This is a remote position.
Cloud Infrastructure Architect (AWS / Azure / GCP)
Job Details
- Employment Type: Contract
- Work Mode: Remote
- Location: Offshore
- Total Experience Required: 8 to 12 years
- Relevant Experience Required: 5+ years of dedicated cloud infrastructure architecture design across major public cloud environments
- Mandatory Certification: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional, Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect
Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Cloud Infrastructure Architect to lead the strategic design, governance, and structural deployment of our multi-cloud enterprise footprints. The ideal candidate will map out robust network topologies, architect automated global landing zones, govern multi-tenant cloud migrations, and establish strict landing grid parameters to ensure platform scalability, fault tolerance, and minimal technical debt.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect high-level public and hybrid cloud infrastructure blueprints across public platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), defining secure multi-tenant global architectures.
- Design complex enterprise network topologies, configuring virtual private networks (VPCs/VNets), software-defined networks, global load balancing grids, and dedicated hybrid link architectures (Direct Connect/ExpressRoute).
- Establish automated, immutable landing zones, writing reusable, highly modular Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) libraries using Terraform or OpenTofu to enforce organizational policies across environments.
- Define platform high-availability and disaster recovery architectures, orchestrating multi-region replication layers, active-active failover schemes, and self-healing systems to hit zero-downtime service metrics.
- Govern identity, tenancy, and organizational access structures, mapping cross-account permissions, resource delegation boundaries, and Single Sign-On integrations alongside corporate security rules.
- Lead large-scale legacy to cloud migration strategies, driving discovery runs, mapping application dependencies, and orchestrating Greenfield or Brownfield cutover workflows.
- Chair Cloud Architecture Review Boards (ARB), evaluating custom application deployment impacts, infrastructure configurations, and platform resource dependencies to prevent environment drifts.
Requirements
- 8 to 12 years of core enterprise systems engineering experience, with at least 5+ dedicated years acting as a Lead Infrastructure Architect inside public cloud platforms.
- Expert-level technical mastery of Terraform/OpenTofu configurations, cloud-native networking services, compute virtualization matrices, and distributed storage systems.
- Deep structural understanding of software-defined perimeters, programmatic governor limitations, API-driven scaling mechanisms, and high-throughput application frameworks.
- Mandatory certification: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience implementing cloud environments in highly restricted fields complying with global regulatory guidelines (e.g., FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001).
- Familiarity with containerized runtime platform architectures (Kubernetes/EKS/AKS) or event-driven serverless system topologies.
