Job Description
As a Senior Solutions Architect, you will be instrumental in designing, implementing, and optimizing robust, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure for our diverse client base and internal platforms. You will translate complex business requirements into technical solutions, leveraging state-of-the-art cloud technologies. Your expertise will guide engineering teams in adopting best practices for infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and microservices architecture. This role involves close collaboration with product development, operations, and security teams to ensure seamless integration and high availability.
Key responsibilities include: designing and architecting highly available, fault-tolerant, and secure cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP); developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation; establishing and managing CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment and testing; leading the adoption of containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes; providing technical guidance and mentorship to engineering teams; troubleshooting complex infrastructure issues and implementing solutions; evaluating and recommending new cloud services and technologies; ensuring compliance with security best practices and regulatory requirements; and documenting architectural designs and operational procedures.
The ideal candidate will possess a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, with a Master's degree or equivalent experience preferred. A minimum of 7 years of experience in infrastructure engineering, with at least 4 years focused on cloud architecture and design, is required. Deep expertise in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) is essential, along with strong proficiency in IaC tools and CI/CD best practices. Hands-on experience with container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm) and microservices architecture is critical. Excellent understanding of networking concepts, security principles, and system administration is a must. Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) and configuration management tools is highly desirable. You should possess strong problem-solving abilities, excellent communication skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, remote-first environment. Certifications like AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional or equivalent are a strong plus. This role is based in Thika, Kiambu, KE , but requires full remote execution.
