TL;DR · Lead Platform Architect, Cloud

As the Lead Platform Architect, Cloud, you will join the Infrastructure Platform Architecture team to define how the organization designs and operates infrastructure in the cloud. You will lead the architecture of cloud infrastructure platforms, ensuring they are secure, scalable, and resilient while aligning with enterprise standards. Your daily responsibilities include developing reference architectures, defining landing zones, managing environment segmentation, and establishing connectivity patterns for hybrid, multi-region, and SaaS integrations. You will collaborate with Engineering, Security, and Network teams to create reusable, automated infrastructure patterns rather than one-off builds. The role requires expertise in AWS and Azure, Infrastructure as Code, networking, identity management, and Zero Trust principles. This position focuses on solving complex architectural challenges within a regulated enterprise environment to ensure end-to-end infrastructure cohesion across cloud and on-premise environments.

What you'll do

  • Define and maintain enterprise cloud infrastructure architecture including landing zones, shared services, and environment segmentation.
  • Develop and document cloud infrastructure reference architectures and reusable patterns for the organization.
  • Lead the design of complex cross-tower initiatives involving cloud, network, identity, and operations.
  • Ensure all cloud designs are scalable, resilient, and aligned with enterprise standards and business needs.
  • Establish connectivity patterns for hybrid environments, multi-region deployments, and SaaS integrations.
  • Evaluate and guide workload placement decisions across both cloud and on-premises environments.
  • Promote automated infrastructure patterns to improve platform usability and the developer experience.
  • Mentor engineers and architects on cloud infrastructure best practices.

What we're looking for

  • Must have at least 10 years of experience in IT.
  • Must have at least 5 years of experience as an architect.
  • Must have at least 5 years of experience in cloud technologies, specifically AWS and Azure.
  • Must have a proven record of leading the implementation of AWS and Azure technologies.
  • Must have experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale infrastructure architectures.
  • Must possess deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure (IaaS/PaaS), networking, and identity management.
  • Must be familiar with Infrastructure as Code and Zero Trust architecture principles.
  • Must have experience working in a regulated enterprise environment such as financial services or insurance.
