We work with industry-leading organizations to design, build, and operationalize technology solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.\nFollowing the acquisition of Tooploox, a premier AI and product development company, Solvd now offers true end-to-end delivery -from strategic advisory and solution design to custom AI development and enterprise-scale implementation. Our capability centers combine deep technical expertise, proven delivery methodologies, and sector-specific knowledge to address complex business challenges quickly and effectively.\nSolvd Cloud, Infra, Data & Security is growing fast, and our architecture leadership needs to keep up. We need someone who can take an unclear problem, define it, design the answer, and make sure it ships. You'll set technical direction across cloud, infrastructure, and data. You'll shape engagements and roadmaps before they're committed. And you'll stay close enough to delivery that what we design is what gets built. We operate AI-first: you'll use AI as a daily tool to move faster and multiply what you and the teams around you can deliver.\nThere will be ambiguity. That's the job. The plans don't exist yet, and you'll help write them.\nWhy this role, why now:\nYou'll help define the business, not inherit it. The Cloud BU is rapidly scaling. The patterns, standards, and team habits you set now become how we operate.\n\nThe scope is broad on purpose. It covers cloud foundations, Kubernetes platforms, data, and AI workloads, so you won't be boxed into one layer.\n\nDecisions move quickly. You'll work directly with BU leadership, and decisions take days, not quarters.\n\nThe problems are current. The work is getting AI workloads into production safely, building data platforms that are governed, and keeping cloud spend under control.\n\nWhat you'll own:\nArchitecture direction. You'll define reference architectures, landing zones, and standards across AWS and Azure, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code. You'll decide what we standardize and what we leave flexible.\n\nData and AI platforms. You'll design lakehouse and warehouse, streaming, and governance patterns. You'll also design the platform layer that moves GenAI and agentic workloads from prototype to production, covering access control, evaluation, observability, and cost guardrails.\n\nSolution shaping. You'll lead technical discovery, size and de-risk the work, and write the solution designs and technical scope that teams commit to.\n\nAI-accelerated delivery. You'll use AI tools across the architecture lifecycle: discovery synthesis, design drafts, IaC and code generation, review, documentation, and estimation. You'll turn what works into repeatable patterns and prompts the team adopts. You'll also set the guardrails for how AI is used with client and production data.\n\nSecurity and compliance by design. You'll own IAM, network segmentation, secrets management, and logging. Your designs need to hold up to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and regulated-industry scrutiny without slowing delivery down.\n\nCost and operability. Every design ships with a run cost, reliability targets, an observability plan, and a rollback path.\n\nRaising the bar. You'll run design reviews, mentor architects and senior engineers, and turn repeat solutions into reusable accelerators.\n\nWhat you bring:\nHave 12+ years in infrastructure, cloud, or data engineering, including several years as the accountable architect for production systems at scale.\nHave deep hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure, production Kubernetes, and Terraform (or an equivalent IaC tool). You can still review a pull request credibly.\nHave designed and shipped modern data platforms, such as [Databricks / Snowflake / Fabric / Redshift], including governance and data quality, not just pipelines.\n\nThink security-first. IAM design, zero-trust networking, encryption, and audit readiness are defaults for you, not afterthoughts.\n\nUse AI as a force multiplier, not a novelty. You can show concrete examples of AI shortening your delivery timelines or expanding your output. You also know where it fails, and you verify what it produces before anything reaches production.\n\nCan explain a tradeoff to a CFO in the morning and debug it with an engineer in the afternoon.\n\nAct under ambiguity. You write the first draft of the plan instead of waiting to be handed one, then adjust it as you learn.\n\nNice to have\nYou've put GenAI or LLM systems into production (RAG, evaluation, guardrails, agent orchestration).\n\nYou have multi-cloud or hybrid experience at enterprise scale.\n\nYou've worked in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare, or the public sector.\n\nYou hold AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or CKA. These help but aren't required.\n\nYou've built an architecture practice or center of excellence from an early stage.\n\nWhen you join Solvd, you'll…\nShape real-world AI-driven projects across key industries, working with clients from startup innovation to enterprise transformation.\n\nBe part of a global team with equal opportunities for collaboration across continents and cultures.\n\nThrive in an inclusive environment that prioritizes continuous learning, innovation, and ethical AI standards.\n\nReady to make an impact?\nIf you're excited to build things that matter, champion responsible AI, and grow with some of the industry’s sharpest minds. Apply today and let’s innovate together.\nSolvd is an equal opportunity employer.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5660,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":12,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Commerce","Consumer Goods","LLM & Generative AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T00:56:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":48,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-09T04:53:02Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/solvd-principal-solutions-architect-cloud-infrastructure-data","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/solvd-principal-solutions-architect-cloud-infrastructure-data.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-09T04:53:02Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4969,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":31,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":9288},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=9288"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsolvd-principal-solutions-architect-cloud-infrastructure-data"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsolvd-principal-solutions-architect-cloud-infrastructure-data"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsolvd-principal-solutions-architect-cloud-infrastructure-data"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/solvd-principal-solutions-architect-cloud-infrastructure-data\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsolvd-principal-solutions-architect-cloud-infrastructure-data"}]}
