Architect, Modern Platforms Cloud Infrastructure

Presidio, Where Teamwork and Innovation Shape the Future
At Presidio, we're at the forefront of a global technology revolution, transforming industries through cutting-edge digital solutions and next-generation AI. We empower businesses - and their internal customers - to achieve more through innovation, automation, and intelligent insights.

The Role

As a Cloud Infrastructure Architect, you will play a pivotal role in designing, building, and optimizing scalable cloud-native infrastructure and services across enterprise environments. This role emphasizes cloud solution engineering, platform governance, automation, and performance optimization to enable secure, resilient, and cost-effective cloud operations. You will collaborate with engineering, security, DevOps, and application development teams to deliver robust cloud architectures tailored to business needs.

Responsibilities include:

Cloud Architecture & Solution Design 

• Design and document highly available, secure, and performant cloud-native architectures across AWS (preferred), Azure, and GCP. 
• Define engineering standards and reusable patterns for compute, networking, storage, and platform services (e.g., containers, serverless, messaging, databases). 
• Integrate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, ARM templates, or CloudFormation to build repeatable deployments. 
•  Establish and implement cloud adoption frameworks and landing zone strategies (e.g., AWS Landing Zones, Azure Landing Zones, GCP Foundations) to ensure consistent, governed, and scalable cloud foundations across enterprise environments. 

Cloud Migration & Modernization 

• Lead and architect end-to-end cloud migration initiatives, encompassing assessment, planning, and execution of lift-and-shift, replatforming, and application modernization strategies. 
• Evaluate existing on-premises and hybrid workloads to define migration roadmaps aligned with business priorities, risk tolerance, and target architectures. 
• Apply proven migration frameworks and patterns (e.g., AWS Migration Acceleration Program, Azure Migrate, Google Cloud Migration Framework) to drive structured, low-disruption transitions. 
• Collaborate with application, infrastructure, and security teams to validate migration readiness and ensure continuity of operations throughout the migration lifecycle. 

Platform Engineering & Automation 

• Lead the implementation of CI/CD pipelines and automated infrastructure deployments. 
• Engineer resilient, auto-scaling solutions using cloud-native tools (e.g., AWS ECS/Fargate, Azure Kubernetes Service, Google Cloud Run). 
• Implement monitoring, alerting, and observability frameworks (e.g., CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, GCP Operations Suite). 

Cloud Governance, Security & Compliance 

• Enforce cloud governance policies for tagging, resource usage, budget thresholds, and identity management. 
• Architect secure environments using IAM, encryption, key management, and network security controls. 
• Support regulatory and compliance requirements (HIPAA, FedRAMP, ISO 27001) through secure design patterns and audit readiness. 

Performance Engineering & Cost Optimization 

• Continuously evaluate performance and cost efficiency of deployed cloud resources. 
•  Optimize workloads using rightsizing, reserved instances, and modern architectural strategies (e.g., event-driven, microservices). 
• Conduct architecture reviews and well-architected assessments to recommend improvements. 
• Apply FinOps principles and tooling (e.g., AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, CloudHealth, Apptio Cloudability) to establish financial accountability, drive cost transparency, and optimize cloud spend across business units. 

Cloud Operations & Reliability 

• Support SRE principles by embedding resilience, fault-tolerance, and operational visibility in all solutions. 
• Collaborate with DevOps and infrastructure teams to implement monitoring, logging, and alerting at scale. 
• Troubleshoot systemic issues in cloud environments and drive root cause resolution. 

Stakeholder Engagement & Client Leadership 

• Serve as a trusted advisor to business and technology leaders, leading discovery and design sessions that translate complex requirements into actionable cloud infrastructure strategies. 
• Present architecture recommendations, roadmaps, and solution outcomes to executive and senior stakeholder audiences, communicating technical concepts with clarity and business context. 
• Drive cloud adoption strategy across client organizations, influencing decision-making at the architectural and investment levels. 
• Guide and mentor engineering and development teams on cloud-native best practices, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement. 
• Champion knowledge sharing through documentation, internal communities of practice, and cross-functional enablement sessions. 

Required Skills and Professional Experience

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience and/or military experience 
• 5+ years of client-facing consulting experience encompassing cloud and on-premises architecture strategy and delivery across enterprise environments 
• 5+ years of experience in IT, inclusive of demonstrated hands-on expertise in cloud engineering or cloud architecture roles across one or more major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) 
•  Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure (IaaS/PaaS), virtualization, and cloud-native services 
•  Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP and associated certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Architect Expert) 
• *Proficiency in Terraform, CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps), and scripting languages (Python, Bash) 
•  Familiarity with Kubernetes, containers, service meshes, and cloud networking 
• Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and troubleshooting skills 
•  Excellent communication and documentation skills 

Preferred Skills and Professional Experience

• Experience implementing cloud governance frameworks and security controls 
• Knowledge of hybrid and multicloud strategies and tooling 
• Experience with agile methodologies and DevSecOps culture 
• Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure patterns, including GPU-backed compute environments, AI/ML pipeline architecture, vector database design, and large language model (LLM) deployment on cloud platforms 
• Ability to lead engineering workshops and influence cloud adoption strategy across teams 
• Strong sense of ownership, initiative, and ability to work independently and collaboratively
