Cloud Architect

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Cloud Engineer who can design, deploy, and optimize our cloud infrastructure from the ground up. The ideal candidate will have strong technical knowledge across major cloud platforms (AWS / Azure / GCP) and a practical mindset for cost efficiency, scalability, and automation.

This role involves both architecture and implementation you will estimate infrastructure sizing and cost, set up CI/CD environments, and design scripts or automation routines to scale services up or down based on usage.

Key Responsibilities

Design and implement scalable, secure, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure. Estimate resource sizing and prepare cost projections for various workload scenarios. Automate infrastructure provisioning using IaC tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates). Develop scripts (Python / Bash / PowerShell) to optimize runtime costs e.g., auto-shutdown of non-critical services. Implement monitoring, alerting, and performance tuning using cloud-native tools (CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Stackdriver). Integrate CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent). Enforce security best practices and compliance configurations (IAM roles, encryption, networking policies). Work closely with development and project management teams to align infrastructure with product goals. Generate regular reports on cost, performance, and uptime metrics.

Required Skills & Experience

510 years of experience in Cloud Engineering / DevOps roles. Hands-on expertise in at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform). Strong command of Terraform / CloudFormation and scripting (Python, Bash, or PowerShell). Proficiency in Docker / Kubernetes for containerized deployment (optional but desirable). Familiarity with VPC design, load balancing, auto-scaling, and IAM. Experience in cost optimization techniques, such as right-sizing, reserved instances, or serverless options. Working knowledge of CI/CD and version control systems (Git). Understanding of basic networking and security principles.
