Senior Solutions Architect

Cloud Architect will interact with clients, product managers and development team to envision, model solutions for the customers to adopt cloud platform with a strong experience in Cloud Infrastructures. This role is a key member of the solutions team responsible for creating awareness about the hybrid, multi-

cloud, work along with clients to help them redesign their applications for migration to cloud. The architect is also expected to have hands-on work in evaluating the existing and new technology. This role includes working collaboratively with onshore and offshore teams and with a degree of humility

and mentoring staff as required.

As a Cloud Architect, you will be responsible for:

1. Multi-Cloud Solution Design

- Assess cloud requirements, including scalability, reliability, performance, cost, security, and compliance, to develop the optimal multi-cloud strategy.

- Design and establish the multi-cloud landing zone by selecting the appropriate cloud platforms, services, and technologies to meet business needs.

- Ensure the cloud architecture is scalable, resilient, and adaptable to support future growth and evolving business requirements.

- Create reference architectures, design patterns, and best practices for deploying cloud-native applications across multiple cloud platforms.

2. Cloud Platform Integration and Interoperability

- Develop and implement robust integration mechanisms to facilitate seamless data exchange, application portability, and unified management across various cloud platforms.

- Implement cross-cloud identity and access management (IAM) solutions

to ensure secure and consistent user access throughout the multi-cloud environment.

- Build and maintain a comprehensive cloud monitoring and observability framework, offering insights into performance, cost, and the overall health of the multi-cloud infrastructure.

- Ensure adherence to industry regulations and organizational policies by enforcing consistent security controls and governance practices across the multi-cloud environment.

3. Multi-Cloud Optimization

- Continuously monitor and analyze cloud resource utilization, performance, and cost, recommending optimization strategies to enhance efficiency and reduce expenses.

- Implement and manage automated cloud management and orchestration tools to streamline provisioning, scaling, and optimization of cloud resources.

- Work closely with the Cloud Automation Engineer to develop and maintain automated workflows that span multiple cloud platforms.

4. Alignment and Collaboration

- Act as the primary liaison between the cloud team and other cross-

functional departments, including IT, application development, and business stakeholders.

- Ensure cloud team activities and deliverables are aligned with overall business objectives and IT strategy.
