Hybrid Cloud Architect

Our client, operating in the Gaming industry, is looking for a professional Hybrid Cloud Architect to join their team: 

The Hybrid Cloud Architect plays a critical role within the Architecture Team, leading the design, implementation, and governance of hybrid infrastructure solutions across cloud (primarily AWS) and on-prem environments. This is a hands-on role focused on delivering scalable, secure, and cost-effective platforms that support innovation, performance, and regulatory compliance.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement secure, scalable, and cost-optimized hybrid infrastructure solutions across compute, storage, networking, and security.
• Lead both cloud and on-prem migrations and modernizations, including roadmap development, cost-benefit analysis, and execution strategies.
• Manage hybrid networking (VPCs, VPNs, transit gateways, DNS, routing, load balancers) and identity (IAM, RBAC, identity federation) with a focus on Zero Trust principles.
• Collaborate with engineering, security, and compliance teams to ensure infrastructure meets business and regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, gaming regulations).
• Implement and maintain container platforms (e.g., EKS), CI/CD pipelines, and ephemeral environments.
• Enforce governance around cloud usage, tagging, cost management (FinOps), and lifecycle practices.
• Enhance monitoring, observability, and disaster recovery for hybrid environments; lead issue resolution and tool evaluation.
• Build infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation); automate provisioning, scaling, patching, and teardown.
• Evaluate and integrate new technologies to continuously improve platform performance, security, and cost-efficiency.
• Serve as a subject matter expert and mentor across teams, supporting adoption of cloud-native, on-prem, and hybrid solutions.
• Maintain architecture documentation and standards; lead PoCs and stay informed on emerging trends in cloud, infrastructure, and platform tooling.

Requirements

• Expertise in AWS services (multi-account architecture, VPC, IAM, EKS), hybrid cloud design, and workload migration.
• Strong knowledge of networking, security, and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Python, Bash).
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and CI/CD systems.
• Familiarity with FinOps principles and observability best practices.

Education and Experience

• Proven experience in hybrid infrastructure or cloud architecture roles.
• AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification (Professional preferred); experience with Azure or GCP is a plus.

Benefits

• Hybrid working
• Performance Bonus
