Enterprise Architect - Cloud

Job Description

Certifications AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional — required, or clearly demonstrated equivalent expert-level skill.

Microsoft Certified:
Azure Solutions Architect Expert — required, or clearly demonstrated equivalent expert-level skill.

Google Professional Cloud Architect — strongly preferred.

TOGAF 9/10 or equivalent enterprise architecture certification — beneficial.

Fin Ops Certified Practitioner — beneficial.

Adjacent Technical Skills (Beneficial, Not Required)
Depth in the specialist area above is mandatory. Experience in the following adjacent domains is a strong plus and will be valued in candidate evaluation, since it enables broader solution ownership across engagements.

Networking (routing/switching, SD-WAN) given the centrality of hybrid connectivity to this role.

Virtualization platforms (VMware, Red Hat Open Shift/Open Stack) as common migration source environments.

Security architecture, particularly zero trust and cloud security posture management.

Containers and Kubernetes depth beyond managed-service operation.

Data platform and analytics services across the hyperscalers (data lakes, warehousing, streaming).AI/ML cloud services, given the growing overlap between cloud migration and AI platform enablement.

Leadership & Delivery Expectations Leads technical delivery independently and acts as the final technical authority on cloud and migration decisions for an engagement.

Mentors other cloud architects and engineers across multiple hyperscaler platforms.

Navigates multi-vendor, multi-cloud complexity confidently, translating it into a clear, risk-managed migration roadmap for clients.

Communicates cloud strategy and migration risk clearly to both hands-on engineering teams and infrastructure leadership.

Comfortable owning migration cutover windows and the associated risk management.

Role Summary World Wide Technology is looking for a deeply technical Enterprise Architect who specialises in cloud and is genuinely fluent across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and equally comfortable designing the hybrid architectures and migration programmes that move clients from on-premises infrastructure into the cloud, and operate confidently in between.

This is a hands-on architecture and delivery role, not a single-cloud specialism. The successful candidate will own the technical delivery of cloud transformation engagements end to end - landing zone design, migration strategy and execution, hybrid connectivity, security, and cost governance acting as the single point of technical accountability from design through to go-live.

While broad, credible depth across hyperscalers and migration methodology is the core requirement, WWT engagements regularly extend into adjacent domains - networking, virtualization, security, and data and experience in these areas is a genuine advantage for this role.

Key Responsibilities Own end-to-end technical delivery of cloud architecture engagements: design authority, low-level design, migration execution, and post-go-live optimisation.

Host and chair Architecture Review Board (ARB) and Technical Design Authority (TDA) sessions for cloud engagements, owning governance gates, decision records, and design sign-off.

Architect multi-cloud solutions spanning AWS, Azure, and GCP across compute, storage, networking, and identity, selecting the right platform and services for each workload.

Lead migration strategy and execution for on-premises to cloud programmes: workload assessment against the 6 R's (rehost, replatform, repurchase, refactor, retire, retain), dependency mapping, wave planning, and low-downtime cutover.

Design hybrid cloud architectures connecting on-premises data centres to cloud environments, including dedicated connectivity, hybrid identity, and hybrid DNS/name resolution.

Define cloud landing zone and foundation…
