Cloud and Infrastructure Solutions Architect

Role Overview

The Cloud and Infrastructure Solutions Architect is a senior individual-contributor responsible for cloud and infrastructure architecture leadership, design governance, and technical delivery oversight for assigned customer environments.

You will act as a customer-facing technical advisor, partnering with customer stakeholders and internal leadership to define infrastructure strategies, architecture roadmaps, technical standards, and long-term operational objectives.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead architecture design and technical governance for cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments.
• Define and maintain architecture standards, design principles, solution patterns, and governance processes.
• Provide technical oversight to ensure initiatives align with approved architecture standards, resilience objectives, timelines, and operational requirements.
• Advise customers by translating complex technical concepts into business- and operations-focused recommendations.
• Present architecture roadmaps, recommendations, and risk/dependency/resilience considerations to leadership teams.
• Lead Microsoft Azure architecture design, including:
  • Networking and identity integration
  • Cloud security alignment
  • Backup, disaster recovery, and cloud-native resilience solutions
• Provide architecture guidance for AWS and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for targeted workloads and integrations.
• Govern on-premises infrastructure domains including compute, virtualization, storage, networking, database infrastructure, backup, and disaster recovery.
• Develop disaster recovery (DR) and operational resilience strategies (dependency mapping, recovery patterns, platform alignment, resiliency planning).
• Provide direction for DR technologies and cloud-native recovery solutions while partnering with operational teams for implementation and support.

Collaboration / Influence

• Collaborate with cloud, infrastructure, network, database, development, security, and project delivery teams.
• Influence delivery teams to reinforce technical standards and accountability for architecture alignment and implementation quality (no direct people management expected).
