We are looking for a Cloud Technical Architect to guide customers in making strategic decisions about their cloud architecture within the T-Systems Public Cloud environment. You translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and future-proof solutions that align with enterprise standards and long-term goals.
This role requires deep architectural expertise combined with a strong understanding of the TCP/IP stack, 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 needs into scalable, secure, and future-proof technical solutions
- Define and implement landing zones and reusable architectural patterns
- Advise on platform choices, cost optimization, risk, and time-to-market
- Lead technical discussions across all levels, from C-level stakeholders to engineering teams
- Ensure alignment with security, compliance, and performance requirements
- Support cloud migration strategies (rehost, replatform, refactor)
- Guide integration with existing enterprise IT landscapes (on-premise and hybrid)
- Contribute across the full lifecycle: strategy, design, and implementation
- Strong expertise in cloud architecture (IaaS, PaaS, containers, Kubernetes)
- Experience with cloud platforms comparable to AWS, Azure, or GCP
- Deep understanding of the TCP/IP stack (core requirement)
- Strong networking knowledge (connectivity, latency, hybrid architectures, routing, DNS)
- Experience with cloud migration strategies (rehost, replatform, refactor)
- Understanding of enterprise IT environments (SAP, legacy systems, integrations)
- Knowledge of security and compliance (IAM, data residency, sovereignty)
- Experience with cost optimization and FinOps principles
Profile:
- Self-starter who proactively drives technical initiatives
- Strong ownership of customer onboarding and architectural outcomes
- Strategic thinker with the ability to translate vision into execution
- Hands-on mindset (not a “PowerPoint architect”)
- Able to balance long-term architecture with short-term delivery
Soft Skills:
- Strong communication skills in customer-facing environments
- Ability to simplify complex technical concepts for different audiences
- Confident in leading discussions and guiding decision-making
- Challenges assumptions constructively while maintaining trust
- Strong stakeholder management across business and technical teams
