  • Lead architecture reviews and provide governance for infrastructure changes, ensuring security-by-design and operational readiness (runbooks, monitoring, SRE/ops handover).
  • Architect compute and platform solutions (Windows/Linux, virtualization/containers), storage/backup, and endpoint management in line with security policies.

  • Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to ensure best practices, automation, and cloud-native patterns are consistently applied.
  • Partner with global architects, cybersecurity, application teams, vendors, and offshore delivery partners to ensure strategic alignment and integrated solution delivery.
  • Translate business, regulatory and non-functional requirements (security, availability, performance, observability) into solution designs and architecture decision records.
  • Manage vendor engagement and technical evaluation (RFP/RFQ, solution comparison, PoC), ensuring contracts/SOWs meet architecture and operational requirements.

    • Capability to lead and drive the IT BAU related tasks with good time and stakeholder management skills and experience.
    • Proactively socialize with stakeholders and maintain good relationship to steer tasks.
