Cloud Architect

About the Role

Quantiphi is seeking a Cloud Architect to lead strategic cloud migration engagements for clients in Canada. The role focuses on defining end-to-end migration roadmaps, target-state architecture, and secure, scalable cloud platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP. You will work closely with client stakeholders and engineering teams to drive large-scale VMware-to-public-cloud transformations.

What You'll Do

• Lead strategic discussions with client stakeholders to define the end-to-end migration roadmap, including target state architecture, cloud platform selection, and integration patterns.
• Conduct comprehensive assessments of the existing on-prem VMware infrastructure to identify architectural challenges, interdependencies, and migration risks, providing expert recommendations for mitigation.
• Establish and govern a set of cloud architecture principles and migration best practices. Author and maintain technical design documents that enforce security, scalability, and operational excellence.
• Design and implement robust cloud network and security frameworks, integrating Palo Alto Solutions to protect migrated workloads and ensure seamless connectivity between on-prem and cloud environments.
• Actively participate in and oversee the hands-on execution of migrating virtual machines and complex application workloads to the designated public cloud platforms (ROSA, AWS, Azure, GCP).

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrable, in-depth experience architecting solutions across multiple major public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP).
• Extensive, hands-on experience leading and executing large-scale VMware-to-public-cloud transformation projects.
• Expert-level knowledge of containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes) and container orchestration platforms, with specific experience in OpenShift Container Platform and container migration strategies.
• Strong proficiency in designing and implementing cloud network security controls, with specific experience using Palo Alto Networks solutions in a cloud context.
• Excellent communication and consulting skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have

• Professional-level cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect - Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, Google Professional Cloud Architect).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
• Proven expertise in architecting CI/CD pipelines, automating application deployments, and orchestrating cloud infrastructure provisioning.
