We are looking for an experienced Cloud Technical Architect to help customers design and implement secure, scalable and future-proof cloud solutions within the T-Systems Public Cloud environment.
You will translate business requirements into technical architectures and advise customers on key decisions around cloud platforms, networking, security, migration and cost optimization.
A strong understanding of TCP/IP and networking is essential, as networking forms a critical foundation of the platform and is comparable in complexity to hyperscalers such as AWS.
Key Responsibilities
- Design end-to-end cloud architectures within T-Systems Public Cloud
- Translate business requirements into scalable, secure and future-proof solutions
- Design and implement landing zones and reusable architectural patterns
- Advise customers on platform choices, cost optimization, risks and time-to-market
- Lead technical discussions with stakeholders ranging from C-level to engineering teams
- Ensure architectures meet security, compliance and performance requirements
- Support cloud migration strategies, including rehost, replatform and refactor
- Design integrations with existing on-premise and hybrid IT environments
- Contribute throughout the full lifecycle, from strategy and architecture through implementation
Required Experience
- Strong experience in Cloud Architecture, including IaaS, PaaS, containers and Kubernetes
- Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or GCP
- Deep knowledge of TCP/IP and networking – this is a core requirement
- Strong understanding of connectivity, routing, DNS, latency and hybrid architectures
- Experience with cloud migration strategies: rehost, replatform and refactor
- Experience working with complex enterprise IT environments, including SAP, legacy systems and integrations
- Knowledge of cloud security and compliance, including IAM, data residency and data sovereignty
- Understanding of FinOps and cloud cost optimization
Personal Profile
You are a hands-on architect who combines strategic thinking with the ability to turn architecture into practical solutions. You take ownership, proactively drive initiatives and are comfortable balancing long-term architectural goals with short-term delivery needs.
You should also have:
- Strong customer-facing communication skills
- The ability to explain complex technical concepts to different audiences
- Confidence in leading technical discussions and decision-making
- A constructive approach to challenging assumptions while maintaining strong relationships
- Strong stakeholder management across both business and technical teams
Important: This is a hands-on architecture role. We are looking for someone who actively contributes to implementation and delivery, rather than a purely conceptual or “PowerPoint” architect.
