Role Summary

Are you curious, enthusiastic about infrastructure, and ready to solve complex challenges in the Frontier AI era? Join us as a Cloud & AI Infrastructure Solution Engineer for nonprofit customers at Microsoft Elevate.

In this technical sales role, you will help customers design secure, scalable, resilient, and sovereign cloud architectures that support their Frontier transformation and modernization goals and guide organizations through modernization, migration, and transformation — translating technical capabilities into significant business outcomes.

You will collaborate across teams to deliver impactful solutions that enhance agility, reduce costs, and unlock value through AI-powered infrastructure.

As a Cloud & AI Infrastructure Solution Engineer, you will play a key role in helping customers modernize their Platform Estate, including hardware, software, applications, databases, security and networking with the full value of Microsoft’s cloud.

You bring deep expertise in migrating core workloads—including Windows, Linux, and Oracle—to Azure. Beyond migration, you lead customers through modernization using the 6R strategy, containerization best practices, and Azure-native services like AKS, while exploring how Agentic AI and Tooling (e.g., Azure Copilot, GitHub Copilot, Agentic Assessment) can accelerate Frontier transformation.

You complement this with strong networking knowledge to design hybrid and cloud-native solutions, including virtual networks, VPNs, secure routing architectures and trusted partner solutions to ensure secure, optimized, and scalable solutions.

As you join the team, you will have the opportunity to accelerate your career growth, develop deep business acumen, hone your technical skills, and become adept at solution design and deployment. In summary, you’ll help customers modernize their existing platforms to realize the full value of Microsoft’s platform, all while enjoying flexible work opportunities.
