Description & RequirementsAbout the RoleIn this role, you will report to the Manager - Cloud Operations. As a Cloud Engineer, you will lead operations, architecture and engineering across multiple cloud providers (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform), defining and operating secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud platforms and reference architectures for the Corporate division. You will partner closely with infrastructure and development teams to accelerate delivery through AI-enabled capabilities and automation, while ensuring strong GRCSP (governance, risk, compliance, security, and privacy) by design.
Your TeamYou will be part of a global team distributed across India, USA, Mexico, and Europe - providing 24/7 cloud services.
What You Will Do- Own and evolve multi-cloud operations and collaborate in architecture (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform), including target-state designs, reference architectures, and platform standards.
- Drive cloud engineering decisions across providers: landing zones, networking, identity, compute, storage, observability, resiliency, and service catalog patterns.
- Collaborate with other Cloud Operations team members to handle deploying and managing cloud resources in a multi-cloud environment.
- Act as a business liaison for cloud: translate business objectives into technical roadmaps, and align stakeholders across infrastructure, application development, and security teams.
- Enable AI and modern platform capabilities (e.g., data/AI services, MLOps patterns, secure access to foundation models) in collaboration with product and engineering teams.
- Lead automation strategy and implementation for Cloud Operations using Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD (e.g., Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep), policy-as-code, and self-service workflows.
- Design and enforce GRCSP guardrails: governance frameworks, risk management, compliance requirements, security baselines, and privacy controls across all cloud platforms.
- Establish cloud security architecture patterns (identity, encryption, network segmentation, secrets management) and partner with SOC/GRC teams to remediate findings.
- Collaborate in architecture reviews for new initiatives and major changes; ensure designs meet non-functional requirements (availability, performance, security, compliance, operability, and cost).
- Drive cost management and FinOps practices: tagging/chargeback models, unit economics, rightsizing, commitment programs, and architectural tradeoffs.
- Partner with IT Operations on reliability and incident learnings (post-incident reviews, problem management), driving platform improvements and preventive controls.
- Create and maintain cloud standards, blueprints, and documentation; provide guidance, workshops, and coaching to engineering teams to accelerate adoption.
- Collaborate in defining and tracking a cloud architecture roadmap and key outcomes (security posture, compliance adherence, automation coverage, platform reliability, and cost efficiency) across the Corporate division.
- Evaluate cloud services, security tooling, and automation platforms; make recommendations and guide implementation with a focus on standardization and reuse.
- Build and report cloud posture metrics (GRCSP controls, audit readiness, security remediation progress, cost optimization, and automation maturity) to support decision-making.
- Collaborate with a diverse, globally distributed team and communicate architecture decisions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
What You Need- Master's degree or Bachelors degree with relevant experience in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field
- 7+ years of experience in cloud engineering and architecture, with proven delivery on at least two major cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform).
- Strong knowledge of cloud and platform architecture fundamentals: networking, DNS, load balancing, identity and access management, compute/container platforms, storage, and resilience patterns.
- Hands-on experience designing for GRCSP: governance and policy controls, risk management, security architecture, privacy-by-design, and audit/compliance readiness in cloud environments.
- Proficiency with AI integration with automation and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep) and CI/CD practices; scripting skills (PowerShell, Python, or similar) preferred.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to bridge business needs and technical execution across infrastructure, development, and security teams.
