Infrastructure Architect

Role Overview

• The Infrastructure Architect is a senior technical leader responsible for defining and evolving the Banks cloud‑centric infrastructure platforms.
• This role focuses on the design and governance of scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure across public cloud, hybrid, and supporting on-prem environments.
• The Infrastructure Architect ensures cloud and infrastructure solutions are aligned with business objectives, IT strategy, and operational requirements.
• Serving as the architectural authority for infrastructure, the role translates business, application, and operational needs into cloud‑forward designs that emphasize automation, elasticity, security, and cost optimization.
• The Infrastructure Architect establishes cloud architecture standards, reference designs, and patterns that enable consistent adoption of cloud services while supporting reliability, performance, and compliance requirements.
• Working closely with the Director of Infrastructure Architecture, VP of Infrastructure & Operations (I&O), and technology leadership, the Infrastructure Architect plays a key role in shaping cloud strategy and major technology investments.

Requirements

• Educational Background: Preferably a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
• Professional Experience: At least ten years in IT, with a minimum of five years in senior IT technical role.
• Solution Design and Implementation: Proven expertise in designing and implementing enterprise-grade solutions with comprehensive documentation and strategic plans.
• Cloud Platforms & Services: Strong experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure, with a focus on Azure and supporting hybrid environments.
• Application & Platform Infrastructure: Solid understanding of application platforms and middleware (e.g., application servers, web servers, platform services), with the ability to design scalable and resilient runtime environments.
• Virtualization & Cloud Infrastructure: Experience with virtualization and cloud infrastructure technologies (e.g., IaC, IaaS, PaaS), including capacity planning and platform design.
• Containers & Orchestration: Practical experience designing and supporting containerized platforms using Docker and Kubernetes, including platform architecture and operational considerations.
• Operating Systems: Deep understanding of Linux/UNIX operating systems (e.g., Red Hat, AIX), including performance, security, and lifecycle management.
• DevOps & Automation: Experience supporting or enabling DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and infrastructure-as-code approaches.
• Data Platforms (Architectural Level): Working knowledge of relational database technologies and data platforms, including OLTP and data warehousing architectures, from an infrastructure and scalability perspective.
• Networking & Connectivity: Strong understanding of enterprise and cloud networking concepts, including routing, segmentation, load balancing, and secure connectivity.
• Security Architecture: Solid understanding of security principles, frameworks, and controls as they apply to cloud and infrastructure design.
• AI Platform Infrastructure: Experience designing and governing cloud‑based AI platform infrastructure (e.g., Azure AI platforms), including landing zone integration, network isolation, identity and RBAC, platform security controls, model governance enablement, and operational monitoring.
• API Management Platforms: Experience designing and governing API management infrastructure (e.g., Azure API Management) with a focus on security, identity integration, network architecture, resiliency, scalability, observability, and operational supportability.
