We are looking for an experienced Infrastructure Architect to lead the design and architecture of infrastructure for a major data center and cloud carve-out project. The project involves separating a business from its parent company and establishing a secure, isolated infrastructure environment in Europe.

Key Responsibilities

- Architect the compute, storage, backup, virtualization, cloud, and DR infrastructure for the new environment.
- Develop infrastructure designs, standards, architecture diagrams, landing zones, and implementation plans.
- Work across Windows, Linux, and IBM AIX environments.
- Design solutions involving Lenovo Intel servers and IBM Power infrastructure.
- Architect NetApp and IBM Flash storage, including SAN connectivity using IBM SAN switches.
- Design VMware virtualization, Commvault or Veeam, and tape-library solutions.
- Design and implement cloud landing zones on AWS and/or Microsoft Azure, including account/subscription structure, networking, security, identity, governance, logging, monitoring, and connectivity.
- Define hybrid-cloud architecture and integration between the new data center and cloud environments.
- Assess workloads and determine the appropriate on-premises, cloud, or hybrid deployment model as part of the carve-out.
- Provide hands-on technical leadership during cloud infrastructure implementation, migration, and integration.
- Define and validate Disaster Recovery (DR) architecture and recovery requirements across on-premises and cloud environments.
- Collaborate with application, network, security, cloud, operations, and migration teams throughout the carve-out.




- Support technical decisions, implementation, migration, testing, and transition into operations.

Required Experience
- Strong infrastructure architecture experience, ideally in carve-out, separation, divestiture, or data-center transformation projects.
- Hands-on architecture experience across compute, storage, backup, virtualization, cloud, and DR.
- Robust knowledge of Windows, Linux, and IBM AIX.
- Experience with IBM Power/IBM hardware, Lenovo servers, and enterprise storage.
- Experience with NetApp, IBM Flash, SAN, VMware, Commvault and/or Veeam.
- Strong AWS and/or Azure infrastructure experience, with practical implementation experience—not architecture/design only.
- Proven experience designing and implementing AWS or Azure landing zones.
- Good understanding of cloud networking, security, IAM, governance, connectivity, compute, storage, monitoring, and backup.
- Experience implementing hybrid-cloud architectures and integrating cloud environments with on-premises data centers.
- Strong understanding of enterprise data-center architecture, resilience, backup, and DR.
- Excellent stakeholder management and ability to translate business and technical requirements into practical architecture.

Nice to Have
- Experience delivering infrastructure carve-outs in complex enterprise environments.
- Experience with AWS and/or Azure migration programs and large-scale infrastructure transformation.
- Cloud certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect or Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert.
- Experience working with geographically distributed teams and international stakeholders
