This is a remote position.

• Employment Type: Contract
  
• Work Mode: Remote
  
• Location: Offshore
  
• Total Experience Required: 8 to 12 years
  
• Relevant Experience Required: 5+ years of dedicated cloud infrastructure architecture design across major public cloud environments
  
• Mandatory Certification: AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional, Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect
  

• 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.
  

• 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.
