You will maintain our service catalog, design architectural blueprints, establish the observability standard, and — most distinctively — bring hands-on LLM-driven tooling skills to a team actively shaping what the next generation of cloud operations looks like.This is a senior individual-contributor role reporting to the Cloud Architect Manager (who reports to the CIO), with direct CIO-adjacent visibility. You will sit at the intersection of platform engineering and technology strategy, contributing to platform roadmap decisions — not just executing them. The team is small, ownership is total, and iteration cycles are short. You will be expected to resolve ambiguity, align expectations, and establish technical clarity across a diverse group of stakeholders.Time allocation (approximate):~40% LLM-driven tooling & workflow design | ~30% architecture & catalog governance | ~20%observability | ~10% collaboration & documentationKey ResponsibilitiesService Catalog & Platform GovernanceBuild and maintain a minimalistic, opinionated service catalog of approved cloud components across Google Cloud and AzureApply a serverless-first, PaaS-first philosophy — challenge complexity and push back onunnecessary infrastructure sprawlFor every approved catalog entry, deliver production-ready configuration: IaC, security baseline,observability hooks, and runbookScrutinise every new component request and justify its addition in terms of cost, operational overhead, and platform alignmentCloud ArchitectureDefine, document, and govern cloud architectural blueprints across networking, compute, storage and data layersDesign event-driven pipelines that trigger AI-assisted validation, drift detection, and deployment gatesServe as the technical authority on platform design decisions within your domainLLM-Driven OperationsImplement LLM-based automated deployment capabilities using tools such as OpenCode, Claude Code, or equivalent frameworksDesign and operate infrastructure workflows augmented by AI agents — from deployment validation to configuration drift detectionStay ahead of the market in AI-assisted tooling and bring relevant innovations into the platformObservabilityDefine the observability standard: structured logging, distributed tracing, alerting, dashboards, and SLO/SLA frameworksEstablish platform-level KPIs and ensure consistent adoption across engineering teamsCollaborationPartner with DevOps and Engineering teams to embed platform standards into delivery pipelinesPartner with SecOps to integrate all controls and security requirementsDocument everything: blueprints, ADRs, runbooks, onboarding guidesWhat you need to fulfill the roleRequired Skills & QualificationsYou have operated multi-cloud Kubernetes environments in production, built IaC pipelines with Terraform and have hands-on experience with LLM-driven tooling in real engineering workflows.
