Cloud Architect

You’ll help drive digital innovation by:

- Advise our customers on adopting cloud and hybrid hosting solutions for Mendix and adjacent solutions, based on cost implications, performance, and security requirements etc.

- Assisting customers with installation, configuration, operations, supervising and solving of Mendix platform deployments in: Kubernetes environments (mainly AWS EKS, Azure AKS, Rancher, OpenShift) at hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) as well as on customer premises.

- Support customers with pre-existing CI/CD pipelines, to implement/optimize Mendix deployments in their own infrastructure.

- Getting trained on innovative Mendix Cloud Architecture principles and its deployment and integration possibilities.

- This role requires the ability to both define and explain (i.e. architect), as well as implement and troubleshoot (i.e. engineer), highly automated hosting infrastructure.

- Experiment with innovative approaches to automating cloud infrastructure, deployments, and AI-driven infrastructure.

Requirements:

- Deep understanding and practical experience in microservices architectures and containerized environments. 4+ years of professional experience required, with ideally 2+ years working with modern cloud infrastructures.

- Experience with architecting, building, and operating highly automated and containerized Cloud infrastructure. Designing, deploying and maintaining Kubernetes-based architectures on public (e.g. AWS or Azure) and private cloud platforms (e.g. Rancher, OpenShift) is no secret for you. Relevant certifications in these areas are a plus.

- Must have database administration (Postgres, SQLServer, Oracle), cloud-database/data lake, authentication (AWS IAM/Azure Entra) and network (Ingress, reverse proxies, enterprise-grade network) skills.

- Must have implementation and integration experience with commonly used CI/CD tooling (such as GIT/SVN, Gitlab CI, Jenkins, Azure DevOps).

Bonus Experience:

- Relevant cloud architecture & infrastructure certifications.

- Professional certification from AWS / GCP / Azure.

- BA/BS or Masters in Computer Science (or technical equivalent).
