• Cloud Platform Strategy & Architecture: Drive the design, development, and operationalization of ADM’s cloud-native platform strategy, ensuring alignment with enterprise digital transformation goals across global segments and corporate functions.
• Cloud Deployment Model Expertise: Define and govern the enterprise cloud architecture across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS models, establishing standards, patterns, and guardrails for secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud deployments.
• Application & Digital Capability Engineering: Architect and deliver reusable, scalable web application frameworks and digital platform services (APIs, microservices, integration layers) that accelerate the delivery of digital capabilities across ADM.
• Engineering Leadership & Technical Governance: Serve as the primary technical bridge between the Digital Solutions Leaders (business-facing) and the engineering delivery teams. Translate business requirements into robust, cloud-native engineering solutions, ensuring delivery excellence across the entire SDLC.
• Team Leadership & Development: Lead, mentor, and develop a globally distributed team of cloud engineers, platform developers, DevOps practitioners, and full-stack developers. Foster a high-performance engineering culture grounded in continuous improvement, collaboration, and innovation.
• DevSecOps & Platform Engineering: Own the design and implementation of ADM’s DevSecOps pipelines and platform engineering practices — including CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), automated testing, and site reliability engineering (SRE) — to enable rapid, reliable, and secure software delivery.
• Platform Reliability & Security: Accountable for enterprise-wide platform performance, availability, and security. Establish SLAs, SLOs, and observability practices (monitoring, logging, alerting) to ensure mission-critical platforms meet business continuity requirements.
• Cost Optimization & FinOps: Partner with Finance and IT leadership to manage cloud infrastructure budgets, optimize platform costs through FinOps practices, and ensure maximum ROI on cloud and platform investments.
• Technology Innovation & Modernization: Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies — including serverless computing, containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), edge computing, and AI/ML platform services — to continuously modernize ADM’s digital engineering stack.
• Vendor & Partner Management: Cultivate and manage strategic relationships with key cloud and technology vendors (e.g., Microsoft Azure, AWS, GCP, SAP). Lead vendor assessments, negotiations, and governance to ensure best-fit solutions and strong SLA performance.
• Platform Product Mindset: Champion engineering best practices, platform reusability, and a product-centric approach to platform development, enabling teams to build, iterate, and scale digital solutions faster across the enterprise.

Educational & Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field. Master’s degree is a plus.
• 12–15+ years of overall experience in IT, with at least 7+ years of hands-on experience designing and delivering cloud-native solutions.
• Deep expertise in Cloud deployment models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) across major cloud providers (Azure, AWS, or GCP). Multi-cloud or hybrid cloud experience strongly preferred.
• Proven experience in web application development and architecture (modern frameworks, APIs, microservices, containerization).
• Demonstrated ability to build and scale Digital capabilities end-to-end — from platform engineering through product deployment.
• Strong experience with DevSecOps, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Bicep, or equivalent), and agile delivery methodologies.
• Experience leading and managing globally distributed engineering teams.
• Cloud certifications (e.g., Azure Solutions Architect Expert, AWS Solutions Architect, Google Professional Cloud Architect) are strongly preferred..
