Occupation
Cloud Architect
A Cloud Architect designs and oversees an organization's cloud infrastructure strategy, translating business requirements into scalable, secure systems built on AWS, Azure, or GCP. This senior technical role combines cloud infrastructure design with hands-on use of Kubernetes for container orchestration and Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools to automate provisioning. Security architecture is a core concern, as these architects must bake in identity, network, and data protection controls from the ground up, typically reporting into engineering or IT leadership.
