Position Summary 

Cloud Solution Architect (Senior Consultants, Managers)

Role Summary

We are seeking a seasoned Cloud Solution Architect with 10+ years of overall experience and deep hands-on expertise in MEAN/MERN stack delivery[SM1] . This role will lead end-to-end architecture for cloud-native web applications—shaping target-state architectures, guiding engineering teams, and ensuring secure, scalable deployments across multi-cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP). You will partner with product, security, and platform teams to deliver resilient solutions using modern DevSecOps, containerization, and infrastructure automation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead solution architecture for large-scale MEAN/MERN applications (MongoDB, Express, Angular/React, Node.js), including modernization and greenfield builds.
• Define cloud reference architectures and implementation patterns for multi-cloud deployments (AWS/Azure/GCP), balancing portability with platform-native optimizations.
• Design and govern API strategies (REST/GraphQL), integration patterns, event-driven architectures, and microservices/service decomposition.
• Architect scalable data solutions involving MongoDB (and complementary stores where needed), caching, messaging/streaming, and search.
• Establish non-functional requirements and ensure performance, reliability, scalability, observability, and cost efficiency (FinOps) are built in.
• Drive cloud security architecture: IAM, secrets management, encryption, network segmentation, WAF, threat modeling, and compliance-aligned controls.
• Build and influence CI/CD and DevSecOps practices: automated testing, SAST/DAST, artifact management, policy-as-code, and release governance.
• Define infrastructure-as-code and deployment automation (e.g., Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep), and standardize environment provisioning.
• Guide container and platform strategy (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS/AKS/GKE, ingress/service mesh as appropriate) and operational runbooks.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into architecture decisions; produce clear artifacts (HLD/LLD, ADRs, roadmaps).
• Mentor engineers and architects; conduct design reviews and enforce architecture standards and best practices.
• Support production readiness, incident response improvements, SRE-style reliability practices, and continuous optimization.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years total experience in software engineering and architecture, with significant time delivering MEAN/MERN applications
• Expert-level Node.js (TypeScript preferred), Express/NestJS (or similar), and React and/or Angular
• Strong experience designing and operating MongoDB solutions (data modeling, indexing, replication, sharding, performance tuning)
• Proven multi-cloud deployment experience across AWS/Azure/GCP (at least two strongly preferred)
• Strong understanding of cloud networking and security fundamentals (VPC/VNet, subnets, routing, DNS, load balancing, TLS, IAM)
• Hands-on experience with containers and Kubernetes and cloud-managed services (EKS/AKS/GKE)
• CI/CD expertise (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps) and IaC (Terraform strongly preferred)
• Observability experience (logging/metrics/tracing) using tools such as CloudWatch/Azure Monitor/GCP Operations, Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK
• Strong architecture documentation and communication skills; ability to influence technical direction across teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Cloud certifications (one or more): AWS Solutions Architect (Professional), Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Professional Cloud Architect
• Experience with service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), API gateways (Kong/Apigee/AWS API Gateway/Azure APIM), and eventing (Kafka, Pub/Sub, Event Hubs)
• Experience with zero-trust patterns, policy-as-code (OPA/Gatekeeper), and security tooling (Vault, Prisma, Wiz, etc.)
• Experience with multi-region/high-availability designs and disaster recovery planning (RTO/RPO)
• Familiarity with platform engineering and internal developer platforms (Backstage, golden paths, reusable templates)
• Domain experience in regulated environments (financial services, healthcare, public sector)

Key Competencies

• Architecture leadership and pragmatic decision-making (trade-offs, risk management, technology selection)
• Strong stakeholder management; ability to translate ambiguity into executable plans
• Hands-on builder mindset—comfortable diving into code, pipelines, and cloud consoles when needed
• Coaching/mentoring and quality-driven engineering culture

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience). Master’s degree is a plus
