Cloud Architect

About DataStealth:
DataStealth is a single,
unified data security platform (DSP)
that discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data across your entire environment, from on-premise to legacy cloud to cloud; wherever your data lives or flows, we protect it. We do this without requiring complex integrations or changes to your existing applications, ensuring security that enables, rather than hinders, your business. By seamlessly applying data protection strategies, such as tokenization, we ensure that even if your perimeter is breached, your data remains unusable if it falls into the wrong hands.

Recognized for the fifth consecutive year as a
Great Place to Work
, we are one of the world's leading and fastest growing cybersecurity software companies. Our team is the best in the business. Our patented technology provides our large enterprise customers with the ability to solve complex data security problems with a paradigm shifting technology that can actually solve problems.

About You:
We are looking for an experienced Cloud Architect to lead the design, implementation, and evolution of our cloud infrastructure and platform strategy. You will be a key technical leader responsible for shaping our cloud architecture vision—with AWS as the primary platform, while also bringing multi-cloud expertise (GCP, Azure) as a plus.

Position Overview:
This role is designed for a senior, strategic Cloud Architect who has built large-scale cloud platforms, defined multi-account AWS strategies, and shaped enterprise architecture standards. You will own the long-term cloud vision, create the blueprint for our next-generation infrastructure, and guide engineering teams in building secure, scalable, and resilient cloud-native systems.

This is not a DevOps or SRE role.

This is a platform architecture & system design leadership position.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define the Enterprise Cloud Architecture Vision
• Develop and own DataStealth's AWS cloud architecture roadmap.
• Create and govern reference architectures for all platform components.
• Drive architectural decision-making across engineering and IT leadership.
• Lead Platform-Scale AWS Architecture
• Design large-scale distributed systems using:
• EKS/ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, CloudFront, VPC networking
• Multi-account patterns, landing zones, identity architecture (IAM), and data security models
• High-availability, multi-region, and disaster-recovery architectures
• Architecture Governance & Standards
• Establish architecture principles, cloud design patterns, and technical guardrails.
• Oversee architectural reviews, threat models, scalability plans, and long-term system evolution.
• Ensure designs meet compliance requirements (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR).
• Modernization Leadership
• Lead modernization from monolithic systems to event-driven or microservices architectures.
• Shape migration strategies, domain boundaries, and service decomposition plans.
• Provide architectural oversight during complex cloud transformation initiatives.
• Technical Leadership Across Engineering
• Coach teams on architectural best practices, cloud-native design, and distributed systems.
• Guide solution design for new features, services, and platform capabilities.
• Partner with IT Ops and SRE teams (not own their work) to ensure operational excellence.
• Strategic Evaluation of Emerging Technologies
• Assess new AWS services, architectural frameworks, and patterns.
• Recommend innovations that improve scalability, resilience, and cost efficiency.
• Drive continuous improvement of our cloud posture.

Qualifications
Cloud Architecture Expertise

• 5+ years leading architectural design of large-scale, production-grade AWS systems.
• Proven experience designing multi-account, secure, scalable distributed systems.
• Strong foundation in cloud networking, identity, zero-trust, and data protection strategies.

Architecture + Engineering Depth

• Hands-on understanding of microservices, API design, event-driven architectures.
• Ability to create system diagrams, data-flow models, and architectural decision records.
• Experience with IaC (Terraform, CDK) as part of architecture governance—not as a primary function.

Security & Compliance Architecture

• Strong knowledge of IAM, encryption models, cloud security frameworks, and regulatory controls.
• Communication & Leadership
• Exceptional ability to articulate architectural decisions to executives and engineering teams.
• Comfortable leading design reviews, mentoring engineers, and setting long-term direction.

Nice to Have:

• Awareness of Azure/GCP cloud architecture.
• Experience in highly regulated sectors or data-intensive enterprise platforms.
