• Scalability & Performance Optimization:
• Ensure the applications can scale dynamically in response to changing workloads, optimizing performance through effective use of cloud resources such as auto-scaling groups, load balancers, and caching strategies.
• Cloud Security & Compliance:
• Design and implement security best practices in cloud environments, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and organizational standards. Architect solutions that maintain the highest levels of data privacy, encryption, and access controls.
• Cloud-Native Application Monitoring:
• Implement robust monitoring and logging solutions to track application performance, availability, and security. Leverage cloud-native tools for real-time application monitoring (e.g., AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Google Cloud Operations Suite).
• Collaboration with Development Teams:
• Lead and collaborate with development teams to ensure cloud-native architectures are implemented efficiently, following best practices in cloud development, containerization, and application management.
• Cloud Application Documentation:
• Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for the cloud-native application architecture, including design patterns, integration methods, deployment processes, and cloud-specific optimizations.
• Technology Innovation & Research:
• Stay up to date with emerging cloud technologies and trends (e.g., Kubernetes, serverless computing, container orchestration), and apply them to improve application design, efficiency, and performance.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science or a related field.
• Minimum 10 years of enterprise and solution architecture experience (Implementation /Consulting/Operation) required. Hands-on experience is a must.
• Certification in cloud technologies will be an advantage.
