About the Role
As a Cloud Infrastructure Architect, you will make an impact by designing, modernizing, and securing scalable cloud environments that power our clients' digital transformation journeys. You will be a valued member of the Cloud & Infrastructure practice, working collaboratively with enterprise architects, security teams, and delivery leads to define and execute cloud strategies across public, private, and hybrid environments.
In This Role, You Will:
Architect scalable, highly available, and fault-tolerant cloud environments, designing solutions across public, private, and hybrid cloud platforms (AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP).
Lead the migration and modernization strategy for transitioning legacy on-premises systems and applications to the cloud, ensuring minimal business disruption.
Design and implement robust security controls, data protection measures, and disaster recovery plans in full alignment with compliance and regulatory requirements.
Drive cost optimization initiatives by monitoring cloud consumption, enforcing resource sizing best practices, and ensuring effective budget management across cloud environments.
Define and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) frameworks using tools such as Terraform and Ansible to automate provisioning and configuration management.
Work Model
We believe hybrid work is the way forward as we strive to provide flexibility wherever possible. Based on this role's business requirements, this is a hybrid position requiring presence in a Cognizant or client office in the Netherlands on agreed days per week. Regardless of your working arrangement, we are here to support a healthy work-life balance through our various wellbeing programs.
The working arrangements for this role are accurate as of the date of posting. This may change based on the project you're engaged in, as well as business and client requirements. Rest assured, we will always be clear about role expectations.
What You Need to Have to Be Considered
Advanced proficiency in one or more major cloud platforms: AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with hands-on architectural experience.
Deep knowledge of networking, virtualization, and modern containerization technologies including Kubernetes and Docker.
Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, particularly Terraform and/or Ansible.
Proven track record of leading cloud migration programmes, including assessment, planning, and execution phases.
Solid understanding of cloud security architecture, including identity & access management, encryption, and compliance frameworks.
These Will Help You Stand Out
Cloud certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Professional Cloud Architect.
Experience with FinOps practices and cloud cost governance tooling.
Familiarity with DevOps/DevSecOps practices and CI/CD pipeline integration with cloud infrastructure.
Knowledge of hybrid cloud networking concepts including VPN, Direct Connect, or ExpressRoute.
We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed.
