Cloud Services Architect

Design and deliver secure, scalable cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI while establishing strong governance and Dev Sec Ops  practices. Lead CI/CD, IaC, Kubernetes, and observability frameworks to enable efficient, automated, and reliable application delivery. Partner with engineering and security teams to drive cloud modernization, optimize costs, and ensure enterprise‑grade performance and compliance.

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure, and highly available cloud architectures across AWS, Azure, GCP, and/or OCI environments.
• Define and enforce cloud landing zones, including networking, identity & access management (IAM), logging, monitoring, and governance standards.
• Architect and standardize CI/CD pipelines for application delivery, infrastructure provisioning, and containerized workloads using modern Dev Ops tools.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, Cloud Formation, ARM, or equivalent tools to ensure consistent and repeatable deployments.
• Design and manage container platforms and Kubernetes environments (EKS, AKS, GKE, OKE), including ingress, autoscaling, and multi-tenant strategies.
• Embed Dev Sec Ops  practices into the software delivery lifecycle, including security scanning, secrets management, policy-as-code, and compliance automation.
• Establish observability and reliability frameworks, including monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response aligned with SRE best practices.
• Lead cloud cost optimization and Fin Ops initiatives, including capacity planning, cost monitoring, and spend optimization strategies.
• Define cloud governance standards, reference architectures, and best practices to support enterprise adoption and scalability.
• Collaborate with application, security, and infrastructure teams to align cloud solutions with business and compliance requirements.
• Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and design guidance to Dev Ops, platform, and engineering teams.
• Review architecture designs, code, and pipelines to ensure adherence to security, performance, and operational standards.
• Support cloud migrations, modernization initiatives, and hybrid/multi-cloud integrations.

Minimum Degree Requirement: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering, or a closely related field.

3 years total professional experience in cloud architecture, Dev Ops, or infrastructure engineering.

• Monitoring & Observability (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, cloud-native tools): 1 year setting up dashboards, alerts, and log aggregation for system reliability.
• Security & Compliance (Dev Sec Ops  practices, policy-as-code, secrets management): 1 year embedding automated security scans and compliance checks into pipelines.
• Fin Ops & Cost Optimization: 1 year analyzing cloud spend, implementing cost controls, and optimizing resource utilization.
• Cloud Governance (landing zones, reference architectures): 1 year defining standards and enforcing enterprise cloud adoption frameworks.
• Collaboration (cross‑functional teams): 1 year working with developers, security engineers, and infrastructure teams to align solutions.
• Leadership & Mentorship: 1 year guiding junior engineers, reviewing designs, and providing technical direction.
• Architecture Review (designs, pipelines, code): 1 year conducting reviews to ensure compliance with performance, security, and operational standards.
• Cloud Migrations & Modernization: 1 year supporting lift‑and‑shift migrations, refactoring applications, and enabling hybrid/multi‑cloud integrations.
