You’ll join a digital organisation that runs a large, modern ICT landscape and is steadily moving toward a Cloud-first approach. The Systems team manages the full infrastructure stack — from servers and networks to cloud platforms — and ensures reliability, availability, and performance across all services.

As an Azure Cloud Architect, you help design, implement, and evolve cloud environments that are secure, scalable, and future-proof. You enjoy solving complex challenges, exploring new technologies, and turning ideas into robust solutions that support the entire organisation.

What You’ll Do

You work hands-on across the full cloud lifecycle:

  • Design and implement Azure architectures that support stable and high-availability environments.
  • Manage and optimise Azure resources and services in a structured, best-practice way.
  • Apply and maintain strong cloud security standards.
  • Automate Azure environments using scripting (Bicep, PowerShell, …).
  • Configure and improve Azure components, processes, and deployments.
  • Support cloud recovery, monitoring, and performance improvements.
  • Manage access, delegation, and identity integration with Entra ID.
  • Contribute to cloud adoption, platform evolution, and continuous improvement.

What are we looking for?

  • You bring more than 3 years of experience designing, building, and managing cloud solutions in Microsoft Azure.
  • You understand cloud architecture, automation, governance, identity, and cost management.
  • You’re comfortable working in Agile environments and able to structure your work clearly.
  • You communicate fluently in Dutch, with active knowledge of English and French.
  • A relevant IT degree or equivalent experience is expected.
  • Technologies you should know your way around:
    • Azure services, governance, and architecture
    • Bicep or similar scripting for IaC
    • Azure identity & access management (Entra ID, delegation, rights)
    • Automation & cloud operations
    • Cloud security & best practices
    • Cost management principles
Who You Are

A hands-on cloud specialist who enjoys innovation, problem-solving, and improving environments step by step. You think proactively, communicate clearly, and work well with both technical colleagues and wider stakeholders. Ownership and structure come naturally to you.

Location: Brussels (on-site, no remote)

Contract: Freelance or Permanent
