Job Summary
Lead enterprise architecture design and review across infrastructure, platform engineering, security, and integration initiatives with emphasis on pragmatic execution, governance, and long-term operability. Build, mature, and operate architecture review processes including intake workflows, domain impact assessment, design consultation, and automated governance mechanisms. Define and drive adoption of reusable infrastructure-as-code blueprints and patterns (Terraform modules, networking standards, multi-account structures) to reduce pattern sprawl and promote engineering efficiency. Design and manage on-prem and multi-region cloud networking architectures including Transit Gateway, centralized inspection VPC models, multi-account VPC patterns, and hybrid connectivity. Lead cloud migration and data center exit programs — authoring cutover strategies, owning infrastructure delivery, and coordinating with compliance and security stakeholders. Build and deliver enablement programs for engineering teams transitioning to cloud-native, infrastructure-as-code-driven operating models (Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, SDLC best practices). Translate complex infrastructure and architecture decisions into clear, business-aligned recommendations for executive and non-technical stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
- Proven experience utilizing AI technologies to enhance decision-making, streamline workflows and processes, improve efficiency and drive business outcomes
- 7+ years of experience in enterprise architecture, cloud platform engineering, or infrastructure engineering, with demonstrated progression into architecture and governance leadership
- Deep hands-on expertise with AWS (Transit Gateway, VPCs, multi-account patterns, IAM, Network Firewall), Terraform, Kubernetes, and CI/CD platforms such as GitLab CI/CD
- Demonstrated experience building or operating architecture review boards, governance frameworks, or infrastructure standards programs at an enterprise scale
- Strong background in cloud networking design — including multi-region connectivity, network segmentation, inspection architectures, and hybrid/on-premises integration
- Experience leading or contributing to data center exit or cloud migration programs, including infrastructure-as-code delivery and compliance-aligned design
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage both deeply technical and non-technical audiences
Desired Qualifications
- Exposure to PCI, SOC 2, or similar compliance frameworks
- Hands-on familiarity with GitOps tooling such as ArgoCD, Helm, or Octopus Deploy for Kubernetes-based workload delivery
