Job description

As the Cloud & Infra Solution Architect, you are the technical authority and the “Brain” of our technology direction. You don’t just design infrastructure; you design a secure, resilient, and scalable ecosystem where code meets cloud. You are responsible for ensuring our product platform is built on a high-performance, cloud-native foundation with security embedded by design. By mastering the intersection of DevOps, CI/CD automation, infrastructure security and application architecture, you ensure our product factories can deploy secure, scalable banking solutions at high velocity while maintaining strong cyber resilience and regulatory alignment.

How You’ll Make a Difference

Architectural Engineering: Research, evaluate, and test cloud-native technologies to design the future direction of the product platform with security, scalability, and resilience built into the architecture.

DevOps & CI/CD Design: Architect secure end-to-end automation pipeline (CI/CD) and DevOps standards and deployment standards that all product teams must follow.

Security-by-Design: Embed cybersecurity controls including IAM, secrets management, encryption, vulnerability management, container security, and policy enforcement across the platform lifecycle.

App-to-Infra Alignment: Collaborate with developers to ensure Java-based applications are optimized and secured for containerized environments (Kubernetes/Docker).

Hybrid Modernization: Design secure integration between modern cloud-native stacks and legacy on-prem core banking systems while ensuring network segmentation, data protection, and regulatory compliance.

Platform Resilience & Compliance: Ensure platform architecture supports high availability, disaster recovery, observability, auditability, and compliance with banking and security standards.

Practical Validation: Conduct deep-dive testing, security reviews and "proof of concept" (PoC) work to ensure all architectural ideas are realistic, secure, and suitable for long-term growth.

What You’ll Bring

Deep Technical Leadership: Extensive experience in architectural thinking coupled with a "builder" mindset. You can code the PoC for the architecture you design.

Application & Security Savvy: Strong understanding of Java/J2EE application frameworks, secure coding principles and application behavior in distributed, high-availability environments.

DevOps Expertise: Proven track record in designing automated deployment workflows, integrating security scanning into CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration strategy.

Cloud Security Knowledge: Strong knowledge of cloud security architecture, zero-trust principles, identity and access management (IAM), encryption, and workload protection

Hybrid Knowledge: Mastery of both public cloud (Huawei, AWS, Azure) and on-prem hardware constraints (Storage, Network, Virtualization).

Risk & Governance Awareness: Experience aligning architecture decisions with enterprise security policies, regulatory requirements, and operational risk management.

Open & willing to travel locally and overseas as required to support business needs.

Programming & Frameworks: Solid understanding of Java, secure application server configurations, API security, application server configurations, and microservices architecture.

DevOps Ecosystem: Expert knowledge in designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines with integrated security tooling (SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning), Jenkins, GitHub, and Jira integration.

Container & Platform Security: Hands‑on mastery of Kubernetes (K8s), Docker, container networking, runtime security, image hardening, and Kubernetes security best practices

Identity & Access Management: Knowledge of RBAC, PAM, MFA, secrets management, certificate management, and privileged access controls.

Orchestration: Hands‑on mastery of Kubernetes (K8s), Docker, and container networking/security.

Cloud Platforms: Architectural proficiency across Huawei Cloud, AWS, and Azure.

Observability: Knowledge of designing monitoring and logging frameworks (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, ELK) to support platform reliability.

Infrastructure Security: Strong understanding of network security, firewalls, segmentation, WAF, endpoint protection, vulnerability management, and disaster recovery architecture.

Compliance & Standards: Familiarity with banking and security standards such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, and regulatory security requirements.
