• Translate business needs into scalable, secure, and future-proof technical solutions
• Define and implement landing zones and reusable architectural patterns
• Advise on platform choices, cost optimization, risk, and time-to-market

• Knowledge of security and compliance (IAM, data residency, sovereignty)
• Experience with cost optimization and FinOps principles

Profile:

• Self-starter who proactively drives technical initiatives
• Strong ownership of customer onboarding and architectural outcomes
• Strategic thinker with the ability to translate vision into execution
• Hands-on mindset (not a “PowerPoint architect”)
