This role brings together architecture strategy, enterprise security governance, pre-sales support, and client advisory. The architect will work closely with account teams, CIS delivery leadership, cloud engineers, security specialists, and client stakeholders to modernize technology landscapes and turn complex requirements into workable roadmaps.\nKey Responsibilities\nArchitecture blueprint and strategy: Design future-ready multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure architectures across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, with a clear focus on scalability, resilience, security, and cost efficiency.\nEnterprise standards: Define and maintain architecture roadmaps, reference architectures, compliance blueprints, reusable frameworks, and design standards across client and Zensar environments.\nEmerging technology adoption: Evaluate and introduce relevant capabilities such as FinOps platforms, AI-led infrastructure automation, serverless patterns, edge computing, and cloud-native operations where they create measurable value.\nSecurity by design: Embed Zero Trust principles into infrastructure architecture, including IAM design, network segmentation, encryption standards, privileged access controls, and secure landing zones.\nRegulatory compliance: Ensure architectures are aligned to applicable frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and client-specific security obligations.\nThreat mitigation and resilience: Architect proactive security postures using cloud-native SIEM/SOAR, automated vulnerability management, disaster recovery, business continuity, and operational resilience practices.\nBusiness growth and client advisory: Partner with account teams to identify opportunities across CIS and non-CIS clients, including modernization, migration, DevSecOps, SRE, containerization, and platform engineering opportunities.\nPre-sales leadership: Lead technical workshops, contribute to RFP responses, develop solution narratives, create high-level effort estimates, and present architecture recommendations to senior client stakeholders.\nTechnical leadership: Mentor cloud engineers, security specialists, infrastructure teams, and operations leads while strengthening reusable architecture assets and delivery accelerators.\nKey Qualifications and Skills\nCloud platforms: Expert-level working knowledge of at least two major public cloud platforms, preferably AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.\nInfrastructure as Code: Strong architecture experience with Terraform, Ansible, OpenTofu, AWS CloudFormation, Azure Bicep, or equivalent cloud-native automation tools.\nDevSecOps integration: Proven experience integrating automated security scanning, SAST/DAST, secrets management, policy-as-code, continuous monitoring, and compliance controls into CI/CD pipelines.\nLegacy modernization: Deep experience guiding enterprises from legacy data center environments to public cloud, hybrid cloud, or modern platform-based operating models.\nEnterprise security: Strong understanding of Zero Trust, IAM, network security, encryption, threat detection, vulnerability management, DR/BCP, and secure cloud foundations.\nExecutive communication: Ability to translate complex engineering, risk, and security topics into clear business language for senior technology and business stakeholders.\nLeadership and mentoring: Experience leading, coaching, and upskilling cross-functional teams across cloud engineering, infrastructure, security, operations, and service management.\nEducation and Certifications\nBachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline. Equivalent industry experience may be considered for senior architect roles.\nAny two to three relevant certifications are preferred, such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional, AWS Certified Security - Specialty, Microsoft Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure Security Engineer Associate, CISSP, CCSP, TOGAF 9.x/10, or SAFe Architect certification.\nPreferred Attributes\nStrategic thinker with the ability to balance architecture quality, delivery practicality, security posture, and commercial outcomes.\nStrong client presence, with the confidence to lead discovery workshops, challenge assumptions, and guide senior stakeholders toward workable decisions.\nComfortable working across global teams, distributed delivery models, and complex enterprise environments.\nOutcome-focused approach, with the ability to simplify complexity and move from strategy to actionable architecture roadmaps.\nCuriosity for emerging technology, automation, AI-led operations, FinOps, and modern engineering practices.\nPerformance Measures\nQuality, practicality, and adoption of enterprise architecture roadmaps, reference designs, and cloud modernization strategies.\nEffectiveness of client advisory, technical workshops, proposal support, and executive-level solution presentations.\nArchitecture compliance with security, regulatory, resilience, and cost-optimization expectations.\nContribution to account growth through modernization opportunities, value-added services, reusable assets, and differentiated solution thinking.\nCapability uplift across cloud, infrastructure, security, automation, and DevSecOps teams through mentoring and architecture governance.\n Key Responsibilities\nArchitecture blueprint and strategy: Design future-ready multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure architectures across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, with a clear focus on scalability, resilience, security, and cost efficiency.\n\nEnterprise standards: Define and maintain architecture roadmaps, reference architectures, compliance blueprints, reusable frameworks, and design standards across client and Zensar environments.\n\nEmerging technology adoption: Evaluate and introduce relevant capabilities such as FinOps platforms, AI-led infrastructure automation, serverless patterns, edge computing, and cloud-native operations where they create measurable value.\n\nSecurity by design: Embed Zero Trust principles into infrastructure architecture, including IAM design, network segmentation, encryption standards, privileged access controls, and secure landing zones.\n\nRegulatory compliance: Ensure architectures are aligned to applicable frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and client-specific security obligations.\n\nThreat mitigation and resilience: Architect proactive security postures using cloud-native SIEM/SOAR, automated vulnerability management, disaster recovery, business continuity, and operational resilience practices.\n\nBusiness growth and client advisory: Partner with account teams to identify opportunities across CIS and non-CIS clients, including modernization, migration, DevSecOps, SRE, containerization, and platform engineering opportunities.\n\nPre-sales leadership: Lead technical workshops, contribute to RFP responses, develop solution narratives, create high-level effort estimates, and present architecture recommendations to senior client stakeholders.\n\n Education and Certifications\nBachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
