Product Solution Lead - Cloud Services and Architecture

Role Purpose

Architects and runs the shared cloud services layer (CoreCompute) — compute, storage/backup, landing zones, containers, GPU and DR — built once and consumed by every proposition.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and operate cloud landing zones and shared platform services consumed estate-wide — run once, priced inside the consuming propositions.
- Run container platforms (AKS-class) and platform-engineering golden paths — templates, GitOps pipelines and self-service provisioning for delivery teams.
- Own storage, backup and DR patterns as shared services — tiering, immutability basics and RPO/RTO-engineered recovery.
- Stand up and govern GPU/AI infrastructure for agentic and data workloads — provisioning, scheduling/quota and cost controls.
- Enforce architecture standards and guardrails — policy-as-code, Well-Architected reviews, security baselines — across customer environments.
- Partner with the Hybrid Cloud lead on workload placement, migration waves and cost engineering.
