Cloud Infrastructure Architect (AWS / Azure / GCP)
Job Details
- Employment Type: Contract
- Work Mode: Remote
- Location: Offshore

Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Cloud Infrastructure Architect to lead the strategic design, governance, and structural deployment of our multi-cloud enterprise footprints. The ideal candidate will map out robust network topologies, architect automated global landing zones, govern multi-tenant cloud migrations, and establish strict landing grid parameters to ensure platform scalability, fault tolerance, and minimal technical debt.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect high-level public and hybrid cloud infrastructure blueprints across public platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), defining secure multi-tenant global architectures.
- Design complex enterprise network topologies, configuring virtual private networks (VPCs/VNets), software-defined networks, global load balancing grids, and dedicated hybrid link architectures (Direct Connect/ExpressRoute).
- Establish automated, immutable landing zones, writing reusable, highly modular Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) libraries using Terraform or OpenTofu to enforce organizational policies across environments.
- Define platform high-availability and disaster recovery architectures, orchestrating multi-region replication layers, active-active failover schemes, and self-healing systems to hit zero-downtime service metrics.
- Govern identity, tenancy, and organizational access structures, mapping cross-account permissions, resource delegation boundaries, and Single Sign-On integrations alongside corporate security rules.
- Lead large-scale legacy to cloud migration strategies, driving discovery runs, mapping application dependencies, and orchestrating Greenfield or Brownfield cutover workflows.
- Chair Cloud Architecture Review Boards (ARB), evaluating custom application deployment impacts, infrastructure configurations, and platform resource dependencies to prevent environment drifts.
Requirements
- 8 to 12 years of core enterprise systems engineering experience, with at least 5+ dedicated years acting as a Lead Infrastructure Architect inside public cloud platforms.
- Expert-level technical mastery of Terraform/OpenTofu configurations, cloud-native networking services, compute virtualization matrices, and distributed storage systems.
- Deep structural understanding of software-defined perimeters, programmatic governor limitations, API-driven scaling mechanisms, and high-throughput application frameworks.
- Mandatory certification: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience implementing cloud environments in highly restricted fields complying with global regulatory guidelines (e.g., FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001).
- Familiarity with containerized runtime platform architectures (Kubernetes/EKS/AKS) or event-driven serverless system topologies.
