At ChannelEngine, we specialise in providing e-commerce solutions for online retailers. Our innovative platform enables businesses to connect their online stores with online marketplaces around the world, and manage their sales operations from a single dashboard. By automating and streamlining the selling process, we help businesses scale their operations and increase their online revenue. 

As part of our mission to become the number 1 marketplace integrator in the world, we are moving from on-premise to the cloud and are looking for an Azure Solutions Architect to take the reins of this migration, including the high-level planning and the hands-on implementation. We offer hybrid working (once per week at the office is enough), a diverse and vibrant team to work with, and plenty of interesting projects to sink your teeth into.

• Helping make our product even more scalable by automating the testing, release and deployment of applications,

• Optimising the cloud infrastructure for performance, security, and cost-effectiveness, including ongoing monitoring and fine-tuning,

• Advising ChannelEngine on best cloud practices and approaches.

• A bachelor’s (HBO) degree in IT, Computer Science, or a related field,
