Technical Architect Engineer - Fresh Analyst

We are seeking a motivated and tech-savvy intern to join our Technical Architecture team. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience in designing and implementing modern, scalable solutions. You will work closely with experienced architects and engineers, contributing to real-world projects and learning about the latest technologies in cloud computing, DevOps, and AI.

Key Responsibilities: 

1. Infrastructure Design and Architecture

• Collaborate closely with the client’s Infrastructure team to facilitate discussions and develop a comprehensive cloud infrastructure design that aligns with the project’s requirements.
• Develop and maintain the overall cloud infrastructure architecture, ensuring it aligns with business goals and scalability requirements.
• Build, test, and implement cloud solutions that meet the project’s needs, applying cloud-agnostic design principles where practical to avoid unnecessary vendor lock-in.

2. Cloud Resource Management

• Manage and optimise cloud resources — compute (e.g., VMs/instances, containers), storage (e.g., object and block storage), managed databases, and networking services — across the chosen cloud platform.
• Implement cost-effective strategies to monitor and control cloud usage and expenses (FinOps practices).

3. Security and Compliance

• Ensure the security and compliance of cloud environments, including network/firewall controls, identity and access management (IAM) policies, secrets management, and encryption mechanisms.
• Implement best practices for data protection and access control, aligned with relevant government and industry compliance requirements.

4. High Availability and Disaster Recovery

• Design and implement high availability and disaster recovery solutions to minimise downtime and data loss.
• Create and test backup and recovery plans.

5. Automation, IaC, and CI/CD

• Develop and maintain infrastructure as code (IaC) scripts and templates using tools such as Terraform (or equivalents like Pulumi, CloudFormation, or ARM/Bicep).
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins) to automate build, test, deployment, and scaling processes.
• Apply GitOps and configuration-management practices to ensure consistent, repeatable, and auditable deployments.

6. Container Orchestration

• Deploy, manage, and optimise containerised workloads using Kubernetes (managed offerings such as EKS, AKS, or GKE, or self-managed clusters) and related tooling (e.g., Helm).

7. Performance Optimization and Observability

• Monitor system performance using observability tooling (metrics, logging, tracing) and identify opportunities for optimisation and performance tuning.
• Implement scaling strategies to accommodate growing workloads.

8. Documentation and Knowledge Sharing

• Maintain detailed documentation of cloud configurations, pipelines, procedures, and best practices.
• Share knowledge and provide training to other team members and stakeholders.

Qualifications: 

• Cloud certification from a major provider — for example AWS (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or SysOps Administrator), Microsoft Azure (Administrator, DevOps Engineer, or Solutions Architect), or Google Cloud (Associate Cloud Engineer or Professional Cloud Architect / DevOps Engineer).
• Proven experience in cloud infrastructure management, including designing, deploying, and optimising cloud environments on at least one major platform.
• Strong understanding of cloud security, compliance, and best practices.
• Proficiency in infrastructure as code (IaC) tools, CI/CD pipelines, and automation.
• Hands-on experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes) and containerisation (Docker).
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Flexibility to participate in on-call rotations and handle urgent infrastructure issues.
• Commitment to keeping up to date with cloud services and industry trends across providers.
• Proven experience in Government Commercial Cloud (GCC) is a plus.
• Multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud experience is a strong advantage.

Educational Qualification : 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (Master's degree preferred).
