Agentic Cloud Architect
First seen by Alion on Sep 21, 2026.
About the Role :
We are hiring a Cloud Architect to design, govern, and continuously optimise the AWS cloud estate from internal development tooling to a portfolio of customer-facing SaaS products acquired from multiple companies.
This is not a single-product infrastructure role. You will define the AWS Landing Zone architecture that governs how every environment - development, QA, non-production, internal IT, and customer-facing SaaS - is structured, secured, and operated.
What you'll do :
- Design and own AWS Landing Zone - multi-account architecture, OU hierarchy, and account vending standards.
- Author and enforce Service Control Policies (SCPs) across all environment tiers.
- Own the end-to-end infrastructure architecture across the full product portfolio.
- Define Infrastructure-as-Code standards (Terraform or AWS CDK).
- Own network, application, and data security across the entire cloud estate.
- Build and own the observability stack on AWS using Prometheus and Grafana.
- Author precise, unambiguous runbooks for operational scenarios.
- Deploy AI agents for APM monitoring, deployment health checks, and anomaly detection.
What we're looking for :
- 12+ years in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, SRE, or DevOps.
- AWS Solutions Architect Associate certification is a minimum requirement; Professional is strongly preferred.
- Proven experience designing and operating AWS Landing Zones using AWS Organizations.
- Deep, hands-on expertise across core AWS services : EC2, EKS, RDS, Lambda, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, CloudWatch, IAM, VPC, Transit Gateway, AWS Control Tower.
- Strong command of network, application, and data security in a multi-account AWS context.
- Experience building and operating observability stacks using Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent.
- Practical exposure to agentic AI, LLM-based automation, or AI-assisted infrastructure operations.
