The Role
As a Cloud Engineering Architect, you will play a pivotal role in designing, building, and optimizing scalable cloud-native infrastructure and services across enterprise environments. This role emphasizes cloud solution engineering, platform governance, automation, and performance optimization to enable secure, resilient, and cost-effective cloud operations. You will collaborate with engineering, security, DevOps, and application development teams to deliver robust cloud architectures tailored to business needs.

Responsibilities include:

Cloud Architecture & Solution Design
• Design and document highly available, secure, and performant cloud-native architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Define engineering standards and reusable patterns for compute, networking, storage, and platform services (e.g., containers, serverless, messaging, databases).
• Integrate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, ARM templates, or CloudFormation to build repeatable deployments.

Platform Engineering & Automation
• Lead the implementation of CI/CD pipelines and automated infrastructure deployments.
• Engineer resilient, auto-scaling solutions using cloud-native tools (e.g., AWS ECS/Fargate, Azure Kubernetes Service, Google Cloud Run).
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability frameworks (e.g., CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, GCP Operations Suite).
Cloud Governance, Security & Compliance
• Enforce cloud governance policies for tagging, resource usage, budget thresholds, and identity management.
• Architect secure environments using IAM, encryption, key management, and network security controls.
• Support regulatory and compliance requirements (HIPAA, FedRAMP, ISO 27001) through secure design patterns and audit readiness.

Performance Engineering & Cost Optimization
• Continuously evaluate performance and cost efficiency of deployed cloud resources.
• Optimize workloads using rightsizing, reserved instances, and modern architectural strategies (e.g., event-driven, microservices).
• Conduct architecture reviews and well-architected assessments to recommend improvements.

Cloud Operations & Reliability
• Support SRE principles by embedding resilience, fault-tolerance, and operational visibility in all solutions.
• Collaborate with DevOps and infrastructure teams to implement monitoring, logging, and alerting at scale.
• Troubleshoot systemic issues in cloud environments and drive root cause resolution.

Stakeholder Engagement & Enablement
• Collaborate with business and technology leaders to translate requirements into actionable engineering solutions.
• Guide and mentor engineering and development teams on cloud-native best practices.
• Contribute to knowledge sharing sessions, documentation, and internal communities of practice.

Required Skills and Professional Experience

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience and/or military experience
• 5+ years of experience in IT with at least 3+ years in cloud engineering or cloud architecture roles
• Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure (IaaS/PaaS), virtualization, and cloud-native services
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP and associated certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Architect Expert)
• Proficiency in Terraform, CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), and scripting languages (Python, Bash)
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, containers, service meshes, and cloud networking
• Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and troubleshooting skills
• Excellent communication and documentation skills

Preferred Skills and Professional Experience

• 5+ years in technology consulting or enterprise cloud engineering environments
• Experience implementing cloud governance frameworks and security controls
• Knowledge of hybrid and multicloud strategies and tooling
• Experience with agile methodologies and DevSecOps culture
• Passion for emerging technologies (e.g., AI/ML,
