Security, compliance, and operational integrity are seamlessly embedded throughout the architecture lifecycle to enable secure innovation and reliable global delivery.

Infrastructure and Cloud Architecture

• Design and optimize hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, OCI) to support global enterprise workloads, including high-performance and resilient AI workloads.
• Define and standardize architectural patterns for compute, storage, networking, and platform services that enable efficient AI model training, inference, and data processing.
• Drive adoption of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), automation, and GitOps frameworks for consistent, repeatable deployments and operations.
• Embed security and compliance controls into infrastructure designs, including identity management, encryption, segmentation, and policy enforcement.
• Ensure observability, monitoring, and resilience are integral to all platform architectures.
• Collaborate with data and AI platform teams to ensure alignment between infrastructure, data pipelines, and MLOps environments.

Embedded Security and Resilience

• Partner with enterprise and security architects to align infrastructure designs with global security standards and regulatory frameworks.
• Support threat modeling, risk assessments, and architecture assurance reviews for infrastructure and AI deployments.
• Apply resilience-by-design principles, incorporating redundancy, failover, and recovery mechanisms across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Champion a culture of secure-by-default and continuous improvement in infrastructure and cloud operations.

Architecture Governance and Standards

• Contribute to the definition, evolution, and enforcement of global infrastructure and cloud standards, including AI and data-specific requirements.
• Ensure architectural decisions are documented, traceable, and compliant with enterprise governance frameworks.
• Participate in architecture review boards and provide expert guidance to delivery and engineering teams.
• Establish lifecycle governance to ensure infrastructure architectures remain aligned with evolving business, regulatory, and technology needs.

Collaboration and Enablement

• Collaborate with application, data, and security architects to design and deliver integrated, secure, and scalable infrastructure solutions.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineering and operations teams, fostering a culture of architectural excellence and innovation.

• Deep experience with multi-cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, OCI), hybrid networking, and infrastructure automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, GitOps).
• Proficiency in container orchestration (Kubernetes, AKS/EKS/OKE) and infrastructure observability (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
• Familiarity with embedded security practices — IAM, encryption, secure connectivity, and compliance automation.
• Working knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman) and cloud reference architectures.
• Exposure to AI/ML infrastructure, GPU/accelerator environments, and MLOps pipelines is highly desirable.
• Understanding of FinOps principles for cost optimization and governance in multi-cloud environments.

Preferred Certifications

• Azure or AWS Solutions Architect (Professional Level)
• TOGAF or equivalent enterprise architecture certification
• ITIL or COBIT for operational alignment
• CKA (Certified Kubernetes Administrator) or HashiCorp Terraform Associate
• Security certifications (e.g., CISSP, ISO 27001) are advantageous

Key Attributes

• Strategic thinker with the ability to balance long-term vision and pragmatic delivery.
• Strong communicator who can translate complex technical concepts into clear business value.
