Enterprise Data & Cloud Architecture

As a Cloud and Data Architect, you will be responsible for leading architectural decisions for the Cloud and Data Enterprise Portfolios.

You must have a deep understanding of technical architecture and handson experience implementing solutions in cloud environments focused on AWS or Azure.

You should have a strong understanding of industry best practices around enterprise cloud security, reference architectures, containerization, CI/CD, and cloudnative design patterns.
Experience with microservices architectures, microservice orchestration, and MLOps platforms is a significant advantage.

The architect must have experience implementing secure technical and deployment architectures using AWS services, Domino Data Labs, as well as engineering tools that support inter-service communication, data hydration, application security, platform resiliency, model lifecycle management, and enterprise operational governance.
Technical experience across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) is a plus. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are required.
THE IMPACT YOU WILL MAKE
This role offers you the flexibility to make each day your own while working alongside teams who care, so you can deliver on these responsibilities:
Position yourself as a trusted advisor to business teams and partner with them to understand requirements for cloud implementations.
Provide recommendations for cloud migration and develop technical implementation roadmaps for AWS adoption.
Create application architecture, data architecture, deployment architectures, functional design specifications, and other technical deliverables.
Design modern, scalable, secure, and resilient solutions on AWS that meet requirements for availability, performance, and compliance.
Collaborate with Information Security, Compliance, Controls, and other teams to develop secure and compliant cloud solutions.
Qualifications
Education & Experience
Bachelor s degree in computer science or related field required, master s degree preferred.
