Cloud Architect

Youre good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development. You are customer-focused – someone who prioritizes customer success in their work. And finally, you’re open and borderless – naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

Required Technical and Professional Experience

• Cloud Architecture (GCP/AWS): Hands-on experience designing multi-tier, fault-tolerant, cloud-native enterprise applications, primarily using GCP and secondarily AWS.
• Data Center & Infrastructure: Solid understanding of systems, storage, security, and networking across both traditional data center environments and public cloud (IaaS/PaaS).
• Infrastructure as Code & Automation: Experience automating infrastructure and configurations using tools like Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, and GitHub.
• CI/CD & Scripting: Expertise building re-usable release pipelines in Jenkins or AWS CodePipeline, paired with strong scripting skills (Python, Shell/Bash, PowerShell, YAML).
• OS & Core Tech: Hands-on mastery of both Linux and Windows environments, including database and application interoperability.

Preferred Technical and Professional Experience

• DevSecOps & CI/CD Leadership: Experience leading DevSecOps/SRE projects, setting up GitOps workflows, and designing robust CI/CD pipelines integrating tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo, and ELK.
• Infrastructure Automation (IaC): Deep expertise in delivering immutable infrastructure-as-code and automating platform deployments using Terraform, CloudFormation, Anthos Config Management, and GCVE.
• Customer Consulting & Migration: Track record of leading technical workshops with enterprise clients to architect advanced AWS solutions and design migration strategies from data centers to the cloud.
• Architecture Review & Optimization: Proven ability to perform periodic architecture reviews to enhance application performance, drive cost optimization, and thoroughly document technical frameworks.
• Internal Tooling & Scale: Collaborative skills in building utility tools and scripts (such as Chef cookbooks) that enable engineering teams to operate safely at high speed and wide scale.

Migration:

• End-to-End Migration Ownership: Own the full cloud migration lifecycle across multiple waves, from discovery, assessment, and dependency mapping to runbooks, execution governance, and final cutover.
• GCP Target State Design: Lead the architecture of secure GCP landing zones, designing core infrastructure frameworks including networking, identity, security, logging, monitoring, and shared services.
• Migration Strategy & Governance: Define, govern, and execute migration patterns (rehost, replatform, modernize) while managing downtime planning and translating technical assessments into execution plans.
• Tool Selection & Oversight: Drive the selection and architectural oversight of native and third-party migration tools for VMs, applications, databases, and containers (e.g., GCP Migration Center, M2VM, HCX).
