- Design and implement production workloads spanning compute, networking, storage, databases, containers, and serverless services in both clouds.
- Lead cloud migration, modernization, and workload placement decisions, including cross-cloud and hybrid scenarios.
- Ensure parity in governance, reliability, security, and operational standards across Azure and AWS where appropriate.
- Write and maintain production Infrastructure as Code (Terraform required; Bicep, ARM, and CloudFormation as applicable).
- Act as the technical escalation point for complex cloud architecture and engineering issues.

Identity, Access & Governance

- Design enterprise IAM models across Azure (Entra ID) and AWS (IAM, IAM Identity Center)
- Implement least-privilege access using role-based, attribute-based, and group-based controls
- Architect federation, SSO, and conditional access patterns integrated with Microsoft Entra ID
- Lead periodic access reviews, governance processes, and policy-as-code enforcement

- Participate in security reviews, audits, and certifications as the cloud subject-matter expert
- Ensure cloud services remain continuously compliant with approved security baselines

Cost Management & FinOps

- Own dual-cloud cost visibility, forecasting, chargeback/showback, and optimization across Azure and AWS
- Drive continuous cost optimization through rightsizing, commitment management (Azure Reservations/Savings Plans, AWS Reserved Instances/Savings Plans), and architectural improvements
- Partner with Finance and IT leadership on cloud budget planning and ROI reporting
- Establish FinOps practices and cost guardrails as part of the landing zone

Operations, Reliability & Team Enablement

- Define SLOs, runbooks, and incident response patterns for cloud workloads
- Act as escalation for cloud-related incidents, changes, and post-incident reviews
- Mentor cloud engineers and upskill the broader IT team on Azure and AWS best practices
- Participate in change management and on-call rotations as required
- Produce and maintain transparent architecture diagrams, design documents, standards, and operational runbooks as the source of truth for cloud environment.
