Cloud Architect, Trilogy

OverviewYou're a DevOps engineer who prioritizes prevention over reaction—ensuring systems remain operational rather than simply responding when they fail. If you find satisfaction in dissecting complex legacy infrastructure, architecting efficient replacements, and automating repetitive processes, this opportunity aligns with your strengths. We need a DevOps and AWS infrastructure specialist who performs effectively in demanding environments where 99.9% uptime is the baseline expectation. Your work will span a portfolio of acquired products, each presenting unique challenges, as you migrate them into a unified, scalable AWS environment while implementing monitoring and automation designed to minimize incident frequency.While most organizations ask you to support a single technology stack, we need you to merge and optimize several without introducing failures. Where other teams separate databases, we take a different approach—consolidating them strategically to improve cost efficiency and simplify management across our portfolio. This position is not suited for someone interested in maintaining static infrastructure; it's designed for someone who encounters fragmented, inconsistent environments and immediately envisions a superior architecture.If you're a self-directed problem-solver who excels at unraveling complicated systems and ensuring their reliable operation, this role will engage you fully. If you require substantial guidance, struggle when managing multiple technology stacks, or prefer greenfield projects to bringing order to existing complexity, this role will not suit you. If you're prepared to assume ownership of a high-impact infrastructure position with opportunities to build, optimize, and automate at scale, submit your application nowWhat You Will Be DoingExecuting complex infrastructure transitions, including migrations from legacy environments to AWS cloud platforms and lift-and-shift operationsCreating monitoring strategies and developing automation for monitoring systems, deployment pipelines, and operational processesConducting system monitoring, backup operations, incident management, database migrations, database configuration, and cost reduction initiativesWhat You Won’t Be DoingSpending time in Jira and prolonged status meetings - we prioritize people who deliver solutions, not those who only document issuesKeeping legacy systems running indefinitely - you'll be authorized to implement substantial improvementsWaiting through bureaucratic approval processes - you'll possess the authority to implement immediate corrections during incidentsOperating within restrictive technical boundaries - this position demands comprehensive expertise across multiple domainsJustifying budget requests for essential improvements - we recognize the value of infrastructure investmentCloud Architect Key ResponsibilitiesEstablish reliability and consistency across cloud infrastructure within our expanding product portfolio through implementation of comprehensive monitoring, automation, and AWS best practices.Basic RequirementsExtensive AWS infrastructure expertise (this is our core platform - experience with other cloud providers alone is insufficient)Demonstrated ability scripting with Python and Bash for routine administrative operationsProven experience managing and migrating production databases across multiple engines (including MySql, Postgres, Oracle, MS-SQL)Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation)Expert-level Linux systems administration skillsAbout TrilogyHundreds of software businesses run on the Trilogy Business Platform.
