Position Overview :
We are seeking an experienced Principal Cloud Platform Architect / Engineering Lead to lead the design, implementation, and operationalization of a secure, scalable, enterprise-grade AWS cloud platform. This is not a traditional DevOps role. We are looking for a highly skilled cloud engineering leader who combines deep architectural expertise with hands-on implementation experience. You will work closely with Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Networking, Platform Engineering, and Application Development teams to build a modern cloud platform that supports enterprise-scale workloads with a strong emphasis on security, governance, observability, and operational excellence.
The platform architecture includes :
- Amazon EKS (Multi-Account Architecture)
- AWS Organizations
- Development, UAT, and Production Account Separation
- AWS Transit Gateway (TGW)
- AWS PrivateLink
- Akamai CDN & WAF
- Bitbucket CI/CD
- OpenTelemetry
- SigNoz Observability
- Secure Hybrid Connectivity
- Zero Trust Security Architecture
Key Responsibilities :
- Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of an enterprise-scale AWS Kubernetes platform.
- Design and implement secure multi-account AWS environments using AWS Organizations.
- Establish Kubernetes platform standards, governance, security controls, and operational best practices.
- Design secure networking architectures using Transit Gateway, PrivateLink, VPN, and AWS Direct Connect.
- Build secure and scalable CI/CD pipelines using Bitbucket Pipelines and self-hosted runners.
- Lead migration of containerized and cloud-native workloads into Amazon EKS.
- Develop Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
- Implement enterprise observability using OpenTelemetry, SigNoz, Prometheus, and Grafana.
- Drive Zero Trust security architecture and least-privilege access controls.
- Collaborate with Cyber Security teams for architecture reviews, security assessments, and compliance initiatives.
- Create technical standards, architecture documentation, implementation roadmaps, and operational playbooks.
- Mentor engineering teams and serve as the technical leader for cloud platform initiatives.
- Ensure platform reliability, scalability, availability, and operational readiness.
