About the Role

Your mission

As a Cloud Solution Architect at CloudAstro, you design cloud architectures that are built for real-world operations. You translate business and regulatory requirements into secure, scalable, and operable cloud platforms.
You take responsibility beyond diagrams — ensuring that architectures work reliably in production and can be operated long-term.

Cloud architecture & design:

Design end-to-end cloud architectures that balance scalability, security, cost efficiency, and operational stability.

Strategy to execution:

Translate business goals, compliance requirements, and technical constraints into actionable cloud designs.

Governance & compliance:

Define and implement governance, security, and compliance frameworks (e.g. Zero Trust, GDPR, regulated environments).

Operational readiness:

Ensure architectures are production-ready, including monitoring, resilience, backup strategies, and operational processes.

• Collaboration:

Work closely with Cloud DevOps Engineers and Operations teams to ensure architectural decisions are implemented and operated correctly.

Stakeholder communication:

Advise technical and non-technical stakeholders with clear recommendations and well-founded decisions.

Standards & documentation:

Define architectural standards and create clear documentation to ensure consistency and long-term maintainability.
