Join Virtasant, a global, remote-first consultancy renowned for delivering concrete results. We revolutionize client environments with scalable, secure, and cost-efficient Azure solutions, solidifying our role as a trusted advisor to enterprise clients.

Your work will include end-to-end solution designs and migration strategies that detail dependencies, risks, and timelines, enabling seamless execution without guesswork.
You'll operate with significant autonomy alongside a skilled team of architects and FinOps specialists committed to clean designs, precise data, and client trust. Success is defined by approved strategies, smooth migrations, and Azure bills that decrease with clear explanations.
