Key Responsibilities:
Architecture & Strategy:
- Define the target‑state cloud architecture (landing zones, network topology, identity, guardrails, platform services) aligned to business, security, and compliance requirements.
- Drive cloud roadmaps, technology evaluations, and build‑vs‑buy recommendations (PaaS/SaaS/IaaS), including cost models and TCO.

Platform Engineering & Migration:
- Lead setup of foundational cloud services: subscription/tenant structure, management groups, RBAC, policy‑as‑code, Key/Secret management, logging and monitoring.
- Govern migration factories (waves/sprints), selecting migration paths (rehost, replatform, refactor) and validating cutover/runbooks.
- Oversee Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform/Bicep), pipelines, and setting automation for dev/test/stage/prod.

Security, Compliance & Resilience:
- Embed Zero Trust principles, network segmentation (hub‑and‑spoke), firewall/NSG rules, Private Endpoints, and encryption controls.
- Ensure governance: Policies, tagging, cost controls, backup/DR, RTO/RPO alignment,



and evidence for audits/regulatory needs.
- Partner with Security/Compliance teams on PII/PHI handling, data residency, and threat modeling.

Applications, Data & Integration Alignment:
- Collaborate with Application and Data Architects to align platform services with app modernization (containers, serverless, PaaS) and data workloads (lakehouse, streaming, analytics).
- Define integration patterns (API gateways, messaging/queues, event streaming) and non‑functional requirements (performance, reliability, observability).
- Support AI/analytics readiness (secure data access, search/indexing services, governance hooks).

Delivery Governance & Leadership:
- Provide architecture governance through design reviews, ADRs, and architectural runway.
- Mentor engineers; resolve cross‑domain design issues; ensure quality gates and operational readiness (SRE practices, telemetry).
- Communicate clearly with executives and stakeholders: r
