Role: Cloud Architect
Cloud Operations and Automation

Role Summary
This is the senior-most cloud technical role on the team and the direct counterpart to our US-based Principal Cloud Architect. You will lead the cloud team technically, help build 24x7 cloud operations, and drive an automation-first approach to how we build, migrate, and run customer environments, primarily in OCI with a growing Azure footprint. The role is hands-on: you will write automation, execute complex migrations, and own Tier 3 escalations, while mentoring engineers and advising leadership on how the team should grow.
This is a technical leadership role first. People management experience is a plus but not required; we will help you grow into it. The focus is cloud platform engineering: infrastructure, networking, security, and automation. Deep expertise in Oracle applications or databases is not required.

Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership and 24x7 Operations
• Serve as technical lead for the cloud team and primary counterpart to the Principal Cloud Architect.

• Mentor Tier 1 and Tier 2 engineers, including early-career hires, and set standards for code, design, and change review.
• Act as final escalation point for complex incidents; lead root cause analysis and write customer-ready RCAs.
• Work a local day or second shift with overlap for handoffs to the US team, and participate in an escalation on-call rotation for critical incidents.
• Drive and maintain the team's runbook and knowledge base program, ensuring the engineers closest to the work document it for Tier 1 and Tier 2 use.

Automation First
• Build and maintain reusable automation using OpenTofu for infrastructure and Ansible for configuration management, with Bicep where Azure-native deployment
