- Deliver high‑quality architecture outputs within agreed timeframes and budgets.
- Advise on secure, scalable design practices and ensure alignment with enterprise governance models.
Expected Outcomes
- Delivery of a baseline set of cloud foundation reference architectures - including network, ingress/egress, DNS, tenancy and guardrail designs - within the first 8-12 weeks.
- Creation of repeatable, IaC‑driven patterns that enable consistent consumption of cloud foundations by engineering teams.
Required Skills and Experience
- Proven experience designing cloud landing zones and foundational architecture, with strong proficiency in GCP (preferred) and working knowledge of AWS.
- 3+ years' experience designing target‑state solution architectures aligned to enterprise or industry best practices.
- Proven experience delivering solution architecture and key design decisions in large, complex enterprises - preferably within regulated industries.
- Deep hands‑on architectural expertise across networking, hybrid connectivity, DNS, secure ingress/egress, tenancy design and guardrail development.
