This Principal role brings together cloud migration leadership, infrastructure architecture, automation, security remediation, and FinOps enablement into a single senior technical authority. What You’ll Do
Cloud Migration & Architecture Leadership

• 
  Lead the migration and modernization of a large portfolio of applications and databases from AWS to GCP and Azure, ensuring reliability, security, and minimal disruption.
• 
  Design target-state architectures and migration patterns that balance scalability, resilience, cost, and operational simplicity.
• 
  Evaluate cloud-native services and guide architectural tradeoffs across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
• 
  Establish reference architectures, landing zone standards, and platform patterns used across the organization.

Infrastructure as Code & Platform Automation

• Architect, build, and maintain complex, reusable Infrastructure-as-Code solutions using Terraform and Terragrunt.
• Develop Python and Bash automation to support infrastructure lifecycle management, migrations, governance, and operational workflows.
• Drive consistency and quality through shared modules, versioning strategies, and code review standards.
• Integrate IaC and automation into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and related tooling.

Containers, CI/CD & Modernization

• Drive containerization and platform adoption using Docker and Kubernetes, enabling scalable and resilient application deployments.
• Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines that support fast, safe, and repeatable infrastructure and application delivery.
• Improve observability, reliability, and operability through automation and standardized tooling.

Security, Compliance & Governance (SecOps)

• Build automation and guardrails to remediate security findings and enforce configuration baselines across all cloud providers.
• Partner closely with Security teams to embed security best practices into IaC, pipelines, and platform standards.
• Support continuous compliance through asset discovery, inventory management, and policy validation tooling.

FinOps Enablement (Equal Focus)

• Incorporate cost awareness and financial accountability into infrastructure design, migrations, and automation.
• Support tagging standards, cost allocation models, and usage visibility across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
• Partner with FinOps and Finance teams to ensure infrastructure decisions reflect both technical and financial best practices.

Operational Excellence & Technical Leadership

• Provide hands-on Linux system administration, performance tuning, and troubleshooting when needed.
• Maintain high-quality documentation, runbooks, and architectural decision records.
• Serve as a principal-level mentor and technical leader through design reviews, code reviews, and cross-team collaboration.
• Champion best practices, consistency, and long-term maintainability across all infrastructure efforts.
