About the Role

We are looking for a Cloud Solution Architect who can design scalable, secure, and high‑performance cloud solutions that support our product and business goals. You will work closely with engineering, product, data, and security teams to define architecture standards, modernize infrastructure, and guide the organisation toward a cloud‑native, automation‑driven future.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, influencing engineering direction, and building systems that scale reliably.

Key Responsibilities

• Design end‑to‑end cloud architectures across compute, storage, networking, security, and data platforms.
• Lead cloud solution design sessions, architecture reviews, and technical decision‑making.
• Build reference architectures, reusable frameworks, and best practices for engineering teams.
• Drive cloud modernization initiatives including microservices, containerization, DevOps, and automation.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Ensure cloud environments follow strong security, governance, and compliance standards.
• Optimize cloud cost, performance, and reliability through continuous monitoring and improvements.
• Provide technical leadership on cloud migrations, integrations, and platform scalability.
• Evaluate new cloud services, tools, and technologies to strengthen our architecture roadmap.
• Mentor engineers and promote architectural excellence across teams.
