Cloud Architect

We are looking for a technically strong and visionary Architect to lead the design of our Multi-Cloud Management Platform (MCMP) and FinOps system. This role requires deep understanding of cloud infrastructure orchestration, enterprise FinOps frameworks, and large-scale platform architecture. You will help define how enterprises govern, optimize, and automate their use of multi-cloud environments.

Key Responsibilities

Architect and evolve a scalable MCMP framework that provides:

• Unified Multi-Cloud Resource Management – lifecycle orchestration (provision, update, destroy) across AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, and private cloud.
• Blueprint Orchestration Engine – infrastructure-as-code templates (e.g., Terraform, Helm, ARM) for repeatable, policy-governed service deployment.
• Self-Service Portal & API Gateway – multi-tenant, catalog-driven interfaces for developer and operations teams.
• Access Control & Policy Framework – identity-aware RBAC/ABAC, quota enforcement, region/network isolation.

Lead FinOps architecture initiatives including:

• Cloud Billing Integration – ingestion and normalization of cost/billing data from hyperscalers and private platforms.
• Chargeback/Showback Engine – accurate cost allocation by project, BU, or tenant with customizable cost models.
• Cost Optimization Engine – AI-driven insights for idle resource detection, right-sizing, commitment management, and scheduling.
• Forecasting & Budget Guardrails – anomaly detection, budget burn tracking, and proactive alerts.
• Carbon-Aware Scheduling – placement strategies and metrics to reduce carbon footprint of cloud workloads.
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, SREs, and finance stakeholders to turn business goals into scalable architecture patterns.
• Ensure platform is extensible to support future innovations including AI-native services, intelligent governance, and hybrid edge-cloud integration.
• Benchmark MCMP/FinOps design against industry leaders like HPE Morpheus, CloudHealth, Apptio, and native CSP tools.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in cloud platform architecture, DevOps, or infrastructure software, with 3+ years focused on multi-cloud or FinOps systems.
• Deep understanding of cloud provider APIs, billing systems, and resource governance frameworks.
• Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code and orchestration tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes Operators).
• Experience with FinOps data pipelines, cost analytics engines, and business metrics integration.
• Familiarity with Open Policy Agent (OPA), Kyverno, or other policy-as-code systems for governance automation.
• Exposure to sustainability computing and carbon-intelligent workload scheduling is a strong plus.
• Skilled in cross-platform integration, performance optimization, and security design.
• Strong communication, documentation, and leadership capabilities.
• Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field.
