Hybrid ship/shore & AWS cloud architecture
You will be able to design solutions operating across ships, shore data centers, and cloud, addressing intermittent connectivity, latency, data synchronization, and on-board resilience, leveraging AWS as the preferred platform in line with Costa and Carnival standards.
Governance, integration & delivery support
Your role involves apply enterprise architecture principles and Carnival standards, design integration architectures (APIs, events, batch), guide delivery teams, evaluate technologies and vendors, and embed security-by-design and FinOps cost-awareness.
Facilitating Collaboration
Your skills will be instrumental in fostering collaboration among team members, ensuring a harmonious and productive work environment.
You will collaborate with internal teams, technology vendors, and system integrators to ensure the quality and consistency of delivered solutions
