Cloud & DevOps Architect

Quick Facts

• Role: Cloud & DevOps Architect

• Focus: AWS infrastructure, DevOps/Platform Engineering, Disaster Recovery, and API Management (customer-facing and hands-on)

Description

Lead architecture and hands-on technical delivery across complex client engagements spanning cloud infrastructure, DevOps, Platform Engineering, Disaster Recovery, and API Management. You will turn ambiguous requirements into architecture decisions, phased plans, and acceptance criteria, and remain directly involved in implementation, review, and troubleshooting.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as technical lead and trusted advisor for client engagements across cloud infrastructure, applications, data, integrations, security, observability and operations.

• Convert ambiguous requirements into architecture decisions, delivery scope, estimates, dependencies, risks and acceptance criteria.

• Lead difficult client discussions, challenge assumptions, secure decisions and keep delivery moving despite uncertainty.

• Coordinate engineers and stakeholders across parallel workstreams; translate architecture into implementable work and review technical deliverables.

• Design resilient AWS and Disaster Recovery architectures covering high availability, cross-region or cross-account recovery, backup and restore, replication, failover, failback and RTO/RPO trade-offs.

• Define Terraform and Infrastructure as Code foundations and governance, including repositories, reusable modules, state management, multi-environment configuration, CI/CD, drift detection and safe brownfield adoption.

• Design cloud-native API Management platforms based on Gravitee, Kubernetes and Helm, including topology, scaling, networking, security, storage, observability and upgrade strategies.

• Define controlled Git-based delivery workflows for infrastructure, platform components, API definitions and API Management configuration.

• Stay hands-on by creating or reviewing Terraform code, Helm charts, Kubernetes resources and pipelines; build proofs-of-concept and troubleshoot cross-layer issues.

• Lead Disaster Recovery exercises, restore and failover tests, and platform readiness reviews.

• Prepare architecture documentation (ADRs, standards, runbooks, test reports) and lead technical handover and client enablement (occasional on-site support).

Benefits

• High autonomy and real influence on technical decisions and delivery.

• Collaboration with experienced architects and engineers.

• Opportunities to work with international clients and modern cloud-native technologies.

Remuneration

• 1,400–1,600 PLN net/day on a B2B contract

• 22,000–25,000 PLN gross/month on an employment agreement (UoP)
