The Role

- Define infrastructure architecture, target-state infrastructure roadmaps, transition architectures, and modernisation plans across data centre, cloud, hybrid, network, compute, storage, virtualisation, container, and platform environments.
- Establish infrastructure architecture principles, standards, reference architectures, governance models, design review mechanisms, and architecture decision frameworks.
- Translate business strategy, regulatory expectations, application requirements, capacity needs, and resilience priorities into infrastructure strategy and execution roadmaps.
- Lead infrastructure assessments across data centres, compute, storage, network, virtualisation, cloud, security, observability, backup, disaster recovery, and operations domains.
- Design secure, scalable, resilient, and highly available infrastructure architectures for mission-critical banking and enterprise workloads.
- Advise clients on infrastructure modernisation, hybrid cloud adoption, private cloud, public cloud, container platforms, software-defined infrastructure, automation, infrastructure-as-code, and operating model transformation.
- Define and review infrastructure designs for data centre connectivity, workload hosting, migration planning, infrastructure integration, capacity management, performance optimisation, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
- Review infrastructure implementation plans and ensure alignment with architecture intent, design goals, security requirements, regulatory compliance, performance expectations, and operational resilience needs.
- Lead strategic options analysis and present clear trade-offs across cost, risk, performance, scalability, resilience, security, operational complexity, and business value.
- Evaluate emerging infrastructure technologies and advise clients on suitability, risks, dependencies, advantages, and implementation considerations.
- Support RFPs, solution shaping, vendor evaluations, technical due diligence, architecture governance forums, and executive presentations.
- Work with OEMs, cloud providers, IT vendors, internal teams, and client stakeholders to ensure infrastructure architecture decisions are practical and executable.
- Partner with security, application, operations, and business teams to align infrastructure capacity, availability, performance, and compliance with current and future business needs.




- Drive modern engineering and operations practices including automation, DevSecOps, observability, FinOps, SRE principles, infrastructure-as-code, platform engineering, and operational resilience.
- Support AI-enabled transformation by ensuring infrastructure readiness for AI workloads, data platforms, model hosting, GPU/accelerated compute where applicable, secure connectivity, observability, and scalable platform operations.
- Serve as a subject matter expert, guide teams on infrastructure architecture principles, and mentor junior architects and engineers
