Architect cloud-native backend systems optimized for scalability, resilience, and cost-efficiency. Define and promote cloud-optimized design patterns such as microservices, event-driven architecture, service mesh, and containerized workloads. Ensure backend systems integrate cleanly with microfrontend architectures through well-designed APIs and edge services. Create architectural blueprints, system diagrams, and technical standards for cloud-native platforms. Champion an API-first design methodology. Collaborate with frontend/microfrontend teams to define and evolve API contracts. Implement API governance, gateways, and standards. Design and maintain modular, scalable microservices aligned with business domains. Optimize backend performance, latency, scalability, and fault tolerance. Provide architectural guidance to backend teams. Develop and maintain the multi-cloud architecture strategy (AWS/GCP). Design and document scalable, reliable, and secure cloud environments. Evaluate and recommend new cloud technologies and services. Collaborate with engineering and product teams to translate business requirements into cloud infrastructure designs. Lead the adoption and continuous improvement of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices. Oversee and mentor teams in the deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of cloud resources. Establish and enforce best practices for configuration management, CI/CD, and automated provisioning/de-provisioning. Implement comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting strategies. Embed security principles and controls into the cloud architecture. Work closely with the Security team to ensure cloud infrastructure meets security standards and compliance requirements. Implement and manage cloud security tools, IAM policies, and network security controls. Act as the subject matter expert for cloud-related infrastructure and architecture decisions. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to development and operations teams. Drive standardization across infrastructure services and deployment methodologies.
