Cloud Soluion Architect

About the Role Your mission As a Cloud Solution Architect at CloudAstro, you design cloud architectures that are built for real-world operations.

Key responsibilities 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. Your Responsibilities .
