As a CloudTechnical Architect, youwill play a key rolein designing, implementing, and optimizing our cloud ecosystem, primarily on Microsoft Azure while supporting multi-cloud
Your responsibilities go beyond puretechnical delivery: youwill also contribute to cost- awarenessand FinOps practices, making sure that architectural choices balance performance, security, and financial efficiency.
Cloud Architecture s Design: Contribute to the translation of business and IT strategies into secure, scalable, and resilient cloud solutions. Support the design of Azure and multi-cloud architectures, aligning implementations with enterprise standards and helpingto develop reusable components that enable consistent cloud adoption.
Cloud Governance and Standards: Support the integration of CI/CD pipelines to enable secureand consistent deployments, collaborating with engineering teams to industrialize cloud provisioning and improve reusability of
Work with security teams to ensure compliance with internal and regulatory requirements such as NIS2, ISO 27001, and CIS Benchmarks.
~ Cloud Operations and Optimization : Contribute to workload placement strategies that balance resilience and cost, and collaborate with operations teams to streamline cloud operations through automation and observability.
~ Data Services: Contribute to the design and integration of database solutions within cloud architectures, ensuring performance, scalability, security, and availability requirements are met. Support teams in implementing managed services, encryption strategies, backup policies, and high-availability configurations.
~ Cloud Financial Management (FinOps) : Apply FinOps practices to improve financial accountability in cloud environments. strategies, and reporting models in collaboration with finance teams. Collaboration : Work closely with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to ensure successful project delivery. Share knowledge and contribute to building a culture of efficient, secure,and cost-conscious cloud adoption.
