ROLE SUMMARY

Cyient is looking for a Principal Architect who can operate at the intersection of cloud platform engineering, agentic AI and contemporary data engineering — and who is equally comfortable in front of a customer as in a design review.

This is a hands-on, customer-facing architecture role. You will own end-to-end solution architecture for strategic engagements, shape winning proposals and RFP responses, build demos and proofs of concept alongside the delivery team,



and set the technical direction that engineering teams execute against. You will also mentor architects and senior engineers, and partner with fellow architects across practices to drive reusable assets, accelerators and an active innovation agenda.

Success in this role looks like architecture decisions that survive production, customers who ask for you by name, proposals that convert, and a bench of engineers who are measurably stronger because you invested in them.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Own end-to-end architecture
for large, multi-workstream programs spanning cloud infrastructure, data platforms and AI services.
Design cloud-native solutions

Define the non-functional architecture
— scalability, resilience, latency, availability, disaster recovery and multi-tenancy — and hold designs accountable
