IT Park, Rajiv Gandhi Technology Park, in Chandigarh has a Senior Cloud Solutions Architect opening, full time, on site, with a cloud and DevOps team designing infrastructure across multiple client environments. Five years of experience is the expectation, and the role carries real design authority over how new client infrastructure gets architected from the ground up.
The work covers provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure, automating deployment pipelines, monitoring system performance and reliability, and responding to infrastructure incidents as they arise. An architect at this level is expected to think several steps ahead of the immediate request, designing for the scale and reliability a client will need in a year, not just what solves today's problem in the simplest way.
Required skills are deep experience across at least one major cloud platform, AWS, Azure, or GCP, system design at an architectural level, and real cost optimization instincts, since a technically elegant design that's needlessly expensive isn't actually a win for a client watching their cloud bill. A bachelor's degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field is expected, along with a recognized cloud certification and demonstrated hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, containerization, and automated deployment pipelines.
Rajiv Gandhi Technology Park has become one of Chandigarh's most established tech hubs, and the client environments this architect designs for span different industries and scales, from smaller startups needing lean, cost-conscious infrastructure to larger enterprises needing highly available, fault-tolerant systems.
Naukri Mitra has listed cloud and DevOps roles from this employer previously, and architects who've joined recently describe the cost optimization expectation as a genuine, tracked part of performance review here, not a secondary concern behind pure technical elegance; a design that's technically impressive but needlessly expensive gets sent back for revision as often as one that's simply broken.
Interviews include a system design round working through a realistic client scenario and a discussion of a past architecture decision you'd make differently in hindsight. Candidates who can honestly critique their own past work tend to interview well.
The Chandigarh office itself is a fairly typical mid-size setup, with the Cloud & DevOps team sharing space with a couple of other functions rather than occupying a dedicated floor. That layout means visibility works both ways: good work gets noticed by people outside the immediate team faster than it might at a larger, more siloed employer, and so do mistakes.
A design that looks cost-efficient on paper can turn out expensive in practice once actual traffic patterns diverge from the assumptions used during planning, and this architect role is expected to revisit early design decisions against real usage data within the first few months of any new deployment, rather than treating the initial design as final.
New client onboarding happens roughly once a quarter for a major account and more frequently for smaller ones, and the architect's early design decisions on a new engagement tend to have outsized influence on that client's total cloud costs for years afterward, which is part of why the role carries this much design authority.
The architecture team holds a quarterly review of cost trends across all managed client accounts, specifically looking for design patterns that consistently correlate with cost overruns, feeding those findings back into how new engagements get architected from the start.
This role is based at IT Park, Rajiv Gandhi Technology Park, Chandigarh, pin code 160101, five days a week on site. Pay runs up to ₹1,77,500 a month. The team hopes to fill this seat within six weeks.
