## Job description

Magna Legal Services is a trusted nationwide partner to law firms, corporations, insurance carriers, and government agencies, delivering comprehensive legal support at every stage of a case. From court reporting and record retrieval to jury consulting, investigations, litigation graphics, and language services, we help our clients navigate complex legal challenges with confidence. Our reputation is built on the expertise, dedication, and professionalism of our team, and we’re proud to foster a culture where talented people can do meaningful work and grow their careers.

Magna Legal Services runs on a growing portfolio of business applications — supporting everything from case and client management to internal operations — most of it built and hosted on Azure. Keeping that portfolio secure, stable, and cost-effective is a shared responsibility between our enterprise development teams and our infrastructure organization, and it's growing more complex as the number of applications and the scale of our cloud footprint increases. We're looking for a senior cloud solutions architect and hands-on systems engineer who can lead solution design and remain directly involved in implementation. You'll partner with development teams to design new Azure solutions and work with infrastructure to keep the underlying platform secure and well governed.

Position

You'll design, build, and govern the Azure environment that supports Magna's applications firm-wide — not any single product, but the full portfolio of business and client-facing systems our enterprise development and infrastructure teams run on. You'll own the security, configuration, and operational stability of that environment, and manage and monitor cloud costs and usage across it.

You'll partner closely with enterprise development teams to design cloud-native and hybrid application architectures — IaaS, PaaS, containers, and serverless — and with our general infrastructure team on the identity, networking, and hybrid connectivity that everything else depends on.

You'll also keep an eye on where the platform is headed: tracking upcoming changes to Azure and Microsoft 365, planning how to absorb them without disrupting the business, and making sure the rest of IT is up to speed on what's changing and why.

Primary Responsibilities

- Architect and build secure, cost-effective cloud solutions on Azure to meet business and application requirements across Magna
- Own the governance, configuration, security, and stability of the Azure environment — manage and monitor cloud costs, services, and hybrid infrastructure
- Partner with enterprise development teams to design and implement cloud-native and hybrid application architectures (IaaS, PaaS, containers, serverless)
- Partner with the general infrastructure team on identity, networking, directory services, and hybrid connectivity between on-premises and Azure
- Work with IT leadership and business units to understand requirements, and develop and execute plans to implement and deploy responsive solutions
- Track upcoming changes to the platform and plan how to absorb them without operational interruption
- Monitor and communicate service performance to stakeholders; make sure delivery meets business requirements and SLAs
- Champion the adoption of Microsoft 365 and Azure services where they genuinely help the business, and help train and develop the IT staff who support them
- Create and maintain policies and documentation for the proper use of Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, and other cloud services
- Collaborate with networking, security, support, and application teams to resolve issues effectively
- Document changes using change management best practices
- Maintain a highly secure environment through proper configuration and access monitoring
- Keep up to date with evolving Azure and Microsoft 365 technologies

Desired Background

- 8+ years designing, supporting, deploying, and evolving technology platforms and infrastructure in a highly distributed enterprise environment
- 8+ years of Microsoft Windows Server administration experience
- 5+ years of experience with Microsoft 365 in an environment of 700+ users
- 3+ years designing, deploying, and supporting Azure, including mission-critical and highly secure workloads
- Deep knowledge of the Microsoft cloud ecosystem — Azure Storage, App Services, Azure Networking, Containers, Data Services, Defender for Cloud, and Entra ID
- Deep knowledge of Active Directory, Configuration Manager, networking, DNS, Hyper-V, clustering, and GPOs
- Experience managing directory sync into Azure AD, migration to Azure AD, and hybrid coupling with Azure AD Domain Services
- Advanced PowerShell skills for managing Azure and Microsoft 365 at scale
- Excellent written and verbal communication — you'll be translating between business needs, developers, and infrastructure
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Sciences or a similar field, or equivalent experience and/or certifications

## Preferred Qualifications

- MCSE, Microsoft 365, Azure (IaaS/PaaS), or equivalent cloud certifications
- Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (ARM/Bicep/Terraform) and CI/CD pipelines
- Experience with containerized (AKS) or serverless (Azure Functions) architectures
- Experience with Azure Landing Zones or similar governance/subscription design work
- Experience with data security standards and regulations relevant to the legal industry
- Experience in a legal or regulated business environment, including handling highly secure and confidential client data

The Team

You'll report to the IT Director / VP of IT. Your day-to-day partners:

- Enterprise development teams — for cloud-native and hybrid application architecture across Magna's application portfolio
- General infrastructure team — for identity, networking, and hybrid on-premises/Azure connectivity
- IT leadership and business units — for requirements, priorities, and rollout planning
- Networking, security, support, and application teams — for day-to-day issue resolution
