Cloud Architect

Are you ready to shape the future of cloud architecture for smart lock systems?

Technology Solutions, part of the Americas Division, develops global modular platforms for smart lock systems, enabling group-wide reuse within ASSA ABLOY. To strengthen our capabilities, we are looking for a Cloud Architect to oversee our cloud infrastructure, ensure best practices for CI/CD, and drive scalable and secure cloud solutions. Join our team and enjoy a collaborative culture that empowers you to build a career you can be proud of.

The cloud architect will be responsible for Technology Solutions B2B cloud infrastructure, internal devops infrastructure and works closely with the software teams to make sure that we have a secure, scalable cloud architecture in place. The architect will work closely with the different teams within Technology Solutions and need to be able to travel to our different sites. I.e. Stockholm, Krakow and within Americas.

What you will do as our Cloud Architect

As a Cloud Architect, you will be responsible for CI/CD and devops best practices including the complete software build chain within Technology Solutions; CI – Continuous integration, CD – Continuous deployment and standardisation of tools and third party frameworks. A special focus area is CI/CD for embedded systems including hardware in the loop testing and hardware emulation. Moreover, you will be designing and supporting the implementation of cloud architectures across AWS and Azure to support business applications and workloads. You will ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability while enforcing security best practices, policies, and procedures. Your role will involve conducting security risk assessments, implementing security controls, and managing identity and access management (IAM) in alignment with compliance frameworks such as ISO, NIST, and SOC2. Additionally, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop secure, efficient, and automated cloud solutions.

You would also:

• Monitor system performance, security, and cost optimizations using cloud-native tools and third-party solutions.
• Implement containerization and orchestration solutions (Docker, Kubernetes) to streamline application deployments.
• Provide mentorship and guidance to teams on cloud security, DevOps, and best architectural practices.
• Define CI/CD best practices and implement DevOps pipelines, CI/CD automation, and infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices.
• Manage cloud infrastructure, including administration, account management, and cost optimization.
• Collaborate with development, operations, and security teams to build and maintain cloud solutions that align with business objectives.

The skills and experiences you need

We are looking for someone who has:

• Minimum 5 years of documented experience defining new cloud architectures and leading independent projects from an architectural standpoint.
• Expertise in cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, with strong experience in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, OpenShift) and embedded CI/CD, optimizing build processes.
• Proficiency in CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Azure DevOps, along with scripting languages like Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Deep understanding of networking, firewalls, VPNs, cloud security frameworks, and DevSecOps practices, including experience with security tools (SIEM, IDS/IPS, WAFs, vulnerability scanning, and endpoint protection).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, coaching, and communication skills, with knowledge of third-party tools, frameworks, and modules used in software development.
• Familiarity with open-source licensing and models, with the ability to lead by example, take initiative, and collaborate across teams.

The ideal candidate is a proactive leader who takes ownership of initiatives and fosters a collaborative and mentoring approach within teams. They should have strong leadership skills, be hands-on in their work, and serve as a guiding force for cloud architecture decisions.
