Join an inclusive, collaborative Business Technology team as a Principal Cloud Architect in Abb Vie BTS. In this role, you will serve as a technical visionary, shaping enterprise cloud strategy and driving innovation in a global, highly regulated environment. You’ll lead the design and implementation of cloud-native architectures-primarily on AWS-while ensuring alignment with business objectives. Partnering with multidisciplinary teams and specialized architects in Security, Data, Network, Application, and UX, you will integrate cloud solutions across Enterprise Architecture to enhance product delivery and accelerate adoption of modern platforms.

• Define, drive, and continually refine the enterprise cloud architecture strategy, ensuring alignment with organizational vision, business objectives, and compliance standards (i.e., GxP).
• Lead the architecture, design, and hands-on implementation of secure, resilient, and scalable AWS-centered solutions, leveraging strategic use of services such as EC2, S3, ECS, EKS, Lambda, Aurora, Dynamo
  
  DB, RDS, and Event Bridge.
• Develop, evaluate, and endorse architectural diagrams and comprehensive documentation for cloud solutions, ensuring alignment with best practices and collaboration across technical and business stakeholders.
• Oversee design and automation of cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Cloud Formation, AWS CDK, Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible), fostering reliable, repeatable cloud deployments at scale.
• Lead the strategic architecture for multicloud and hybrid data platforms-primarily AWS (Glue, Athena, Redshift) and Azure Data Lake-defining standards, governance, and engineering patterns for regulated analytics pipelines and enterprise data lakes leveraging technologies such as Spark, Databricks Lakehouse, and cloud native services.
• Drive Dev Ops & automation excellence: design, implement, and govern robust CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Git Lab CI, Git Hub Actions, Circle
  
  CI, Azure Dev Ops, AWS Code Pipeline/Code Build), ensuring efficient application delivery and automated infrastructure management.
• Champion the AWS Well-Architected Framework by embedding its pillars (operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization) into enterprise practice and conducting regular reviews for continuous improvement.
• Lead the strategic architecture for containerized (EKS, ECS, Fargate) and serverless (Lambda, Step Functions, Event Bridge) platforms, setting direction, standards, and decision frameworks that enable scalable and cost efficient microservices, batch, and event driven systems.
• Ensure robust security and compliance within all cloud implementations, including access controls (IAM), data encryption, management of validated environments, and close collaboration with compliance and audit teams.
• Architect solutions for modernization and migration of on-premises applications, data, and infrastructure to scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud-native solutions, leveraging automation, best practices, and compliance standards throughout the process.
• Set the strategic direction for cloud guardrails-spanning landing zones, account and network patterns, IAM boundaries, encryption, logging, tagging, and policyascode-to ensure enterprisealigned risk, security, and compliance across AWS and Azure.
• Serve as a technical authority and mentor-influencing stakeholders, guiding engineers, and reviewing designs to raise the overall architecture bar.
• Architect observability solutions with best practices from the industry
• Use AI/MCP-enabled capabilities to quickly validate cloud designs, enable guided…
