About the role
Job Description
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
Qualifications
* 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
Additional Information
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
