Role Overview

As a Principal Cloud Architect, you will be responsible for designing and implementing scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud infrastructure solutions. You will play a key role in cloud migration strategies, optimizing deployment processes, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. This role requires hands-on expertise in AWS, automation, DevOps, and cloud security.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Architecture & Migration
• Develop and implement cloud infrastructure strategy considering scalability, cost, and security.
• Design and execute cloud migration plans for legacy applications, transforming monolithic architectures into microservices.
• Optimize cloud deployment using AWS ECS, AWS Copilot, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Docker.
• Implement hybrid cloud solutions across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Infrastructure & Security
• Architect high-availability and disaster recovery solutions for mission-critical applications.
• Implement network and firewall security measures, ensuring compliance with industry regulations.
• Manage cloud security best practices, including IAM policies, WAF, GuardDuty, and CloudWatch monitoring.

DevOps & Automation
• Develop CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitLab, Terraform, and Ansible to streamline deployment.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, monitoring, and scaling to enhance system performance.
• Set up proactive monitoring with Datadog, Prometheus, and AWS CloudWatch for real-time alerts.

Database & Application Management
• Design, configure, and manage relational (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle) and non-relational (MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redshift) databases.
• Optimize web/application servers (Apache, Nginx, IIS) for performance and security.
• Implement containerized solutions using OpenShift, Docker, and Kubernetes for efficient application deployment."

Key Skills & Technologies
• Cloud Platforms: AWS (ECS, VPC, Lambda, RDS, CloudWatch, WAF), Azure, GCP
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Ansible
• DevOps Tools: Jenkins, GitOps, JFrog, Nexus, SonarQube
• Containers & Orchestration: Kubernetes, Docker, OpenShift
• Database Management: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redshift, ElasticSearch, Redis
• Security & Compliance: IAM, GuardDuty, WAF, Disaster Recovery, Network Security
• Monitoring & Performance Optimization: Prometheus, Datadog, Grafana, New Relic

Preferred Experience
• Led end-to-end cloud migration projects for enterprise applications.
• Hands-on experience in cost optimization and cloud resource scaling.
• Worked in e-commerce, digital consulting, or product-based companies like Deloitte Digital, IBM Digital, Capgemini, etc.
• Experience managing large-scale IT infrastructure for 400+ member teams.
