Azure Stack Hub & Azure Stack Edge Migration Architect :: 100% Remote
About The Position
The Azure Stack Hub & Azure Stack Edge Migration Architect serves as the technical authority for migrations from Azure Stack Hub (ASH) and Azure Stack Edge (ASE) to Azure and Azure Local. The role assesses customer environments and determines migration patterns, sequencing, dependencies, and technical readiness. It provides architectural guidance across compute, storage, networking, identity, security, monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery, and leads technical discovery workshops to identify risks, unsupported configurations, hardware constraints, and integration dependencies. The architect reviews migration runbooks, engineering procedures, rollback strategies, and operational readiness plans, and validates migration methodologies created by Microsoft engineering teams for field applicability. The role provides deep technical guidance across Azure Stack Hub, Azure Stack Edge, Azure Local, Azure Arc, hybrid cloud connectivity, Azure networking, and identity and access management. It also guides engineers through complex hybrid infrastructure and edge troubleshooting. The position reviews and validates migration scripts, automation frameworks, and deployment tools; troubleshoots PowerShell-based workflows; validates prerequisites and dependency checks; and ensures automation is repeatable, scalable, and production-ready. It serves as a Tier-3/Tier-4 escalation point, coordinates with Microsoft Product Engineering on defects and product limitations, leads root-cause analysis, and develops mitigation and recovery plans. The architect owns migration guidance and operational documentation, reviews Microsoft Learn content for technical accuracy, and creates decision trees, troubleshooting guides, best practices, and reusable engineering artifacts. The role also leads technical discussions with strategic customers, presents architecture recommendations and roadmaps, communicates risks and remediation options, conducts executive-level technical briefings, supports escalations and critical migration events, and partners with Microsoft Account Teams, CSA teams, Product Engineering, and Support organizations.
