About This Job

Cloud Architect: On behalf of our technology client, Procom is searching for a Cloud Architect for a contract role. This position is remote, based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Cloud Architect - Job Description: In this role, you will deliver secure, reliable cloud infrastructure primarily on GCP (primary platform), with Azure as a secondary platform. The focus will be on building and evolving cloud platforms using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and automated delivery practices. You will implement architect-defined designs, collaborate with engineering, security, and platform teams, and provide L3 engineering support through root-cause analysis and backlog-driven remediation.

Cloud Architect - Responsibilities: • Deliver cloud infrastructure changes using Terraform/IaC, including peer review and controlled deployments. • Support CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) by diagnosing failures and implementing fixes. • Remediate cloud governance and security findings (policy violations, misconfigurations) through backlog work. • Maintain visibility into platform health, release readiness, monitoring signals, and rollback plans. • Provide L3 engineering support by triaging escalations, completing root-cause analysis, and driving corrective work through the backlog. • Manage cloud delivery work in Jira (epics, stories, tasks) with clear acceptance criteria and Definition of Done. • Communicate delivery progress, risks, dependencies, blockers, and status through Scrum ceremonies and lightweight Jira reporting.

Cloud Architect - Mandatory Skills: • Strong hands-on experience with GCP (primary platform) and Azure (secondary platform). • Demonstrated cloud infrastructure and cloud platform experience, including provisioning, configuration, and ongoing operations. • Strong hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code — Terraform and GitHub-based workflows. • Solid expertise in Kubernetes, containerization, and cloud-native architectures. • Experience with CI/CD pipelines. • Ability to design and support cloud-native, scalable architectures. • Experience with platform modernization (migrating from VM/IIS-based systems to containerized and/or serverless solutions).

Cloud Architect – Nice-to-Have Skills: • AWS experience. • Familiarity with serverless technologies and API-driven development. • Understanding of cross-cloud dependencies, integrations, and distributed systems. • Exposure to AI-enabled tooling within cloud environments.
