development or data engineering, enabling credible contribution to technical conversations on both the application and data/AI sides
