We are looking for a Cloud Architect to shape the long-term cloud strategy for a growing platform based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This position will evaluate the current environment, define a future-state architecture, and establish standards that strengthen scalability, security, resiliency, and tenant separation. The role also serves as a senior technical advisor, guiding engineering teams and leadership on architectural decisions that support enterprise readiness and sustainable growth.
Job Responsibility:
Define the future-state cloud architecture and create a clear roadmap for evolving the platform into a secure, resilient, and enterprise-ready environment
Assess the current cloud ecosystem to identify architectural risks, capability gaps, and priority improvements across infrastructure, identity, networking, and data services
Design patterns that support multi-tenant deployment models, strong isolation boundaries, and reliable performance at scale
Establish architecture governance practices, decision frameworks, and technical standards to ensure consistency across cloud initiatives
Lead the design of resilient regional and availability-zone strategies that improve fault tolerance, continuity, and operational stability
Embed security and privacy principles into platform design, including access controls, encryption approaches, and data protection measures
Partner with engineering leaders, stakeholders, and external vendors to review proposals, challenge misaligned recommendations, and drive sound technical direction
Balance strategic architecture goals with near-term delivery needs by guiding practical design choices that support both speed and long-term maintainability
Contribute architectural oversight in environments involving external delivery partners or evolving platform capabilities, including transitions that affect cloud design and governance
Requirements:
10+ years of experience in cloud architecture roles with broad ownership of production-grade platforms
Proven success defining target-state architecture for complex cloud environments with enterprise-scale expectations
Deep expertise in core cloud domains such as compute, networking, identity and access management, data services, and security architecture
Strong experience designing multi-tenant platforms with effective tenant isolation and scalable infrastructure patterns
Demonstrated ability to build resilient architectures across multiple availability zones and region-aware deployments
Solid knowledge of cloud security practices, encryption strategies, IAM controls, and data protection standards
Experience establishing architectural governance models and communicating tradeoffs to both technical teams and executive stakeholders
