Responsibilities
Lead and manage a high-performing team of cloud architects and engineers responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of AWS and Azure cloud solutions.
Assign tasks, set priorities, and guide the implementation team to meet project deadlines and deliverables.
Foster a culture of continuous learning, innovation, and technical excellence within the team.
Develop career growth paths for team members and provide mentorship in cloud technologies, architecture, and best practices.
Work with cloud architects to design and implement scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud infrastructures across both AWS and Azure based on business and technical requirements.
Make decisions on whether to implement solutions on AWS or Azure based on business requirements, security standards, cost optimization, and high availability needs.
Ensure that solutions adhere to best practices for cloud design, such as high availability, fault tolerance, auto-scaling, and disaster recovery.
Collaborate with other engineering teams to architect hybrid cloud solutions and design systems that integrate seamlessly with on-premises infrastructure and legacy applications
Partner with DevOps, Data & Analytics, Integration, and Development teams to deploy cloud solutions and ensure that their requirements and best practices are incorporated into the architecture.
Guide teams in the adoption of cloud technologies and modern development practices (e.g., CI/CD pipelines, containerization, microservices) to modernize legacy systems and accelerate application delivery.
Work closely with cloud assurance teams to gather feedback on deployed solutions and work with architects to continuously improve cloud designs and infrastructure.
Assess business requirements, security needs, and technical specifications to determine whether to implement solutions on AWS or Azure.
Ensure that the chosen platform aligns with the organization's long-term cloud strategy, scalability, and security policies.
Consider factors such as cost optimization, resource availability, data sovereignty, and performance when making decisions about cloud platform selection.
Ensure that cloud solutions are monitored for performance, cost efficiency, and availability, working closely with operations teams to ensure that SLAs and performance targets are met.
Implement cloud monitoring solutions (e.g., AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor) to track system health, performance, and usage metrics.
Address feedback from operational and cloud assurance teams to improve existing architectures and proactively solve issues related to scalability, performance, and security.
Partner with security teams to design and implement secure cloud architectures, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and internal security standards.
Oversee the use of cloud-native security features (e.g., AWS IAM, Azure RBAC) and ensure proper access controls and encryption are in place for sensitive workloads.
Leverage your experience with VMware and ESXi to assist in the integration of on-premises virtualized environments with cloud infrastructure, ensuring smooth hybrid cloud operations.
Lead efforts to modernize legacy on-prem applications, leveraging cloud-native services such as containerization, microservices, and serverless computing to modernize and migrate workloads to AWS or Azure.
