Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, cybersecurity, information systems, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of progressive technology experience in architecture, engineering, cybersecurity, cloud transformation, or related consulting responsibilities.
• 7+ years of client-facing consulting or architecture experience leading complex technical discussions and delivering tailored solutions for mid-market or enterprise organizations.
• 5+ years of hands‑on cloud architecture experience designing and implementing production solutions in Azure, AWS, and/or Google Cloud.
• Demonstrated cybersecurity and compliance experience integrating technical controls and regulatory requirements into cloud architectures and implementation roadmaps.
• Strong architecture communication skills with the ability to explain risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to executives, security leaders, auditors, engineers, and business stakeholders.
• Working knowledge of architecture and security methods such as well‑architected frameworks, threat modeling, shared responsibility, Zero Trust, defense‑in‑depth, and secure‑by‑design principles.
• Ability to lead through ambiguity, manage competing requirements, drive decisions, and maintain delivery momentum across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Experience producing high‑quality technical documentation including reference architectures, diagrams, standards, decision records, and implementation guidance.

Aufgaben

• Lead client engagements from discovery through delivery, serving as the senior technical consultant and architecture authority.
• Facilitate executive briefings, workshops, and architecture sessions that translate business objectives, risk tolerance, and compliance obligations into actionable cloud strategies.
• Develop current-state and target-state architectures covering applications, infrastructure, identity, networking, security, data protection, observability, resilience, and operations.
• Design secure landing zones and cloud foundations using governance guardrails, account/subscription structures, policy enforcement, centralized logging, network segmentation, and identity-first access controls.
• Architect hybrid and multi-cloud solutions across Microsoft Azure, AWS, and/or Google Cloud, selecting services and patterns appropriate to client requirements and risk.
• Embed cybersecurity into architecture decisions using Zero Trust, least privilege, privileged access management, threat modeling, secure configuration, vulnerability management, encryption, and secrets management.
• Align solutions to compliance frameworks including CMMC, NIST SP 800‑171, NIST SP 800‑53, FedRAMP, and other client-specific regulatory or contractual requirements.
• Design for regulated workloads including controlled data boundaries, audit evidence, logging, data residency, secure administration, and separation of duties.
• Provide architecture oversight during implementation, reviewing detailed designs, infrastructure-as-code, configurations, security controls, and technical deliverables for quality and conformance.
• Partner with cybersecurity, compliance, engineering, and operations teams to resolve design tradeoffs and ensure solutions are operable, measurable, and audit-ready.
• Evaluate and rationalize cloud services balancing security, compliance, performance, availability, cost, supportability, and time to value.
• Develop roadmaps and migration strategies for application modernization, data migration, identity transformation, and cloud security uplift.
• Create client-ready architecture artifacts including diagrams, decision records, control mappings, implementation plans, risk registers, and executive recommendations.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of architects and engineers while contributing to technical reviews, estimation, solution quality, and continuous improvement.
• Support pre-sales and solution development by shaping scopes, assumptions, level-of-effort estimates, and technical approaches for complex opportunities.
