What you’ll need to succeed?
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related discipline. A master’s degree is preferred.
· Enterprise architecture credentials such as TOGAF, IASA CITA, or an equivalent architecture certification are preferred.
· Advanced cloud architecture certification is strongly preferred.
· Relevant infrastructure, container, database, virtualization, storage, networking, automation, or security certifications are considered assets.
· 10 or more years of progressive architecture experience, including enterprise, domain, cloud, infrastructure, platform, or cross-technology responsibility.
· Extensive experience designing enterprise cloud architectures and leading the architectural migration of large-scale on-premises technology estates to cloud infrastructure, managed services, and cloud-native capabilities.
· Demonstrated experience defining cloud strategies, future-state architectures, transition roadmaps, workload placement direction, architecture standards, modernization patterns, and technology retirement plans.
· Broad architecture experience across cloud services, Red Hat OpenShift, Kubernetes, virtualization, servers, operating systems, enterprise databases, storage, networking, identity, security, resilience, observability, and automation.
· Proven ability to collaborate with Technology Executives and influence senior technology leaders through clear analysis, architecture options, trade-offs, risks, and recommendations.
· Excellent mastery of cloud architecture, managed platform services, cloud-native patterns, migration architectures, hybrid transition states, and enterprise cloud operating considerations.
· Ability to translate enterprise priorities, executive direction, regulatory obligations, operational risks, and technology constraints into actionable modernization and cloudification direction.
· Ability to assess complex technology estates and determine the appropriate cloud destination, service model, migration approach, sequencing, transition architecture, and retirement path.
· Excellent executive communication, facilitation, negotiation, and influence, with the ability to provide implementable architecture direction without assuming engineering, delivery, or operational ownership.
· A clear and actionable Technology Modernization and Cloudification strategy and roadmap covering on-premises containers, virtualization, servers, operating systems, databases, storage technologies, and their target cloud services.
· Measurable migration of on-premises technologies and workloads to approved cloud services, supported by defined target architectures, transition states, migration sequencing, and retirement plans.
· Measurable acceleration and reduced manual effort in technology discovery, migration planning, remediation, and documentation through AI-enabled automation.
