Architect Lead – DevOps & Solutions Architecture
Location: Mumbai (Onsite) | Full-time
About Us
At Network Science, we’re building the Operating System for the Enterprise AI World — a platform-first approach to scale AI adoption across global enterprises. Our cloud-based SaaS platforms power real-world AI deployments across sectors like finance, retail, manufacturing, and sustainability.
We are now looking for an Architect Lead (DevOps & Solutions Architecture) to take full ownership of the technical foundation of our AI products — from infrastructure and security to scalability and reliability. This is a mission-critical leadership role at the heart of everything we’re building.
What You’ll Do
- Own the end-to-end architecture of our cloud-based SaaS platform and lead the evolution of its infrastructure with scalability, performance, and security at the core.
- Be hands-on with AWS, automating infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code, ensuring high availability, and optimizing cloud usage and costs.
- Build and manage CI/CD pipelines, implement best practices for automated testing, versioning, and secure delivery workflows.
- Partner with engineering, product, and design teams to translate product goals into robust, maintainable, and secure system designs.
- Lead and implement our security strategy, ensuring compliance with industry standards (SOC2, GDPR, etc.).
- Set up monitoring, alerting, and disaster recovery plans that ensure platform reliability and business continuity.
- Mentor engineers on architecture, DevOps, and modern development workflows; help instill a culture of automation, ownership, and quality.
- Continuously evaluate new tools, technologies, and frameworks to ensure we stay ahead of the curve.
Must-Have Skills
- 7+ years of experience in cloud architecture, DevOps, and SaaS infrastructure — with hands-on AWS experience.
- Strong command over containerization tools: Docker and Kubernetes.
- Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
- Solid experience in setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and release workflows.
- Strong understanding of cloud networking, VPC design, IAM, and core security practices.
- Prior experience implementing monitoring, alerting, disaster recovery, and backup strategies.
- Demonstrated ability to make sound architectural decisions under time and scale constraints.
- Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
- Willingness to work onsite and collaborate closely across product and engineering teams.
Good-to-Have Skills
- Experience with cost optimization in AWS
- Familiarity with SOC2, ISO 27001, or GDPR compliance frameworks
- Exposure to multi-cloud or hybrid cloud architectures
- Knowledge of serverless design patterns (e.g., AWS Lambda, Fargate)
- Experience with observability platforms (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, New Relic)
- Familiarity with incident management and SRE practices
- Prior experience in startups or fast-paced product environments
- Ability to contribute to strategic build-vs-buy decisions
