Responsibilities

Define and own the cloud infrastructure architecture and technical strategy across Azure, AWS, GCP, and hybrid environments, establishing secure, scalable, highly available, and cost-effective patterns across networking, compute, storage, identity, and core infrastructure services.
Set enterprise standards for reliability, resilience, and observability, including high availability, disaster recovery, business continuity, capacity planning, monitoring, alerting, and incident management to ensure critical platforms remain resilient and operational at scale.
Architect secure cloud and identity solutions based on zero trust principles, partnering with Security and Compliance teams to establish identity governance, access controls, security guardrails, and architectural standards that reduce risk and meet regulatory and compliance requirements.
Drive infrastructure automation and engineering excellence through Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, scripting, and configuration management, establishing reusable frameworks and standards that improve consistency, repeatability, security, and operational efficiency.
Provide technical leadership for cloud modernization and emerging technologies, including cloud migrations, platform consolidation, enterprise SaaS and AI platforms integrations, and new cloud capabilities. Evaluate technologies with a focus on business value, scalability, security, cost, and operational risk.
Serve as a principal technical authority across the infrastructure organization, leading architecture and design reviews, resolving complex cross-platform challenges, mentoring senior engineers, and influencing technical decisions and engineering practices that continuously improve reliability, security, automation, scalability, and cost efficiency.
