• Enforce data governance policies, encryption standards, and IAM strategies across infrastructure and application layers.

Tooling & Observability

• Define observability standards for logs, metrics, and traces using tools like Prometheus, ELK, and Datadog.
• Promote and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform or Pulumi, and GitOps workflows for operational consistency.

Requirements

Must Have:

• 10+ years in enterprise/solution architecture with deep hands-on technical experience.
• Proven expertise in designing and governing large-scale distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of modern cloud architecture, DevOps practices, and security models.
• Excellent collaboration skills across business, engineering, and security teams.

Nice to Have:

• Certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect, TOGAF, Azure Architect Expert, Kubernetes CKA/CKAD.
• Experience in regulated industries (e.g., finance, healthcare, government).
