Cloud Architect – Remote Diagnostics & Connected Services

Job Description

Responsibilities:

Cloud Architecture & Modernization

• Define end to end cloud architectures for remote diagnostics and troubleshooting platforms spanning device, cloud, and enterprise systems
• Lead the modernization of legacy, stateful systems toward stateless, API driven architectures
• Establish architectural principles for scalability, modularity, and long term maintainability

Remote Diagnostics & Platform Integration

• Architect a unified remote diagnostics and troubleshooting ecosystem by integrating existing platforms and enterprise applications
• Define integration patterns using REST APIs, asynchronous callbacks, and event driven mechanisms
• Enable seamless orchestration across diagnostics services, analytics platforms, and enterprise backends

Diagnostics Workflow Enablement

• Design platform level architecture to support:
• Advanced remote troubleshooting workflows
• Automated diagnostics and orchestration flows
• Consistent service oriented interaction models
• Ensure architecture supports non disruptive evolution of diagnostic capabilities over time

Cloud to Device & IoT Communication

• Define architectures for cloud to device communication using IoT and messaging based patterns

• Support use cases such as:

• Remote diagnostics initiation

• Device state synchronization

• Asynchronous command and response flows

• Enable scalable device onboarding and interaction models suitable for large fleets

Scalability, Reliability & Observability

• Design architectures capable of supporting high volume, distributed deployments

• Define patterns for:

• Horizontal scalability

• High availability and resiliency

• Monitoring, logging, and operational visibility

• Ensure diagnostic platforms meet expected performance and responsiveness requirements

Cloud Platform Leadership

• Architect cloud solutions using AWS and/or Azure, including:

• API and microservices platforms

• Messaging and streaming frameworks

• Cloud native data and integration services

• Define reference architectures using:

• Containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes)

• Cloud native deployment and scaling mechanisms

Stakeholder & Architecture Governance

• Act as a technical authority for cloud and platform architecture discussions
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and platform teams to translate requirements into architectural solutions

• Create and maintain architecture artifacts such as:

• System context diagrams

• Logical and physical architecture views

• Integration and interaction flows

Requirements:

Required Skills & Experience

• IoT or messaging based communication models

• Experience integrating legacy systems into modern cloud platforms

• Hands on architecture experience with AWS and/or Azure

• Strong ability to communicate architectural concepts to diverse technical stakeholders

• Strong analytical and problem solving mindset

• Clear communication and architecture storytelling skills

• Ability to balance technical, operational, and scalability trade offs

• Comfortable working across cross functional and globally distributed teams

Preferred Skills:

• Exposure to service oriented diagnostic architectures
• Experience with remote operations or lifecycle support platforms
• Familiarity with enterprise aftersales, service tools, or fleet platforms
• Experience supporting multi region or large scale deployments
