Technology Executive for Infrastructure Architecture in fintech company. Leading cloud strategy and executive stakeholder engagement for cloud foundations platform and modernization agenda.
About the role
- Platform / Infrastructure Architect role at Intelance focusing on defining hosting and platform patterns. Work in a hybrid model to support architecture function for engineering projects in North Africa.
Responsibilities
- Work with Enterprise, Solution, Security, Data, and Integration Architects to define the client’s platform and infrastructure baseline (on-prem, cloud, network, identity, endpoints).
- Document current infrastructure landscape – core platforms, environments, key dependencies, and technical risks.
- Define target hosting patterns and platform standards (e.g. when to use on-prem vs cloud, multi-tier patterns, shared services, shared platforms).
- Design infrastructure views for 1-2 pilot projects going through the new EA workflow, covering environments, connectivity, resilience, and operational model.
- Specify and refine non-functional requirements (availability, performance, capacity, backup/restore, DR, monitoring) for solutions and integrations.
- Work closely with Security Architects to ensure designs meet security controls (network zoning, identity, encryption, logging) without blocking delivery.
- Support IT Operations in aligning platform operations and support (monitoring, patching, incident management) with the target architecture.
- Contribute clear, reusable infrastructure patterns and reference diagrams into the EA repository.
- Highlight and prioritise infrastructure risks and technical debt that impact projects, and help shape a realistic improvement roadmap.
- Explain infrastructure options and constraints clearly to non-infrastructure stakeholders (IT leadership, PMO, business).
Requirements
- 7+ years’ experience in Infrastructure Architecture, Platform Architecture, or related roles.
- Strong experience designing infrastructure for complex environments with a mix of on-prem and cloud, multiple line-of-business systems, and integrations.
- Good understanding of core domains such as compute, storage, networking, identity, load balancing, backup/DR, monitoring, and operations.
- Hands-on exposure to at least one major cloud platform (e.g. Azure, AWS) and hybrid connectivity patterns.
- Comfortable producing clear infrastructure design artefacts (high-level infra diagrams, environment maps, NFR definitions).
- Able to work closely with Solution, Integration, and Security Architects to ensure designs are coherent and implementable.
- Confident discussing trade-offs (cost vs resilience, performance vs complexity) with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Excellent communication skills in English and comfortable working in a hybrid model (remote plus occasional on-site visits to Casablanca and/or London).
Benefits
- Key role in shaping the technical foundation of a new Enterprise Architecture capability for a major engineering and project-delivery group.
- Work in a small, senior team that values clear, practical designs and honest risk discussion.
- Hybrid working model – remote by default, with focused on-site trips to run workshops and support pilot projects.
- Exposure to Intelance’s broader EA, Cybersecurity, and AI work, with the opportunity to influence platform / infrastructure practices across clients.
- Competitive compensation with options for freelance / Ltd company engagement or longer-term collaboration.
- Direct access to Intelance leadership and the chance to help shape our platform / infrastructure architecture playbooks and patterns.
