Job description

We are looking for an accomplished Technical Architect with 8+ years of experience in designing, implementing, and leading enterprise-grade cloud, DevOps, and infrastructure solutions. The ideal candidate will have a strong combination of technical architecture, hands-on engineering, automation, cloud transformation, application deployment, and technical leadership experience.

The candidate will be responsible for architecting highly available, scalable, secure, resilient, and cost-optimized platforms while driving automation, standardization, CI/CD adoption, containerization, observability, and continuous improvement across the organization.

The role requires a strong understanding of modern cloud-native architectures, coupled with the ability to work hands-on with engineering teams and provide technical direction across the complete application and infrastructure lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Architecture & AWS

• Design and implement enterprise-scale AWS architectures that are secure, highly available, scalable, resilient, and cost-effective.
• Define cloud architecture standards, reference architectures, design patterns, and infrastructure best practices.
• Provide hands‑on expertise across AWS services including:
  VPC, EC2, EFS, Auto Scaling, Elastic Load Balancer, IAM, CloudWatch, S3, Lifecycle Manager, SNS, Lambda, Secrets Manager, MSK, ElastiCache, ACM, DynamoDB, Security Hub, SES, S3 Glacier, Fault Injection Service, and RDS.
• Design solutions for high availability, disaster recovery, business continuity, scalability, performance, and fault tolerance.
• Perform architecture and infrastructure reviews to identify opportunities for performance improvement, security enhancement, automation, and cost optimization.

Infrastructure as Code & Platform Automation

• Architect and implement infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, following modular, reusable, version-controlled, and scalable IaC practices.
• Establish Terraform standards covering modules, remote state, environment isolation, governance, and lifecycle management.
• Automate infrastructure configuration, provisioning, patching, backup, and operational processes.
• Develop Ansible playbooks for OS configuration, patch management, application configuration, and recurring operational activities.
• Develop robust Shell scripts for infrastructure, application, database, and log-management automation.
• Reduce manual operational activities through automation and self-service infrastructure capabilities.

CI/CD & DevSecOps Architecture

• Design and implement enterprise-grade CI/CD and DevSecOps pipelines using Jenkins.
• Configure and manage Jenkins environments from the ground up, including distributed build and deployment architectures.
• Integrate SonarQube/SAST, security scanning, automated testing, artifact management, and quality gates into CI/CD pipelines.
• Manage artifact lifecycle and repositories using JFrog Artifactory.
• Establish standardized build, deployment, release, rollback, and promotion strategies across multiple environments.
• Troubleshoot complex pipeline, build, deployment, and integration issues and provide architectural solutions.
• Drive continuous improvement in deployment frequency, release reliability, security, and operational efficiency.

Kubernetes, Docker & Cloud-Native Platforms

• Architect and manage containerized and cloud-native application platforms using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Design Kubernetes environments with focus on scalability, availability, security, networking, resource optimization, and operational resilience.
• Develop and manage Helm charts for standardized application deployment and configuration.
• Define best practices for Kubernetes workloads, configuration management, secrets, ingress, scaling, health checks, and deployment strategies.
• Lead application modernization initiatives involving microservices, containerization, and Kubernetes adoption.

Application & Database Architecture

• Provide technical architecture and deployment expertise for microservices, Apache Tomcat, and Angular-based applications.
• Design application deployment strategies supporting scalability, reliability, security, and seamless releases.
• Architect and manage database platforms including MySQL, MongoDB, and YugabyteDB.
• Define database provisioning, backup, recovery, high availability, monitoring, and performance-management strategies.
• Automate database backup and maintenance activities.
• Work closely with development teams to resolve application, database, performance, and integration challenges.

Networking, Reverse Proxy & Traffic Management

• Design and manage application traffic and reverse-proxy solutions using NGINX and HAProxy.
• Configure load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, routing, health checks, and traffic-management policies.
• Troubleshoot complex networking, connectivity, routing, and application-access issues.
• Ensure secure and optimized communication between application, infrastructure, and cloud components.

Observability, Monitoring & Logging

• Design and implement enterprise monitoring and observability strategies using AWS CloudWatch, Dynatrace, and Nagios.
• Establish infrastructure, application, service, and availability monitoring with effective alerting and escalation mechanisms.
• Implement centralized logging and log analytics using Graylog and ELK Stack.
• Develop dashboards and operational metrics to provide visibility into system health, performance, capacity, and availability.
• Define proactive monitoring and alerting strategies to minimize service disruption and improve MTTR.

Environment, Release & Infrastructure Management

• Architect and manage Development, QA, UAT, Pre-Production, and Production environments.
• Define environment-specific infrastructure standards, sizing, capacity, security, and deployment strategies.
• Design infrastructure and instance strategies to support different application releases and workloads.
• Ensure consistency across environments through automation and Infrastructure as Code.
• Establish and maintain standards for backup, disaster recovery, patch management, security, monitoring, and operational readiness.

Technical Leadership

• Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance to DevOps, Cloud, Development, QA, and IT teams.
• Translate business and application requirements into scalable and maintainable technical architectures.
• Lead architecture discussions, solution design, technology evaluations, proof-of-concepts, and technical reviews.
• Act as the senior technical escalation point for critical infrastructure, deployment, and production issues.
• Mentor engineers and establish engineering standards, best practices, and operational processes.
• Collaborate with application and business stakeholders to ensure solutions align with business objectives.
• Drive initiatives focused on automation, reliability, scalability, security, performance, and cost optimization.
