Cloud Architect
Posted on February 23, 2026
Job Description
Role Overview:
Drive the technical architecture, deployment, and optimization of advanced cloud platforms (Azure/AWS/GCP) for enterprise analytics, AI/ML workloads, and mission-critical systems. Champion best practices in automation, security, and performance across complex multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
Key Technical Responsibilities:
Architect and implement scalable cloud-native solutions using microservices, containers (Docker, Kubernetes/AKS/EKS/GKE), serverless (Azure Functions, AWS Lambda), and event-driven patterns.
Design robust virtual network architectures, including VNET peering, private endpoints, VPN/ExpressRoute/Direct Connect, NSGs, firewalls, and application gateways.
Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines for cloud infrastructure and application deployment (using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation).
Integrate and secure Identity & Access Management (Azure AD, IAM, SSO, RBAC, Key Vault/Secrets Manager).
Develop policies and guardrails for cloud cost management, tagging, and resource governance (Azure Policy, AWS Config).
Lead cloud migration and modernization projects—assess existing infra, design migration blueprints, and execute workload lift-and-shift/refactor strategies.
Automate monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions (Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch).
Design resilient backup, disaster recovery, and geo-redundancy solutions using native cloud services.
Troubleshoot distributed systems, network, security, and performance issues at scale.
Document architectural decisions, create HLD/LLD artifacts, and provide technical mentorship to DevOps, platform, and engineering teams.
Requirements:
Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related.
Certifications: Azure Solutions Architect Expert or AWS/GCP equivalent.
Hands-on expertise in architecting multi-cloud/hybrid cloud solutions.
Proven experience with networking, security, identity, monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery in cloud.
Strong communication and documentation skills.
