About The Position

A Career at HARMAN As a technology leader that is rapidly on the move, HARMAN is filled with people who are focused on making life better. Innovation, inclusivity and teamwork are a part of our DNA. When you add that to the challenges we take on and solve together, you’ll discover that at HARMAN you can grow, make a difference and be proud of the work you do every day. About the Role In this role, you will report to the Manager – Cloud Operations. As a Cloud Engineer, you will lead operations, architecture and engineering across multiple cloud providers (Azure, AWS, GCP), defining and operating secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud platforms and reference architectures for the Corporate division. You will partner closely with infrastructure and development teams to accelerate delivery through AI-enabled capabilities and automation, while ensuring strong GRCSP (governance, risk, compliance, security, and privacy) by design. Your Team You will be part of a global team distributed across India, USA, Mexico, and Europe - providing 24/7 cloud services.

Requirements

• Master’s degree or Bachelors degree with relevant experience in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field
• 7+ years of experience in cloud engineering and architecture, with proven delivery on at least two major cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Strong knowledge of cloud and platform architecture fundamentals: networking, DNS, load balancing, identity and access management, compute/container platforms, storage, and resilience patterns.
• Hands-on experience designing for GRCSP: governance and policy controls, risk management, security architecture, privacy-by-design, and audit/compliance readiness in cloud environments.
• Proficiency with AI integration with automation and Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep) and CI/CD practices; scripting skills (PowerShell, Python, or similar) preferred.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to bridge business needs and technical execution across infrastructure, development, and security teams.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve multi-cloud operations and collaborate in architecture (Azure, AWS, GCP), including target-state designs, reference architectures, and platform standards.
• Drive cloud engineering decisions across providers: landing zones, networking, identity, compute, storage, observability, resiliency, and service catalog patterns.
• Collaborate with other Cloud Operations team members to handle deploying and managing cloud resources in a multi-cloud environment.
• Act as a business liaison for cloud: translate business objectives into technical roadmaps, and align stakeholders across infrastructure, application development, and security teams.
• Enable AI and modern platform capabilities (e.g., data/AI services, MLOps patterns, secure access to foundation models) in collaboration with product and engineering teams.
• Lead automation strategy and implementation for Cloud Operations using Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD (e.g., Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep), policy-as-code, and self-service workflows.
• Design and enforce GRCSP guardrails: governance frameworks, risk management, compliance requirements, security baselines, and privacy controls across all cloud platforms.
• Establish cloud security architecture patterns (identity, encryption, network segmentation, secrets management) and partner with SOC/GRC teams to remediate findings.
• Collaborate in architecture reviews for new initiatives and major changes; ensure designs meet non-functional requirements (availability, performance, security, compliance, operability, and cost).
• Drive cost management and FinOps practices: tagging/chargeback models, unit economics, rightsizing, commitment programs, and architectural tradeoffs.
• Partner with IT Operations on reliability and incident learnings (post-incident reviews, problem management), driving platform improvements and preventive controls.
• Create and maintain cloud standards, blueprints, and documentation; provide guidance, workshops, and coaching to engineering teams to accelerate adoption.
• Collaborate in defining and tracking a cloud architecture roadmap and key outcomes (security posture, compliance adherence, automation coverage, platform reliability, and cost efficiency) across the Corporate division.
• Evaluate cloud services, security tooling, and automation platforms; make recommendations and guide implementation with a focus on standardization and reuse.
• Build and report cloud posture metrics (GRCSP controls, audit readiness, security remediation progress, cost optimization, and automation maturity) to support decision-making.
• Collaborate with a diverse, globally distributed team and communicate architecture decisions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
