Job description

We are an independent, senior-level multi-cloud services company helping enterprises and growing tech driven businesses build scalable cloud foundations for long‑term growth. We work at the point where strategy meets execution – turning cloud, platform engineering and Infrastructure as Code into real business leverage, not slideware.

We don’t treat digital transformation as a buzzword. For us it’s day‑to‑day engineering work: designing resilient architectures, automating infrastructure with Terraform and policy‑as‑code, reducing operational risk, and enabling teams to move faster without losing control. We actively help our clients modernize how they build, deploy and operate technology – especially where complexity, scale and regulatory pressure collide.

Our approach is simple and demanding at the same time: we look at the client’s challenges from their perspective, build partnerships based on mutual value, and focus on measurable outcomes – efficiency, predictability, cost awareness and long‑term maintainability of platforms.

Semantive is a 40+ people team of highly senior engineers and consultants. No junior factory, no body‑leasing mindset. We specialize in cloud platforms, DevOps, IaC and data‑driven systems, working closely with our clients on complex transformation initiatives. We value long‑term relationships, ownership and transparency, and we give our people real influence on how the company, our services and our technical direction evolve.

Our mission is to support customers at various stages of their digital transformation, from data centers infrastructure automation, initial migration and cloud‑native modernization to building platforms and scaling Infrastructure as Code processes for multiple development teams.

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Architect eager to join us on this mission.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead and guide teams of engineers delivering cloud and Infrastructure as Code solutions for enterprise customers
• Own technical direction and delivery for assigned customer engagements, ensuring high quality and consistency of solutions
• Design secure, scalable and reliable cloud architectures aligned with customer business and technology goals
• Assess existing on‑prem and cloud platforms and define target‑state architectures and modernization strategies
• Work with customers to advance their Infrastructure as Code maturity through Spacelift adoption and related tools, practices and delivery models
• Act as a trusted technical leader and advisor in customer engagements across Cloud, DevOps and SRE domains
• Participate in customer‑facing consulting and pre‑sales activities, including technical discovery, solution shaping and architecture reviews
• Provide day‑to‑day technical leadership, mentoring and guidance to engineers across teams
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business and technical requirements into clear, actionable architectural decisions
• Ensure best practices, architectural consistency and technical excellence across delivered solutions

Experience, Knowledge and Skills:

• 10+ years of professional experience, including significant time in Lead Cloud Architect, Tech Lead or similar leadership roles
• Proven experience leading engineering teams and owning technical delivery in customer‑facing consulting environments
• Strong track record in designing target‑state architectures and driving on‑prem to cloud migration initiatives
• Deep hands‑on expertise in AWS; Azure experience is a strong plus
• Extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform and configuration management tools such as Ansible
• Practical experience with IaC platforms and scaling solutions such as Spacelift, Terraform Enterprise or Terraform Cloud
• Solid background in designing cloud‑native, resilient and scalable solutions for large enterprise IT environments
• Experience with HashiCorp Vault and modern secrets management approaches
• Good working knowledge of container platforms and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Must‑have: experience working directly with customers in consulting and/or pre‑sales contexts
• Strong leadership, communication and mentoring skills, with the ability to guide engineers and influence technical direction
• Ability to engage effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Professional or expert‑level cloud architecture certification
• Native‑level Polish and fluent English communication skills
• Fully remote working model
• Employee referral program
