Overview

Senior Cloud Architect role setting and evolving architectural direction for Carrier's cloud platform across AWS, GCP, and Azure, working horizontally across the product portfolio.

What you'll do

• Define and evolve reference architectures and design patterns across AWS, GCP, and Azure covering compute, storage, networking, identity, and data services that product teams reuse.
• Establish architectural standards and guardrails for security, resilience, and cost efficiency, and ensure they are applied consistently across the product portfolio.
• Translate architectural decisions into Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD pipelines so designs are repeatable, versioned, and easy to adopt.
• Lead architecture reviews and provide technical direction on design trade-offs, with a focus on security posture, reliability, and total cost of ownership.
• Partner with Security to embed controls into platform designs, including identity and access management, encryption, network segmentation, and policy-as-code guardrails.
• Partner with FinOps to design cost-aware architectures, set tagging and accountability standards, and build cost efficiency into solutions from the start.
• Partner with Enterprise Architecture leaders to establish architecture patterns and best practices across the Enterprise.
• Define standards for observability and operational readiness so that solutions are monitored, supportable, and resilient in production.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to product teams, mentoring engineers and guiding them in adopting standardized cloud patterns and best practices.

What you'll need

• 10+ years in cloud or infrastructure engineering, with at least 6 years in a cloud architecture role designing solutions on AWS and/or GCP.
• Deep, hands-on understanding of core cloud services across compute, storage, networking, identity, and data, with the ability to design solutions that are secure, resilient, and cost effective.
• Proven experience defining reference architectures, design patterns, and guardrails that multiple teams adopt and reuse.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/OpenTofu) and version control (GitHub), including how to structure code for reuse across teams.
• Deep expertise in cloud security fundamentals, including identity and access management, encryption, and policy-as-code approaches to governance.
• Proven ability to document, communicate, and govern complex designs, and to influence technical direction across multiple teams.

Nice to have

• Experience architecting across multiple cloud providers in a large enterprise spanning multiple business units and geographies.
• Familiarity with FinOps practices and cloud cost management tooling, and a track record of building cost efficiency into architectural decisions.
• Exposure to cloud governance frameworks such as AWS Control Tower or GCP Organization Policies, and to policy-as-code tooling.
• Professional certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect Professional or Google Professional Cloud Architect.
• Experience mentoring engineers and influencing architectural direction across large enterprise organizations.
