Job description

About the Job

Covenant is seeking a high-caliber, hands-on Cloud Solution Architect to lead the design, implementation, and optimization of enterprise-grade cloud environments. Unlike advisory roles, this is a "builder" position. You will be responsible for architecting highly available, secure, and geo-redundant solutions across a sophisticated multi-cloud fabric (Azure, AWS, and Oracle OCI). You will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and production-ready implementation.

Core Responsibilities & Technical Depth

• Multi-Cloud Governance: Design and implement landing zones, identity frameworks (Entra ID, AWS IAM, OCI IAM), and hierarchical resource structures across all three major providers.
• Hybrid Connectivity: Architect and deploy secure, high-speed interconnects using ExpressRoute, Direct Connect, and FastConnect, ensuring Zero Trust segmentation.
• Modern Compute & Containers: Provision and manage enterprise Kubernetes clusters (AKS, EKS, OKE), including node pool optimization, ingress controllers, and lifecycle upgrades.
• Resilience & DR: Lead the design of HA/DR patterns, validating RTO/RPO objectives through rigorous failover testing and automated replication workflows.
• Automation-First Delivery: Drive deployments using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation) and integrated CI/CD pipelines.
• Operational Readiness: Support the transition to production with detailed HLD/LLD documentation, Method of Procedure (MoP) guides, and centralized monitoring/alerting dashboards.

The Opportunity

• Hands-on Leadership: Maintain your technical edge by actively executing deployment activities while steering the architectural vision.
• Diverse Ecosystem: Work at the intersection of three global clouds, managing high-performance workloads and Oracle Alloy environments.
• Strategic Impact: Play a lead role in the digital transformation of major UAE infrastructures, building the AI-ready foundations of tomorrow.
