DevOps Solution Architect

Remote · Full-time / B2B · Lead / Principal 

About the Role 

We're hiring a DevOps Solution Architect on behalf of our client, a technology consulting company delivering DevOps, cloud, and security solutions across multiple international projects, to join their team. 

You'll provide architectural leadership and technical oversight across several client engagements at once, working closely with Client Delivery Managers and Project Engineers on technical discovery, solution design, DevSecOps strategy, delivery reviews, and complex technical escalations. 

This is a client-facing leadership role that blends solution architecture, DevSecOps, technical consulting, presales, mentoring, and delivery governance — not a traditional people-management position or a full-time engineering assignment on a single project. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Lead technical discovery, assessments, and architecture workshops 
• Translate business requirements into secure, scalable, reliable, and cost-effective cloud solutions 
• Design Azure, hybrid-cloud, DevSecOps, platform, networking, security, and operational architectures 
• Define technical approaches, implementation roadmaps, dependencies, assumptions, and risks 
• Prepare and validate technical backlogs, estimates, acceptance criteria, and delivery plans 
• Review architecture, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, security controls, and key deliverables 
• Ensure solutions meet security, reliability, scalability, observability, compliance, and production-readiness requirements 
• Guide and mentor Project Engineers without taking over their day-to-day implementation ownership 
• Support engineers with complex technical decisions, blockers, and escalations 
• Participate in presales, proposal preparation, technical estimation, and client presentations 
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to CTOs, engineering teams, architects, and security stakeholders 
• Develop reusable reference architectures, Terraform modules, pipeline templates, standards, and delivery practices 
• Support technical interviews, onboarding, and knowledge-sharing activities 
• Identify modernization, automation, security, reliability, and cost-optimization opportunities 

What We're Looking For 

Must Have 

• Strong professional experience in DevOps, DevSecOps, Cloud, Platform Engineering, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering 
• Previous experience as a DevOps Architect, Cloud Architect, Solution Architect, Technical Lead, or similar senior technical role 
• Strong hands-on knowledge of Microsoft Azure 
• Experience with Terraform and/or Bicep 
• Strong knowledge of CI/CD, preferably GitHub Actions, Azure Pipelines, or GitLab CI/CD 
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and preferably AKS 
• Good understanding of cloud networking, identity, RBAC, secrets management, monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery 
• Practical knowledge of cloud security, policy-as-code, vulnerability scanning, and secure software delivery 
• Experience with architecture reviews, technical assessments, estimation, and production-readiness validation 
• Strong client-facing, consulting, presentation, and technical documentation skills 
• Ability to mentor engineers and lead technical decisions across multiple projects 
• Professional English communication skills 
• Native Ukrainian speaker

Nice to Have 

• Experience in IT consulting, outsourcing, or managed services 
• Experience supporting several client projects simultaneously 
• Knowledge of AWS or GCP 
• Experience with presales and proposal preparation 
• Microsoft Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, security, or architecture certifications 
• Experience in regulated or security-sensitive environments 

Why You'll Love This Role 

• Architectural ownership across multiple international client projects, not a single stack 
• A client-facing leadership role that mixes strategy, hands-on architecture, and mentoring 
• Direct exposure to CTOs, engineering leaders, and security stakeholders 
• Freedom to build reusable reference architectures and shape delivery standards 
• Full-time B2B engagement with remote flexibility
