The ideal candidate should be comfortable working with technical stakeholders, leading architecture discussions, identifying opportunities for automation and AI adoption, and ensuring solutions align with enterprise security, scalability, performance, and compliance requirements.
Key Responsibilities
1. Cloud Architecture & Engineering
- Design and implement scalable, resilient, and secure cloud architectures across AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
- Develop cloud adoption, migration, and optimization strategies for enterprise applications.
- Establish architectural standards and best practices for cloud-native development, infrastructure automation, and resource management.
- Evaluate cloud services and recommend appropriate technologies based on business and technical requirements.
- Drive containerization and orchestration strategies using Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.
- Design and implement DevSecOps practices that integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle.
- Develop and optimize CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or similar platforms.
- Integrate automated security scanning, vulnerability assessment, compliance validation, and code quality checks into deployment pipelines.
- Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, or equivalent technologies.
- Establish monitoring, logging, observability, and automated deployment practices to improve reliability and operational efficiency.
- Identify opportunities to incorporate AI/ML capabilities into enterprise applications, business workflows, and modernization initiatives.
- Design architectures that enable secure integration of AI services, large language models (LLMs), and generative AI capabilities.
- Evaluate AI platforms, APIs, model integration patterns, and automation frameworks to address business challenges.
- Support the implementation of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents, and enterprise knowledge integration where appropriate.
- Establish architectural guardrails for AI security, data privacy, governance, responsible AI, and model access.
- Guide engineering teams in selecting practical, scalable AI solutions that deliver measurable business value.
- Design secure, scalable, and reusable APIs and integration frameworks for enterprise applications.
- Establish API standards covering RESTful services, API versioning, authentication, authorization, throttling, and lifecycle management.
- Implement API security and access controls using OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, JWT, and related standards.
- Evaluate and implement API management platforms, gateways, microservices, and event-driven integration patterns.
- Ensure seamless integration between legacy systems, cloud platforms, modern applications, and external services.
- Lead the modernization of legacy applications through cloud migration, re-platforming, refactoring, and re-architecting.
- Assess existing application portfolios and identify opportunities to improve scalability, maintainability, performance, and security.
- Design modern application architectures using microservices, serverless computing, containers, and cloud-native patterns as appropriate.
- Develop modernization roadmaps, architecture diagrams, technical standards, and implementation strategies.
- Guide development teams in adopting modern engineering practices while minimizing disruption to existing business operations.
- Lead architecture reviews, technical design sessions, and solution planning discussions with business and engineering stakeholders.
- Translate complex business requirements into clear technical designs, implementation plans, and architectural recommendations.
- Collaborate with application development, infrastructure, security, data, and DevOps teams.
- Identify technical risks, dependencies, and opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement.
- Mentor engineering teams and promote architectural consistency, reusable components, and engineering best practices.
- Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- 10+ years of experience in software engineering, cloud engineering, enterprise architecture, or solution architecture.
- Demonstrated experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale cloud solutions.
- Strong hands-on expertise in at least one major cloud platform: AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Proven experience implementing DevSecOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and security controls.
