• Perform technical assessments and develop cloud management architectures and reference models
• Identify and apply security and compliance frameworks (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR, ISO27001, CIS)
• Ensure the security of the cloud environment by defining identity and access management policies (IAM)
• Build and manage container architectures with Kubernetes, EKS, Docker
• Develop automation solutions with Terraform, Ansible, or equivalent scripting tools
• Manage on‑premises and hybrid cloud data centers with automation and orchestration frameworks
• Use software lifecycle management tools such as Jira, Git, Jenkins, Bitbucket, and Confluence
• Collaborate with technical leaders and cross‑functional teams to deliver solution designs and technical roadmaps

What We Offer

• Opportunity to architect cutting‑edge cloud solutions for enterprise clients in diverse industries
• Hybrid work model with flexibility depending on business needs
• Career path toward Distinguished Engineer or Technical Leadership roles
• Access to advanced multi‑cloud training and certification programs (AWS, Azure, GCP)

• Ability to work effectively in customer‑facing delivery contexts.

Preferred Technical and Professional Experience

• Exposure to data, analytics, and AI/ML workloads on GCP (e.g. BigQuery, data pipelines), from a cloud infrastructure and delivery perspective.
• Exposure to multi‑cloud environments (AWS and/or Azure), in addition to GCP, within enterprise delivery contexts.
• Cloud certifications such as GCP Professional Cloud Architect (preferred), or AWS / Azure Professional Cloud Architect, as well as Kubernetes‑related certifications.
• Exposure to hybrid infrastructure environments (VMware, PowerVM, Hyper‑V).
• Experience collaborating within delivery teams, working closely with engineers and architects in hands‑on cloud delivery and customer‑facing projects.
