• Build and maintain reusable project templates and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) modules so new workloads are provisioned consistently and correctly.
• Lead the identification and resolution of architecture gaps, risks, and blockers surfaced through ongoing tenant review, working with relevant teams to close them.
• Develop, implement and maintain cloud governance frameworks, security policies, and compliance standards to ensure adherence to industry regulations and organizational standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including DevOps engineers, security specialists, and business stakeholders to translate business requirements into solution architectures that meets Ergomed's cloud standards and updating those standards where required.

• Work with IT Security and workload teams to achieve and maintain demonstrable compliance (e.g. SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA), putting the right controls in place so compliance status can be evidenced at any time.
• Evaluate and recommend cloud technologies, tools, and services that align with organizational needs, including containerization platforms, orchestration systems, and infrastructure-as-code solutions.
• Oversee cloud infrastructure deployments, ensuring scalability, reliability, and disaster recovery capabilities are properly implemented and tested.
• Establish best practices for cloud resource management, including monitoring, performance optimization, and automated provisioning.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to development and operations teams on cloud architecture patterns and cloud-native application design.
