Amazon Web Services Microsoft Azure Cloud Computing Identity and Access Management Routing Software Engineering Policy as Code Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Kubernetes Cloud Optimization Terraform Microservices

Job description

We are looking for a Cloud Infrastructure Architect to take absolute ownership of a massive, mission-critical cloud environment.

  • Design the Target-State Architecture: Establish the multi-account structure, identity access management (IAM), network hubs, and the central landing zone for a distributed enterprise system.
  • Govern the Cloud Cost Model (FinOps): Take control of cloud expenditure. Establish strict resource tagging, showback models, and capacity strategies to optimize and protect the IT budget.
  • Enforce Policy-as-Code: Architect zero-trust alignment and codify automated security guardrails that satisfy rigorous compliance standards (such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001) without bottlenecking developer velocity.
  • Lead Modernization: Dictate what legacy workloads migrate as-is, what gets re-architected into containerized microservices, and orchestrate the exact sequence of deployment.

Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years of heavy infrastructure or software engineering, with a proven track record of designing and deploying environments above the single-project level.
  • Platform Mastery: Deep technical capability in major public clouds (AWS or Microsoft Azure), including mastery of native networking, routing, and IAM constructs.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Uncompromising mastery of Terraform to build, deploy, and govern repeatable, modular environments.
  • Container Orchestration: Hands-on ability to architect and deploy Kubernetes (EKS/AKS) systems at scale.

Benefits & conditions

Pay: $135,000.00 - $200,000.00 per year
