This role combines hands-on architecture with strategic planning and technical mentorship. You will report to the Head of Software Engineering and be an integral part of our Technology division. This is a hybrid role, requiring two days a week in the office.

In this role, you will:

• Design, implement, and evolve cloud architecture strategies that support business and technical objectives.
• Collaborate with DevOps and engineering teams to ensure seamless integration between application development and infrastructure.
• Define cloud infrastructure standards, patterns, and best practices for security, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
• Partner with software and data architects to design cloud environments that support high-throughput APIs, data pipelines, and analytical workloads.
• Select appropriate cloud services and technologies to meet solution requirements.
• Lead architecture reviews and provide hands-on guidance during design, development, and deployment phases.
• Drive cloud governance initiatives, including compliance, and risk management.
• Evaluate new technologies and provide recommendations for adoption in alignment with business needs.
• Act as a technical mentor and thought leader across engineering and DevOps teams.
• Carry out standard engineering duties within the DevOps infrastructure.

You Offer

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in cloud architecture, infrastructure, or software engineering roles, including enterprise-scale solution design and delivery.
• Proven success in leading cloud transformation initiatives and delivering secure, scalable cloud-native platforms.
• Cloud Platforms: Advanced expertise in AWS and Microsoft Azure, including architecture, service selection, deployment strategies, and cost optimization.
• Containerization & Orchestration: Deep knowledge of Kubernetes, including production use of Amazon EKS and Azure AKS.
• Serverless & Microservices: Experience designing and implementing serverless applications (e.g., AWS Lambda, Azure Functions) and distributed microservice architectures and best practices.
• CI/CD & DevOps: Strong background in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, complemented by hands-on DevOps and SRE experience over the past five years. Skilled in GitOps practices and integrating DevSecOps principles to enhance automation, security, and system reliability.
• Infrastructure as Code: Proficient in Terraform, CloudFormation, and scripting (e.g., Bash, Python) for infrastructure automation.
• Databases: Hands-on experience with Snowflake, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Amazon RDS within cloud-native data ecosystems.
• Networking & Security: Capable of designing secure, compliant cloud networks, including VPC architecture, DNS, load balancers, and firewall policies.
• Software development: Understanding of Java, Spring Boot, Node.js and TypeScript, with familiarity in integrating frontend services with APIs.
• Machine Learning Support: Working knowledge of Python in ML contexts, with the ability to design infrastructure that supports model training and deployment.
• Scripting & Automation: Comfortable with Bash and Python for general-purpose scripting for operational automation.
• Awareness of AI/ML architecture patterns and how to support them in a scalable, secure cloud environment.
• Interest in emerging technologies such as generative AI, MLOps, or data science infrastructure is a strong plus.
• Experienced in Agile development environments, with tools like Jira, Confluence, and an understanding of SAFe or similar scaling frameworks.
