What this job asks for AI summary
A senior individual-contributor role responsible for end-to-end ownership of Azure cloud infrastructure at a healthcare organization. The work centers on designing, engineering, and operating secure enterprise Azure environments — covering networking, identity, governance, and hybrid connectivity — while leading the transition away from consultant-managed deployments toward internally owned, well-governed cloud infrastructure. The position suits an experienced Azure engineer or architect comfortable with COTS-heavy environments and cross-functional collaboration.

Why we read it this way (10)
The role is titled 'Senior Cloud Engineer Architect Azure' and explicitly described as the 'senior-most individual contributor' for Azure infrastructure — seniority is assessed as Senior (not Staff/Principal) because the scope is within a single organization's platform team, not org-wide technical authority across multiple teams.
SOC classification is Medium confidence: the role spans both building IaC/automation (15-1252 Software Developers) and operating/administering Azure infrastructure (15-1244 Network and Computer Systems Administrators). The emphasis on architecture, IaC with Terraform, and designing solutions tips it toward 15-1252, but the heavy networking operations and administration duties make 15-1244 a credible runner-up.
The JD states '5-7 years of job-related experience required' and 'at least 5 years of experience working in cloud engineering and technical architectural roles' — the overall years minimum is set to 5 (the stated minimum). Azure-specific experience is stated as '2-3 years minimum' — the years demanded on the Azure skill is set to 2 accordingly.
Terraform is listed as 'preferred' within the qualifications section ('with Terraform preferred'), so it is marked as preferred rather than a hard gate, even though it appears in a broadly required qualifications block.
Azure certifications (AZ-104, AZ-305) are explicitly framed as 'preferred' and 'highly desirable' — not hard gates.
The posting states a preference for candidates within driving distance of Dayton, OH, but the role is explicitly 100% remote. CBSA is set to Dayton, OH as the organizational anchor.
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a relevant technology field is stated as required; a Master's degree is preferred. Degree requirement is set to Bachelors.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 3 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Azure Well-Architected Framework, Azure Privileged Identity Management, Azure Solutions Architect Expert (AZ-305).
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
