• Experience leading cross‑functional teams, providing technical mentorship, conducting architecture reviews, and guiding technical decision‑making.
• Proven ability to conduct cloud assessments, define cloud transformation roadmaps, and create reference architectures.
• Capability to lead evaluations of emerging tools and technologies, drive proofs of concept, and recommend enterprise‑ready cloud solutions.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills—able to bridge business, engineering, and executive stakeholders.

• 10–14+ years of industry experience, with substantial hands‑on cloud engineering/development background or architecture roles.
