JOB DESCRIPTION

Cloud Infrastructure Architect – Multi-Cloud (AWS | Azure | GCP)

Role Description

Architecture Design & Strategy

Design and implement highly available, scalable, and secure architectures across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for complex enterprise applications.
Create architecture blueprints, reference architectures, and technical documentation aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework, Azure Architecture Framework, and GCP Architecture Framework.
Evaluate and recommend cloud-native services across providers — including AWS (EC2, Lambda, RDS, S3, ECS, EKS), Azure (VMs, Azure Functions, AKS, Cosmos DB, Blob Storage), and GCP (Compute Engine, Cloud Run, GKE, BigQuery, Cloud SQL) — to optimize performance, cost, and scalability.
Develop and maintain cloud-agnostic and cloud-native design patterns to support multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies.

Solutioning

Lead end-to-end implementation of cloud solutions across AWS, Azure, and GCP, from proof-of-concept to production deployment.
Configure and manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Azure Bicep/ARM Templates, and GCP Deployment Manager / Pulumi.
Lead and contribute to RFP/RFI/RFQ responses, including multi-cloud solution design, effort estimation, and proposal documentation.
Develop solution architectures, pitch documentation, and value propositions aligned with customer requirements and business outcomes across cloud platforms.
Participate in client workshops, solution demos, and technical due diligence discussions covering multi-cloud scenarios.

Cloud Migration & Modernization

Plan and execute large-scale migrations from on-premises or legacy systems to AWS, Azure, or GCP, ensuring minimal downtime and risk.
Refactor and modernize applications for cloud-native environments leveraging managed services: AWS Aurora/DynamoDB/Redshift, Azure SQL/Cosmos DB/Synapse, and GCP Cloud SQL/Spanner/BigQuery.
Optimize workloads for cost, performance, and scalability using AWS Cost Explorer & Trusted Advisor, Azure Cost Management, and GCP Cost Management & Recommender.
Architect and implement multi-cloud and hybrid connectivity strategies using AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, and Google Cloud Interconnect.

Security & Compliance

Design secure, compliant architectures with a focus on identity management (AWS IAM, Azure Active Directory / Entra ID, GCP IAM), encryption (KMS across providers), network security (VPCs, NSGs, VNet), and standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC.
Implement monitoring and logging using AWS CloudWatch/CloudTrail, Azure Monitor/Sentinel, and GCP Cloud Logging/Security Command Center, along with third-party SIEM tools.
Define and enforce cloud security baselines, policy guardrails, and governance frameworks across all cloud environments.

DevOps & Automation

Drive DevOps practices by integrating CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline, Azure DevOps, GCP Cloud Build, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions.
Automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and deployment processes using Terraform, Ansible, and cloud-native tools to improve efficiency and reduce manual intervention.
Promote best practices for container orchestration (EKS, AKS, GKE) and serverless workflows (Lambda, Azure Functions, Cloud Run/Cloud Functions).

Leadership & Collaboration

Present architectural proposals and multi-cloud solutions to C-level executives and technical teams.
Collaborate with sales, delivery, and practice teams to drive end-to-end solution lifecycle from proposal to execution across cloud platforms.
Engage with customers during bid defense, proposal walkthroughs, and executive presentations covering multi-cloud architectures.

Performance Optimization & Troubleshooting

Troubleshoot complex issues related to scalability, latency, and reliability across multi-cloud production environments.
Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for incidents and implement preventive measures using platform-native observability tools.

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

Contribute to thought leadership through whitepapers, blogs, or presentations on multi-cloud architecture and strategy.
Contribute to building and scaling Intelligent Infrastructure Services (AIOps, automation-first operations) & Managed Services across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Define standards, reusable frameworks, accelerators, and best practices across CoE initiatives for multi-cloud environments.
