Senior Software Architect, Python & Azure

Senior Software Architect, Python & Azure

Data platform is a strategic cloud-native platform developed for a German OEM to standardize and accelerate the deployment of AI, analytics, and digital services across the enterprise. Built on Microsoft Azure, the data platform provides a modular, scalable, and secure foundation for delivering DataOps, ML workflows, and self-service environments to internal teams and partners.

It enables:

• Unified infrastructure provisioning across business units
• Automation of cloud resource deployment using Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi/Bicep)
• Integration of services like Azure ML, Databricks, OpenAI, AI Search, and Power BI/Fabric
• Fine-grained access control using Entra ID, Managed Identities, and Service Principals
• Full support for multi-environment compliance, secure networking, and cost transparency

This acts as the core delivery backbone for AI-driven innovation, enabling rapid onboarding, operational consistency, and secure collaboration across teams.
