Solution Architect – Cloud

A Senior Solution Architect specializing in Cloud solutions is expected to possess extensive expertise in designing, implementing, and managing scalable cloud architectures. This role requires deep knowledge of leading cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, including their core services like compute, storage, networking, and security. The architect must be proficient in cloud-native design principles, microservices architecture, containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code tools like Terraform or CloudFormation. Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks is critical to streamline deployment and operational processes. Strong skills in integrating cloud solutions with existing enterprise systems, ensuring compliance with security standards, and optimizing cost and performance are essential. The role demands a strategic mindset to translate business requirements into effective cloud strategies, collaborating closely with development teams, stakeholders, and security experts. Excellent communication skills are necessary to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Given the seniority, the candidate should have a proven track record of leading cloud transformation projects, mentoring junior architects or engineers, and driving innovation in cloud adoption. Familiarity with DevOps practices, hybrid cloud environments, and emerging technologies such as serverless computing or AI/ML integration in cloud ecosystems further enhances the capability to deliver comprehensive cloud solutions aligned with organizational goals.
