• Develop and publish end-to-end solution blueprints for IaaS, PaaS, containerized, and serverless workloads
• Incorporate Zero Trust and Privileged Access Management principles within architectures
• Collaborate with application teams, DevOps, security, and operations to promote consistent architectural practices across clouds

2. Multi-Cloud Integration and Automation:

• Design and implement integrations between Apptio Cloudability and ServiceNow via RESTful APIs for cost management, chargeback, and reporting automation
• Implement CyberArk for credential management and Appgate SDP for secure access control within cloud-native designs
• Implement IBM Turbonomic for capacity resilience and integrate with ServiceNow
• Establish and enforce standards for using GitHub as the source control for Terraform-based Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) deployments

3. Observability and Monitoring Architecture:

• Deploy and configure Prometheus and Grafana for full-stack observability across cloud workloads
• Integrate observability tooling with MuleSoft APIs for performance monitoring and alerting

4. Governance, Security, and Best Practices:

• Define architectural standards and cloud governance models including tagging, policy enforcement, and FinOps
• Advocate and implement DevSecOps practices across all cloud environments
• Evaluate new cloud services, tools, and industry trends to ensure modern, future-proof architectures

5. Documentation and Enablement:

• Produce and maintain detailed technical documentation, runbooks, and architecture diagrams
• Conduct workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions with technical teams and business stakeholders

**While this Architect position is fully remote within the US, this person must be able to work and support central time zone working hours (8am-5pm) to efficiently support the end-client.

• Hands-on expertise in at least one of the following:
• Apptio Cloudability and ServiceNow integration (via API)
• CyberArk and Appgate implementation
• GitHub and Terraform in IaC pipelines
• Prometheus, Grafana, and MuleSoft
• Experience within security, compliance, identity, and/or network architecture in public cloud
• Experience with REST APIs and automation tooling
• US Citizen required

Highly Preferred Skills:

• Cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Pro, Azure Architect Expert, GCP Professional Cloud Architect, OCI Architect)
• Experience in multi-cloud FinOps and cloud cost governance
• Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF or Zachman

              Personal Attributes:

• Strategic thinker with attention to technical detail
• Passion for developing reusable frameworks and automation
• Strong communication and leadership skills
