About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design target-state cloud and hybrid architectures (networking, identity, security, compute, storage, observability) aligned to business and product roadmaps.
Own architecture standards, reference patterns, and governance (reviews, decision records, guardrails) across Azure/AWS/GCP.
Lead solution design for cloud migrations and modernization from on-premises/VMware environments, including dependency mapping and cutover approach.
Implement and coach teams on Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep/ARM, CloudFormation) and reusable automation modules.
Define non-functional requirements (availability, resiliency, DR, RTO/RPO, performance, scalability) and validate designs against them.
Architect security controls: IAM, encryption/key management, network segmentation, secrets management, and policy-as-code; ensure compliance alignment (e.g., GDPR/HIPAA where applicable).
Establish observability and SRE practices: monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and operational runbooks (Azure Monitor, CloudWatch, Google Cloud Operations).
Drive cost management and performance optimization using FinOps practices (tagging, budgets, rightsizing, commitments, chargeback/showback).
Partner with engineering and operations to enable CI/CD and platform capabilities (containers, Kubernetes, API integration) and ensure smooth handover to run teams.
Communicate architecture options, tradeoffs, and risk clearly to stakeholders; influence decisions through concise documentation and executive-ready narratives.
Evaluate emerging technologies (serverless, edge, AI/ML services) and lead proofs of concept from hypothesis to measurable outcomes.
