Summary

Role: Cloud Architect (AWS & Azure )

Location: San Jose, CA - Onsite 5 days a week.

Job Description:

We are seeking a rare blend of deep technical expertise and executive-level communication: a battle-tested Senior Cloud Architect who is equally comfortable racking servers in a data center, writing production Terraform from scratch, and presenting multi-million-dollar cloud strategies to C-level executives and boards.

You will own the end-to-end technical vision while personally building and delivering production cloud infrastructure on both Azure and AWS, lead complex migrations from on-prem environments, and serve as the trusted technical advisor to senior leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Architect, hands-on build, and operationalize greenfield cloud environments on Azure and AWS (IaaS, PaaS, containers, serverless).
Lead large-scale on-premises to cloud migrations and hybrid/multi-cloud transformations.
Design and implement enterprise landing zones, governance, security, networking, and cost-optimization frameworks.
Translate complex technical solutions into clear, compelling presentations and recommendations for CXOs, and board members.
Regularly present architecture roadmaps, migration plans, risk assessments, TCO/ROI analysis, and progress updates to senior leadership and stakeholders.
Influence strategic decisions by articulating trade-offs, risks, and long-term implications of cloud and infrastructure choices.
Build trust as the go-to technical authority both in the weeds with engineers and in the boardroom with executives.
Mentor engineering teams while maintaining final accountability for solution quality and delivery.

Required Experience & Skills

8+ years in infrastructure engineering with strong on-premises data center roots (VMware, storage arrays, enterprise networking, physical deployments).
Expert-level hands-on experience in both Azure and AWS (minimum 5 years public cloud).
Proven ability to build production cloud environments from scratch not just manage inherited ones.
