Lead Cloud Infrastructure Engineer (Azure+AWS)

Job Summary:

We are hiring a Lead Infrastructure & Cloud Engineer with a strong Wintel infrastructure foundation and current, hands-on capability in modern cloud infrastructure across Azure (primary) and AWS. This role exists to close a capability gap: we have deep on-prem expertise, and we need a leader who can define and drive modern cloud standards, guide technical direction, and uplift the team.

You’ll operate as a technical lead with an architecture mindset: creating reference designs, setting guardrails, making pragmatic trade-offs (security, resilience, cost), and leading delivery across infrastructure and hybrid cloud. This is not a DevOps role, you will collaborate with DevOps and engineers, but your focus is infrastructure/platform, governance, reliability, and technical leadership.

Job Responsibilities:

Cloud & Hybrid Architecture (Azure & AWS)

• Own the target-state hybrid cloud architecture and roadmap (12–24 months), aligning security, resilience, and cost requirements.
• Define reference architectures and standards: landing zones, network patterns, identity patterns, logging/monitoring, backup/DR, and environment separation.
• Lead design and implementation of secure cloud networking: VNets/VPCs, routing, VPN, ExpressRoute/Direct Connect, Private Link/Endpoints, load balancers, WAF where needed.
• Own cloud governance foundations: subscri
