    Description
    We are seeking a Cloud Infrastructure Architect (SE2) to lead the modernization of a complex development and operations environment as it transitions to a cloud-native architecture. In this role, you will serve as a technical pioneer-designing the roadmap, reusable patterns, and foundational services that enable teams to adopt cloud capabilities while maintaining flexibility for hybrid and on-premise solutions where required.

You will work closely with engineering teams, cloud service providers, and technical leadership to deliver scalable, secure, and developer-friendly infrastructure.
    Responsibilities
    • Lead cloud architecture strategy by designing technical roadmaps, reusable patterns, and shared services that enable scalable cloud adoption.
    • Develop high-ROI pilot solutions and "easy-button" templates to accelerate team onboarding while supporting hybrid infrastructure models.
    • Architect end-to-end solutions for complex services, including large-scale data storage, cloud migration, and integration between legacy and cloud-native systems.
    • Conduct technical assessments of existing infrastructure, documenting dependencies, evaluating platform viability, and prioritizing modernization efforts.
    • Build prioritization frameworks based on lifecycle status, operational impact, cost efficiency, and user experience.
    • Partner with cloud professional services teams and internal stakeholders to validate architectures and ensure solutions meet operational and security requirements.
    • Design modern workflows and developer experiences, including unified authentication, access patterns, and support for large-scale datasets.
    • Communicate architectural decisions clearly and effectively to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
    • Champion best practices that improve developer productivity, system reliability, and long-term platform sustainability.
    Skills Requirements
    • Deep systems engineering expertise, including hands-on experience with complex enterprise infrastructure and legacy environments.
    • Proven production cloud architecture experience, preferably with AWS, including VPC design, storage tiers, compute options, and security controls.
    • Demonstrated experience leading infrastructure modernization or cloud migration initiatives.
    • Strong understanding of cloud economics, trade-offs, and cost/performance optimization.
    • Ability to design pragmatic migration paths that maintain system availability during transformation.
    • Excellent technical communication and stakeholder management skills.
    • Ability to translate between engineers, security teams, cloud vendors, and leadership.
    • Strong documentation skills for architectural decisions, patterns, and standards.
    Ways of Working
    Success in this role requires alignment with the following principles:
    • Service mindset: Technology decisions serve operational and user needs first.
    • Collaboration over heroics: Progress is driven through constant communication, iteration, and shared ownership.
    • Pragmatic execution: Balance long-term architecture with near-term delivery and measurable impact.
    • Design for optionality: Enable hybrid approaches that allow teams flexibility while leveraging shared cloud services.
    • Team cultivation: Share knowledge generously and empower others to succeed.
    • Iterative delivery: Favor rapid prototyping, tight feedback loops, and incremental wins.
    Nice to Haves
    • Experience supporting software development environments in restricted or highly controlled systems.
    • Background working closely with application or platform engineers.
    • Familiarity with security-driven cloud deployment processes and compliance workflows.
    • Experience with FinOps or cloud cost optimization practices.
    • Ability to make data-driven recommendations on when cloud adoption provides true value.
    Education & Experience Requirement
    • Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical discipline and 8+ years of relevant professional experience
      OR
    • 12+ years of relevant professional experience in lieu of a degree
