## About the Role

* 5-10 years of experience in cloud architecture, enterprise IT or complex infrastructure consulting
 * In-depth, proven expertise in at least one hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - you've designed architectures, not just configured
 * Experience in designing and implementing cloud transformations on an enterprise scale
 * Solid understanding of cloud security, governance frameworks, and regulatory requirements (such as GDPR or NIS2)
 * Basic knowledge of FinOps: Cloud cost architecture, TCO modeling and cost optimization are part of your architecture decision
 * Experience in customer contact at CTO or enterprise architect level - you can represent and explain technical decisions
 * German C1 and English C1 - you confidently conduct architecture boards and customer presentations in both languages

Beneficial

 * Experience with GitOps, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Crossplane) and Kubernetes at platform level
 * Cloud-native security skills: Zero Trust, CSPM/CNAPP tooling, or Well-Architected Framework Reviews
 * Specialization in regulated sectors (e.g. public administration, KRITIS, financial services) or sovereign cloud architectures
 * Professional/expert level certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP, or CNCF) are an advantage but not a requirement

## Description

You don't write Terraform modules anymore-you decide what the entire platform that others write them on looks like. As a Senior Cloud Architect at T-Systems Austria, you are responsible for the technical design of business-critical cloud landscapes: landing zones, operating models, security architecture, and multi-cloud strategies for customers who place the highest demands on stability and security.
Your mission

 * Design and ownership of enterprise cloud architectures: landing zones, multi-cloud and hybrid environments
 * Overall technical responsibility for cloud migration projects - from workload assessment to production
 * represent and document architectural decisions in architecture boards and review committees
 * Close cooperation with pre-sales: Responsible for solution architecture for offers and RFP responses
 * Technical mentoring and architecture reviews for cloud engineers and consultants as a team
