Hire Azure Cloud Architects | Nearshore Development Company

Microsoft Azure is the platform of choice for enterprises integrating tightly with the Microsoft ecosystem (Windows, Active Directory, .NET). You need an engineer who can navigate Azure's vast array of services-from scalable compute (Azure App Services, Azure Functions) and networking (VNet, Azure Firewall) to critical identity management (Azure AD). Our vetting process is designed to find certified experts who understand the nuances of the enterprise environment, prioritizing security, governance, and hybrid connectivity. We test for mastery of both PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) offerings, which simplify operations, and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) for maximum control. By hiring an Azure expert from us, you get a developer who can design a robust, integrated, and compliant cloud solution that leverages your existing enterprise investments.

Is your hybrid cloud setup complex, insecure, or difficult to manage?

The Problem

Many enterprises require connectivity between their on-premises data centers and Azure. Poorly configured hybrid connectivity (e.g., VPN gateways) or a lack of synchronization with Active Directory (AD) leads to security vulnerabilities, identity sprawl, and operational overhead.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We vet for engineers who are experts in Azure networking and identity. They must demonstrate proficiency in setting up secure VNet-to-VNet and on-premises-to-Azure connectivity and mastery of Azure AD and role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce a unified, secure identity model across the entire estate.

Proof: Azure Networking and Azure AD/RBAC Mastery

Are you struggling to manage application deployments efficiently?

The Problem

Developers often revert to manually deploying applications to VMs, bypassing Azure's powerful PaaS offerings. This increases operational toil and maintenance costs, failing to leverage the auto-scaling and managed services of App Services or AKS.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our engineers are masters of Azure's PaaS offerings. They are vetted on their ability to use Azure App Services for streamlined web deployment, Azure Functions for serverless event-driven logic, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) for container orchestration, dramatically reducing operational overhead.

Proof: PaaS (App Services, Functions) Deployment Expertise

Is your resource provisioning manual and inconsistent?

The Problem

Managing resources through the Azure Portal (clicking in the GUI) is slow, error-prone, and impossible to audit. This leads to configuration drift, security holes, and environments that are not repeatable.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We look for engineers proficient in Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) on Azure. They are vetted on their ability to use Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates or Terraform to define, deploy, and manage all cloud resources in a version-controlled, automated manner, guaranteeing consistency and compliance.

Proof: IaC Mastery (ARM/Terraform) and Policy Enforcement

Core Competencies We Validate

Core Services (Virtual Networks, App Services, Storage)

Identity and Security (Azure AD, RBAC, Key Vault)

Serverless and Containers (Azure Functions, AKS)

IaC (ARM Templates, Terraform)

Monitoring and Logging (Azure Monitor, Application Insights)

Our Technical Analysis

The Azure evaluation focuses on enterprise readiness, PaaS utilization, and hybrid cloud capabilities. Candidates are tested on their ability to design a robust, secure network using Virtual Networks (VNets) and subnets, and their mastery of Azure AD and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to enforce identity and least-privilege security. We rigorously assess their knowledge of PaaS offerings: candidates must justify the choice between Azure App Services, Azure Functions (serverless), and AKS (containers) for different application workloads. A key differentiator is their ability to use Azure Monitor and Application Insights for advanced telemetry, logging, and performance analysis. Finally, we require practical experience with Infrastructure-as-Code, assessing their ability to define and deploy complex resource groups using ARM templates or Terraform, ensuring all infrastructure is auditable and repeatable.
