Job description

The work we do has an impact on millions of lives, and you can be a part of it.

We help protect our customers against life’s uncertainties. Regardless of where you work within the company, you’ll be helping provide protection and peace of mind when our customers need it most.

Join our cloud infrastructure team, the driving force behind our organization's cloud transformation. We architect, standardize, and engineer resilient Azure environments that fuel enterprise-wide innovation, ensuring scalability, security, and reliability as the "Secure Sandbox" for all cloud activities. Building on our established Azure presence and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices, we partner with Networking, Security, Enterprise Architecture, Operations, and various domain teams (e.g., Data & AI) to create "Paved Roads" for seamless cloud consumption and advanced platforms like Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). As a peer among technical experts, you'll collaborate on collective decisions and innovations that mature our cloud ecosystem.

We're looking for a Lead Cloud Architect to evolve our Azure cloud platform in partnership with a team of peer engineers. In this hands-on individual contributor role, you'll leverage your expertise to strengthen resilient infrastructure, refine IaC and CI/CD artifacts, and elevate SRE practices—building on our solid foundation for even greater reliability. Reporting to the Senior Director of Cloud Infrastructure, you'll contribute to platform strategy through shared insights, joint problem-solving, and targeted improvements that advance our cloud maturity. Ideal for a seasoned Azure specialist excited by cloud-native SRE at scale; your work will emphasize enhancements and new solutions atop what we've already established, not starting from zero. Collaborating with Enterprise Architecture and Application Development teams, you'll support the design, implementation, and refinement of Azure and O365 services, delivering innovative IaC, orchestration, and automation while prioritizing top-tier Information Security.
