Position Specific Description
This position will serve as a senior technologist responsible for driving architecture decisions, technical design direction, and cross-domain alignment required to deliver automated infrastructure provisioning for application deployments. This role works closely with implementation partners, architects, engineers, cybersecurity, operations, and application teams to ensure automation delivers secure, compliant, supportable, and application-ready infrastructure outcomes.
This role requires broad technical depth across cloud, servers, networking, security, identity, automation, and related infrastructure platforms. The architect defines reusable infrastructure patterns, validates technical designs, resolves cross-domain dependencies, and makes key architecture decisions as provisioning workflows move from strategy into production implementation.
Responsibilities
- Own architecture for automated provisioning of infrastructure resources across cloud, compute, networking, security, DNS/IPAM, IAM, ITSM/CMDB, monitoring, and operations.
- Direct design decisions with implementation partners to ensure solutions meet enterprise standards, operational requirements, and long-term ownership models.
- Define and enforce reusable infrastructure patterns, interfaces, controls, and operating requirements for application-ready infrastructure across domains.
- Identify, analyze, and eliminate technical dependencies, design gaps, and provisioning bottlenecks that result in manual tickets, handoffs, or delays.
- Make architecture decisions across Infrastructure as Code, orchestration, policy automation, integration, resiliency, observability, supportability, and lifecycle management.
- Validate that delivered automation capabilities are fully supportable, operable, and extensible by NextEra teams in production environments.
The Ideal Candidate Would Have The Following:
- 8+ years of progressive experience in infrastructure engineering, cloud architecture, platform engineering, or infrastructure automation, including at least 5+ years in a senior or principal architecture role.
- Proven track record leading enterprise-scale infrastructure architecture across cloud, compute/servers, networking, security, identity, and operations platforms in complex, multi-domain environments.
- Demonstrated experience designing and delivering Infrastructure as Code–driven provisioning systems (e.g., Terraform or equivalent), including automated workflows, orchestration, and policy-based controls.
- Experience serving as a lead architect or technical authority in cross-functional initiatives involving internal engineering teams and external system integrators or vendors.
- History of making final or near-final architecture decisions that balance security, operational readiness, scalability, standardization, and delivery speed in production environments.
- Demonstrated ability to define and enforce enterprise infrastructure standards, reusable patterns, and reference architectures adopted across multiple teams or domains.
- Strong communication and influence skills, with experience operating in environments requiring alignment across application development, infrastructure operations, cybersecurity, and platform engineering teams.
