We are seeking a Cloud Solutions Architect to lead architectural design across our enterprise cloud estate in Riyadh. You will own architectural decisions for new services, drive cloud-cost optimisation, and partner with engineering leads on infrastructure-as-code adoption.
The role covers both AWS and Azure, with a heavy lean on AWS for production workloads. You will sit in the technical leadership group and have direct input on technology selection, vendor evaluation, and our multi-region strategy as we expand to comply with new data-residency requirements.
We value architects who balance theoretical correctness with operational pragmatism, who can debug a misbehaving service when it matters, and who keep cost discipline and security as ongoing concerns rather than afterthoughts.
