E-portal is actively recruiting for the role of Senior Presales Multi-Cloud Solutions Architect. In this role, you will be the lead client-facing architect for complex multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and cloud-modernization opportunities. You will be responsible for owning the end-to-end technical sales cycle from discovery to proposal and handover, ensuring that every proposed solution is commercially credible, delivery-ready, secure by design, and aligned to customer business outcomes rather than only to infrastructure features.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Lead discovery workshops with CIOs, CTOs, infrastructure teams, security teams, and business sponsors to define business outcomes, regulatory constraints, latency requirements, resilience targets, data residency needs, and workload placement rules.
• Design hybrid and multi-cloud target architectures covering landing zones, identity, connectivity, network topology, observability, backup, disaster recovery, governance, and cost management.
• Build migration and modernisation roadmaps for legacy applications, databases, virtualised estates, and containerised platforms.
• Lead technical bid responses, reference architectures, architecture review boards, solution walkthroughs, and proof-of-concept or pilot planning.
• Work closely with sales, alliances, delivery, and vendor teams to build accurate BoQ, licensing assumptions, services scope, migration effort estimates, and transition plans.
• Ensure every won opportunity has a high-quality handover package including assumptions, dependencies, risks, integration points, security requirements, and acceptance criteria.

Qualifications

To be considered for this role, you must meet the below minimum criteria:

• A minimum of 11 years' experience in multi-cloud architecture, cloud migration, platform engineering, or enterprise infrastructure modernization, with at least several years in customer-facing presales or consulting roles.
• Strong experience in regulated or mission-critical sectors in Kuwait or the GCC is preferred.
• Must have at least one of these certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional, Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Cloud Professional Cloud Architect, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Architect Professional, and Red Hat Certified Architect in OpenShift.
• A master's degree is a plus. Majors required include: cloud computing, enterprise architecture, business information systems, or technology management.
