Partner with enterprise and solution architects to establish canonical data models, data contracts, and metadata management frameworks aligned to business capabilities.
Design data movement, lineage, and governance patterns supporting both analytical and operational workloads.
Modernization, Observability & Technical Leadership
Lead or support migration and modernization initiatives from on-prem to cloud (rehost, re-platform, refactor) including assessment, roadmaps, and solution designs.
Define observability strategy (logging, metrics, tracing, SLOs) and resilience patterns (auto scaling, failover, DR, backup/restore).
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers, SREs, and developers; evangelize best practices in cloud native and platform engineering.
REQUIREMENTS
8–12+ years in software engineering, infrastructure, or DevOps, including 3–5+ years in cloud architecture.
Deep hands-on expertise with AWS or Azure and strong knowledge of core cloud services (compute, storage, networking, IAM, security).
Experience designing and building cloud‑native and distributed systems (microservices, containers, serverless).
Proven ability to architect and operate containerized workloads with appropriate networking, security, and observability.
Advanced proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM/Bicep, CloudFormation, Pulumi) and CI/CD automation.
Strong understanding of API design, event-driven architecture, and cloud integration patterns.
Knowledge of modern data platforms (Databricks, data lakes/warehouses, streaming, ETL/ELT) and data modeling.
Strong grasp of cloud security, compliance, and risk management (least privilege, zero trust, encryption, regulatory requirements).
Excellent communication, documentation, and stakeholder engagement skills.
Self-driven, collaborative, and experienced in mentoring and promoting engineering best practices.
PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS
Experience designing internal developer platforms or platform engineering offerings (self-service environments, golden paths, platform APIs).
Background in SRE practices (SLOs, error budgets, incident management) and building highly available, resilient systems.
Certifications from major cloud providers (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Professional Cloud Architect).
Experience in multi-cloud or hybrid cloud architectures and connectivity with on-premise environments.
