Senior multi-cloud infrastructure and security Architect

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

1. Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Architecture Design
Architect and implement secure, enterprise-grade multi-cloud landmines-er, landing zones across AWS and Azure (Google Cloud Platform is a plus), ensuring strict alignment with CIS benchmarks and corporate security policies.
Design and deploy complex hybrid connectivity solutions (e.g., AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, SD-WAN, and high-throughput VPN meshes) to link our legacy on-premises data centers smoothly with cloud environments.
Establish scalable IAM hierarchies, cross-account trust relationships, and organizational units across multiple cloud tenants.

2. Infrastructure Resiliency & Disaster Recovery (DR)
Architect high-availability (HA) and disaster recovery topologies across disparate cloud providers to eliminate single points of failure (e.g., active-active cross-cloud replication).
Develop, document, and test automated failover mechanisms for critical enterprise workloads to ensure zero-downtime objectives.

3. Infrastructure as Code (laf) & Automation
Define, build, and maintain the company's master laG repository using Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation.
Implement secure CI/CD deployment pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, or GitHub Actions) embedded with automated security guardrails and static analysis tools.

4. Technical Advisory & Collaboration
Serve as the primary subject matter expert (SME) on cloud infrastructure for the core Cyber Security team, translating security objectives into concrete cloud configurations.
Collaborate with traditional on-prem network and sysadmin teams to systematically migrate or extend legacy workloads to the cloud without disrupting active operations.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
Enterprise Scale: Minimum 8+ years of experience managing, architecture-designing, and deploying IT infrastructure within a Fortune 500 or equivalent large-scale enterprise.

Networking Guru: Strong foundational background in traditional on-premises networking (firewalls, load balancers, VLANs, proxies) and how those concepts map directly to cloud-native constructs (VPCs, Nets, Transit Gateways).
Automation-First Mindset: Advanced proficiency with automation toolsets.
Pragmatic Security Knowledge: While you don't need to be a penetration tester, you must thoroughly understand cloud security frameworks (NIST, Cloud Security Alliance CCM) and modern identity protocols (SAML, OIDC, Auth, JIT access).
