Our client is looking for an Atechnical Architect.
The client has undertaken a strategic transition to a modern platform based on Azure Integration Services (AIS) to meet the growing needs for integration and modernization. In this context, particular attention is paid to migrating existing integration flows, currently operated via BizTalk Server, to native cloud services such as Logic Apps, Azure Service Bus, and Event Grid. The mission will also involve supporting this transition by defining a robust and scalable target architecture, taking into account current operational specifics and constraints. In-depth knowledge of best practices for migrating an on-premises integration platform to the cloud is essential.
Main Tasks
The main tasks include the following elements: Migrate existing BizTalk flows to Azure Integration Services:
-
Identify, analyze, and document existing BizTalk artifacts (orchestrations, pipelines, maps, schemas).
-
Design modern equivalents with Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Event Grid, and API Management.
-
Plan and execute the migration in collaboration with technical and functional teams.
Define a cloud-native integration strategy:
-
Develop an approach to standardize and streamline integrations between applications, databases, and external systems using AIS services.
-
Implement automated workflows via Logic Apps.
-
Configure and optimize Azure Service Bus for message management and hybrid connectivity.
Obsolescence management and technological alignment:
-
Participate in the gradual decommissioning of BizTalk Server.
-
Identify critical dependencies and minimize service interruptions during migration.
Automation and governance:
-
Develop infrastructure templates for AIS using Infrastructure as Code (ARM Templates, Bicep, Terraform).
-
Implement governance rules and policies for AIS flows, integrating Azure Policy and Azure Monitor.
Support and documentation:
-
Provide level 3 support to operational teams for incidents related to new AIS integrations.
-
Document migrated architectures, best practices, and operating procedures.
Desired Profile
The technical skills sought include the following elements: Azure Integration Services (AIS):
-
In-depth knowledge of AIS components, including Logic Apps, Azure Functions, Event Grid, and API Management (Must).
