Cloud Architecture & Solution Design

Design and document highly available, secure, and performant cloud-native architectures across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Define engineering standards and reusable patterns for compute, networking, storage, and platform services (e.g., containers, serverless, messaging, databases).

Integrate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, ARM templates, or CloudFormation to build repeatable deployments.

Platform Engineering & Automation

Lead the implementation of CI/CD pipelines and automated infrastructure deployments.

Engineer resilient, auto-scaling solutions using cloud-native tools (e.g., AWS ECS/Fargate, Azure Kubernetes Service, Google Cloud Run).

Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability frameworks (e.g., CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, GCP Operations Suite).

Cloud Governance, Security & Compliance

Enforce cloud governance policies for tagging, resource usage, budget thresholds, and identity management.

Architect secure environments using IAM, encryption, key management, and network security controls.

Support regulatory and compliance requirements (HIPAA, FedRAMP, ISO 27001) through secure design patterns and audit readiness.

Performance Engineering & Cost Optimization

Continuously evaluate performance and cost efficiency of deployed cloud resources.

Optimize workloads using rightsizing, reserved instances, and modern architectural strategies (e.g., event-driven, microservices).

Conduct architecture reviews and well-architected assessments to recommend improvements.

Cloud Operations & Reliability

Support SRE principles by embedding resilience, fault-tolerance, and operational visibility in all solutions.

Collaborate with DevOps and infrastructure teams to implement monitoring, logging, and alerting at scale.

Troubleshoot systemic issues in cloud environments and drive root cause resolution.

Stakeholder Engagement & Enablement

Collaborate with business and technology leaders to translate requirements into actionable engineering solutions.
