This role is responsible for the design, governance, and evolution of enterprise cloud platforms across Azure and AWS, with a strong emphasis on Infrastructure as Code (IaC), standardized architecture patterns, and operational excellence. This position operates with significant autonomy and authority on complex assignments and leads enterprise initiatives focused on modernizing infrastructure, enforcing governance, and enabling consistent, policy-driven cloud delivery. The role partners across engineering, operations, cybersecurity, and business teams to deliver resilient, cost-effective, and scalable cloud solutions. Core responsibilities and deliverables : * Design, govern, and evolve enterprise cloud platforms and foundational services, including cloud networking, identity, and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform), leveraging version-controlled CI/CD pipelines and automation to deliver secure, scalable, and standardized cloud solutions. * Develop, maintain, and enforce enterprise cloud architecture roadmaps, standards, and governance frameworks that modernize legacy infrastructure into automated, scalable cloud-native environments while ensuring consistency, compliance, cost transparency, and operational efficiency. * Architect and oversee enterprise cloud platform services, including landing zones, subscription/account structures, identity and access management, DNS, and hybrid connectivity. * Partner with peer architects and technology leaders to ensure alignment across enterprise architecture domains and shared platform capabilities, while partnering to design and govern cloud networking architectures (including hub-and-spoke topology, transit networks, routing strategies, VPN connectivity, and firewall integration) across multiple regions. * Collaborate with engineering and application teams to define and review cloud solution architectures, ensuring alignment with enterprise standards, scalability requirements, and security policies. Work with 3rd party vendors and the Managed Services team to develop and implement technology-enabled roadmaps. * Identify, analyze, and recommend cloud technologies and platform capabilities based on business requirements, scalability needs, and cost considerations. * Establish and drive operational excellence practices, including monitoring, alerting, cost optimization, and platform lifecycle management to ensure reliability and performance. * Define and implement disaster recovery and resiliency strategies, including multi-region design patterns and high availability architectures. * Define and govern cloud financial management practices, including capacity planning, cost allocation, chargeback/showback models, reserved instance strategies, and optimization of cloud consumption. * Document all cloud architecture designs, standards, and processes, ensuring maintainability and knowledge transfer across teams. * Partner with Security Architecture and Engineering teams to establish secure-by-design cloud patterns, including network segmentation, privileged access management, encryption, vulnerability management, and regulatory compliance controls. * Train and mentor engineers and architects on cloud architecture standards, Infrastructure as Code practices, and platform engineering principles. ## Related Videos - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [#90DaysOfDevOps - The DevOps Learning Journey](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/548-90daysofdevops-the-devops-learning-journey) - [Implementing Feature Environments with AWS and Terraform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/531-implementing-feature-environments-with-aws-and-terraform) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Best Paying Remote Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/255-best-paying-remote-jobs) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
