Contract Type: Permanent | Hours: Full-time | Security Clearance: Not required (beneficial)

🌍 About Cintra
Cintra is a global, award-winning multi-cloud integrator and managed services provider, helping enterprises migrate and modernize their most critical workloads across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud. With offices in the UK, New York, and India, we partner with organizations worldwide to deliver secure, scalable, and innovative cloud solutions.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced Cloud Architect to join our UK-based delivery team. This hands-on role blends technical depth, solution design, and customer engagement. You’ll lead complex cloud projects, guide customers on best practices, and help shape Cintra’s growing multi-cloud delivery capability.

What You’ll Do

• Design & Deliver: Architect and implement solutions across AWS and OCI (Azure or GCP experience is a plus).
• Migrate & Modernize: Assess legacy environments and lead migration and modernization projects.
• Lead Projects: Serve as the technical SME and mentor for delivery teams.
• Advise Clients: Engage directly with customers and partners as a trusted cloud advisor.
• Automate & Optimize: Build infrastructure as code using Terraform, Ansible, and scripting languages (Python, Shell, PowerShell).
• Collaborate: Work closely with project managers to ensure successful, on-time, and on-budget delivery.

What You Bring

• 6+ years in cloud architecture (AWS and/or OCI), 10+ years in infrastructure.
• Strong knowledge of IaaS, PaaS, networking, and security principles.
• Hands-on experience designing cloud landing zones, managing virtual networks, firewalls, and storage.
• Proficiency in Linux and Windows environments, plus automation experience using Terraform, Ansible, or similar.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills — able to simplify complex cloud concepts for both technical and executive audiences.
• Certifications in AWS, OCI, or Azure are a plus but not essential — real-world expertise matters most.

Bonus Skills

• Experience with databases (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL).
• Awareness of middleware (Tomcat, JBoss) or Oracle engineered systems (Exadata, ODA, ZFS).
• Portuguese or Spanish language skills.

Why Cintra?
