Summary

We are looking for an experienced Pre-Sales Architect to lead solutioning and pre-sales for Applications and Infrastructure opportunities across Malaysia and the wider Southeast Asia region. The successful candidate will partner with sales, delivery and Microsoft account teams to shape, qualify and win deals — translating client business problems into compelling, commercially-viable Microsoft-centric solutions, with a primary focus on application modernization, cloud-native architectures, and AI-infused software delivery on Azure.

This is a client-facing, strategic role for someone who can hold their own in a CTO/CIO conversation, lead solution workshops, defend technical decisions during deal reviews, and produce high-quality proposals, estimates and architecture deliverables.

Key Responsibilities

Pre-Sales & Solutioning

• Own the technical solution for Apps and Infra pursuits — from qualification through proposal, orals and contracting.

• Lead discovery workshops with client stakeholders to elicit business drivers, current-state pain points and future-state ambitions.

• Design end-to-end solution architectures spanning application modernization, microservices, integration, DevSecOps and underlying Azure infrastructure.

• Produce solution artefacts: architecture diagrams, capability maps, estimate models, delivery approach, risk registers and assumption logs.

• Partner with commercial and delivery leadership to construct deal shapes, pricing, resourcing and transition plans.

Application Modernization & Cloud-Native Design

• Define modernization roadmaps using the 6Rs (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Rearchitect, Rebuild, Retire) and Azure migration patterns.

• Architect microservices-based solutions leveraging AKS, Azure Container Apps, Azure Functions, API Management, Service Bus, Event Grid and Cosmos DB.

• Apply cloud-native patterns: 12-factor apps, event-driven architectures, CQRS, saga, strangler-fig, anti-corruption layer.

• Advise clients on legacy decomposition strategies (monolith-to-microservices, mainframe offload, .NET Framework to .NET modernization).

LLM-Driven SDLC & AI-Infused Engineering

• Position and shape engagements that embed GenAI across the software delivery lifecycle — including GitHub Copilot adoption, AI-assisted code review, requirements engineering, test generation and documentation.

• Architect AI agents and copilots integrated into client engineering workflows.

• Define adoption frameworks, governance and measurement approaches for AI-augmented engineering productivity.

• Stay ahead of the Microsoft AI stack: Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, GitHub Copilot Enterprise, Copilot Studio.

Stakeholder Engagement

• Build trusted relationships with Microsoft account teams (ATU, STU, CSU) in Malaysia to co-sell and source opportunities.

• Represent Avanade in client meetings, industry events and Microsoft partner forums.

• Mentor junior architects and solution consultants within the practice.

Senior Terraform / IaC Engineer — Azure Landing Zone

Practice

Cloud & Infrastructure, Avanade India

Location

Bengaluru/NCR, India (Hybrid)

Experience

6–10 years overall in cloud infrastructure and platform engineering, with deep hands-on Terraform experience building Azure landing zones and provisioning Azure services as code

Avanade India’s Cloud & Infrastructure practice is looking for a Senior Terraform / Infrastructure as Code Engineer to build enterprise Azure platforms for our clients. This is a deeply hands-on subject-matter-expert role — the person in it writes the Terraform that provisions the landing zone, and is measured on the quality and reusability of the code they produce.

You will work within the platform team on the landing zone build and on the Azure services that sit inside it, taking the target-state design and turning it into tested, reusable, parameterised Terraform that runs through automated pipelines. The role suits an engineer who wants to stay hands-on, set the standard for how infrastructure code is written, and be the go-to person on Terraform for the engagement.

• Build Azure landing zones using Terraform — management groups, subscriptions, policy assignments, networking, identity and the core platform services that sit within them.
• Write, structure and maintain reusable Terraform modules rather than one-off configurations — variables, locals, dynamic blocks, outputs and clean module interfaces.
• Provision and configure Azure services as code: networking, Key Vault, storage, Log Analytics, compute, backup, private endpoints and policy assignments.
• Parameterise a single codebase to deploy consistently across multiple environments and regions.
• Design and manage Terraform state at scale — remote backends, state segmentation, locking and provider configuration.
• Test and validate infrastructure code — terraform validate and plan, tflint, and a security scanner such as Checkov or tfsec, wired into the development workflow.
• Work to proper Git discipline — feature branches, pull requests and meaningful code review, both giving and receiving.
• Document modules properly — README, inputs and outputs, and worked examples so other engineers can consume them.
• Support the CI/CD pipelines that deliver the infrastructure — Terraform plan and apply stages, approval gates, secrets handling and drift detection.
• Write supporting automation in PowerShell, Bash or Python where Terraform alone is not the right tool.
• Troubleshoot deployment failures, state issues and drift, and remediate them cleanly.
• Act as the hands-on Terraform SME for the engagement — setting coding standards, reviewing others’ code and uplifting engineers around you.
• Contribute reusable modules and patterns back to the practice IP library.

• 6–10 years of overall experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering or infrastructure automation, with a substantial recent focus on Microsoft Azure.
• Strong hands-on Terraform (HCL) — modules, variables, locals, dynamic blocks, outputs, and dependency and provider management.
• Demonstrated experience building and testing reusable modules rather than writing one-off configurations.
• Experience building Azure landing zone components with Terraform, aligned to Cloud Adoption Framework patterns.
• Hands-on Azure resource experience: networking, Key Vault, storage, Log Analytics, policy assignments, compute and identity.
• Comfortable parameterising a single codebase across multiple environments and regions.
• Terraform state management at scale — remote backends, state design and access model.
• Familiarity with terraform validate and plan, tflint, and a security scanner (Checkov or tfsec).
• Git discipline: feature branches, pull requests and meaningful code review.
• Proper module documentation — README, inputs/outputs and examples.
• Clear communication with architects, engineers and client technical teams.

• Scripting in PowerShell, Bash or Python for supporting automation.
• DevOps capability for infrastructure delivery: multi-stage YAML pipelines in Azure DevOps (or GitHub Actions), Terraform CI (format, validate, lint, security scan on pull requests) and CD (plan and apply stages, environments, approval gates).
• Service connections and workload identity federation in place of long-lived secrets; securing the Terraform state backend.
• Release management practice — branching and release strategy, artifact management and agent pools.
• Scheduled drift detection, pipeline health monitoring and platform monitoring with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.
• Certifications: HashiCorp Terraform Associate, AZ-104, AZ-400 or AZ-305.
• Experience with Azure Landing Zone accelerators (Terraform ALZ modules / Enterprise-Scale).
• Exposure to Bicep or ARM, and to AWS or GCP providers.
• Experience in a global delivery / SI environment (Avanade, Accenture, or similar) working with distributed teams.
