Cyber security architect

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.

• Multi-Cloud Mastery: Deep, hands-on production experience with at least two major cloud vendors (AWS and Azure are highly preferred). You know their native networking, identity systems, and edge security controls inside out.
  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).

DESIRED CERTIFICATIONS
While your hands-on experience matters most, we highly value the following credentials)
AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional / AWS Certified Security - Specialty
Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert / Azure Security Engineer Associate
CCSP (Certified Cloud Security Professional) or equivalent infrastructure-focused certifications
