Lead Cloud Architect

Purpose

As part of a newly created cross-functional delivery team, you will design, build, and operate secure, scalable, and fully automated cloud platforms supporting prototypes and MVPs.

You will oversee the design of scalable, secure, and cost-efficient architectures on Azure, enabling fast experimentation (3–6 months cycles) with strong autonomy and alignment with “everything as code” and “AI-first” principles.

Key Missions

Your daily tasks will include:

• Designing end-to-end technical architectures for prototypes, MVPs, IoT services, APIs, and AI-enabled platforms.

• Selecting modern tools and services (Azure, Datadog, Kubernetes/serverless, IaC) based on efficiency and delivery speed.

• Leading architecture reviews and ensuring compliance with security and RUN compatibility expectations.

• Implementing infrastructure-as-code foundations enabling rapid deployment and reproducibility.

• Supporting engineering teams (backend, data, AI, mobile) with architectural guidance and hands-on support.

• Ensuring observability, scalability, performance, and right-sizing of environments.

• Collaborating with the Security Architect to guarantee secure-by-design patterns

KEY COMPETENCIES

Core Technical Skills
