Job Description

Cloud Infra Architect

Remote

Position Summary

  • The Enterprise Platform Engineer/Architect V is the senior-most individual-contributor role in Infrastructure, owning

enterprise cloud architecture across AWS and Azure. Where an Engineer IV executes against defined architecture, this role

defines it - making independent design decisions for multi-cloud infrastructure, leading complex technical initiatives end

to-end, and acting as a force multiplier for the rest of the engineering team (currently Engineer IV, III, and II-level staff) rather

than requiring the same level of oversight a less senior IC would.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end cloud architecture decisions across AWS and Azure, including multi-account AWS environments
  • (Control Tower, cross-account networking, resource sharing, IAM structures) and the existing Azure footprint, with
  • minimal ramp-up time in a multi-cloud environment.
  • Lead technical execution on major infrastructure initiatives independently, without requiring architectural supervision
    • most immediately, the Google Workspace Microsoft 365 migration (group/permissions reconciliation,
  • dependency remediation).
  • Design and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) at scale across a rapidly growing set of repositories and
  • environments, setting patterns other engineers build against.
  • Own cross-cloud networking: transit routing, VPC endpoints, cloud-to-cloud peering, load balancer/health-path
  • configuration, and multi-region connectivity.
  • Serve as a senior technical resource and mentor for Engineer II/III-level staff - a force multiplier, not a peer requiring
  • equivalent mentorship.
  • Support the organization's compliance posture (HITRUST/SOC2, HIPAA) from an infrastructure perspective - access
  • controls, logging/monitoring, and secure architecture review.
  • Engage credibly with external architecture stakeholders (security, compliance, vendor architects) at a level reflecting
  • the program's maturity.
  • Participate in on-call/incident response for high-priority infrastructure issues.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of enterprise infrastructure/platform engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of cloud
  • architecture decisions (not just execution against a given design).
  • Deep, hands-on expertise across both AWS and Azure in a multi-cloud enterprise environment.
  • Proven experience leading complex technical initiatives (e.g., large-scale migrations, multi-account cloud buildouts)
  • independently and end-to-end.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code experience at scale (Terraform preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor and act as a technical escalation point for less senior engineers.
  • Experience operating in a regulated/compliance-driven environment - healthcare (HIPAA) or HITRUST/SOC2
  • experience strongly preferred.
  • Preferred Qualifications
  • Direct HITRUST or SOC2 audit-support experience.
  • Experience with Microsoft Entra ID, Key Vault/secrets management, and Microsoft 365/Google Workspace
  • administration or migration projects.
  • Experience with Sentinel/MDR or comparable SIEM tooling.
  • Background in M&A technical integration (environment convergence, tenant/directory merges).
  • DevOps/CI-CD pipeline experience (Azure DevOps or equivalent).
