Description :

McLaren Strategic Solutions is seeking a Senior Infrastructure / Cloud Architect to play a pivotal role in a large-scale enterprise legacy platform modernization assessment.

The successful candidate will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of current infrastructure and cloud readiness, define target-state cloud-native architecture patterns, and develop pragmatic migration options with a strong focus on multi-tenancy, security, scalability, resiliency, and operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities :

- Assess current deployment topology, environment landscapes, and infrastructure dependencies across legacy platforms.

- Conduct cloud readiness and constraints assessments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, identifying technical, operational, and regulatory limitations.i

ac

- Perform multi-tenant feasibility analysis and recommend suitable cloud-native architecture patterns (containerization, serverless, microservices, and shared services models).

- Define target-state infrastructure architecture with emphasis on networking, security posture, identity & access management, data separation, and compliance controls.

- Evaluate and recommend Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) strategies using Terraform, ARM, CloudFormation, or equivalent.

- Assess DevSecOps maturity including CI/CD pipelines, environment management, automation frameworks, observability, logging, and incident management practices.

- Analyze non-functional requirements (performance, availability, scalability, resiliency, disaster recovery, RTO/RPO) and translate them into architecture recommendations.

- Identify risks, dependencies, and cost-optimization opportunities; contribute to the risk register and remediation themes.

- Collaborate with Principal Architect, Solution Architects, Data Architects, and Senior Business Analyst to integrate infrastructure recommendations into the overall target-state blueprint and phased migration roadmap.

- Contribute to the executive decision pack and readiness assessment for future implementation phases.
