Senior Cloud Architect

Description:

As a Senior Cloud Architect, you'll own our AWS environment end to end — designing it, running it, securing it, and setting the standards we grow into. This is a hands-on role with real autonomy and unusually direct impact: you won't be one architect among many, you'll be our cloud function. If you like the pace of a startup but want the substance of building resilient, compliant infrastructure for a regulated bank, this is that role.

What You'll Own
 

• The design, operation, and security of Monet's entire AWS environment.
• The migration and modernization path for key workloads to the cloud.
• The automation, resilience, and cost standards the rest of the team builds against.
  
   

Core Responsibilities (Essential duties include, but are not limited to):

Architecture & delivery
 

• Design and operate scalable, secure, cost-effective AWS architectures across compute, storage, data, and networking.
• Lead cloud migration and modernization with minimal disruption to the business.
  
   

Automation & operations
 

• Drive Infrastructure-as-Code and CI/CD so provisioning is consistent, repeatable, and auditable.
• Own monitoring, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and cost optimization; design backup and multi-region failover strategies.
• Maintain clear architecture documentation and data-flow diagrams for operations and audit.
  
   

Security & compliance
 

• Define and enforce cloud security standards (network design, encryption, and identity & access management) aligned to banking regulations.
• Partner with Security and Risk to keep the architecture compliant by design.
  
   

Collaboration
 

• Work directly across a small, cross-functional team, and help establish engineering standards as the team grows.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and manage key cloud vendor relationships.
