معماري حلول سحابية أول

DeepLight AI is a specialist AI and data consultancy dedicated to transforming the regional corporate landscape through bespoke, high-impact intelligent systems. Based in the UAE, we partner with organizations across diverse sectors—with a deep-rooted expertise in Financial Services and Banking—to bridge the gap between complex data and actionable business strategy.

At DeepLight, we don't believe in "off-the-shelf" fixes. We deliver tailored AI solutions designed to integrate seamlessly into existing enterprise architectures, ensuring that innovation is both scalable and secure. From building robust data foundations to deploying sophisticated AI platforms, we empower our clients to lead in an increasingly automated world.

As the Senior Cloud Solutions Architect, you will serve as the primary visionary for our cloud-native banking platforms. Your mission is to bridge the gap between ambitious business goals and rigorous technical execution, designing secure, scalable, and cost-effective architectures across both Azure and AWS. You will be responsible for translating complex requirements into robust designs that satisfy stringent banking regulations and cybersecurity audits, ultimately empowering our engineering teams to build with speed, safety, and precision.

Your responsibilities as the Senior Cloud Solutions Architect:

• Architecture Design: Create comprehensive High-Level and Low-Level Design (HLD/LLD) documents for web and mobile-backend applications, prioritizing high availability and seamless Disaster Recovery (DR).
• Hybrid-Cloud Governance: Establish and maintain organizational structures across cloud providers, managing environment segregation via Subnets, Resource Groups (Azure), and Accounts/Organizations (AWS) under the Principle of Least Privilege.
• Network Sovereignty: Architect sophisticated network topologies (Hub-and-Spoke, Private Link, Transit Gateways) and integrate WAF/DDoS protection to ensure sensitive banking data avoids the public internet.
• Security & Compliance Advocacy: Act as the lead technical liaison to Cybersecurity, Data Management, and Corporate Risk teams, defending designs to ensure 100% compliance with PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and central bank mandates.
• FinOps Strategy: Drive the strategy for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) optimization by selecting appropriate SKUs (Reserved Instances, Spot, Premium tiers) and enforcing tagging policies for departmental billing.
• Technical Mentorship: Act as the "North Star" for Platform and DevOps engineers, ensuring that Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) implementations mirror architectural blueprints.

As an AI consultancy, our greatest asset is the expertise of our people.
While technical mastery is the foundation of what we do, the ability to bridge the gap between complex data science and actionable business value is what defines your success with Deeplight.
We're looking for individuals who are not only world-class in their fields of specialism, but also compelling communicators and persuasive advocates for their own skills.
You will be the face of our firm, tasked with building trust, articulating the "why" behind your technical decisions, and effectively "selling" your vision to high-level stakeholders.
If you thrive on the challenge of presenting cutting-edge solutions as much as you do on building them, you will fit right in.

Requirements

What we need from you:

• Dual-Cloud Expertise: Professional-level certification is required (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect Professional or Azure Solutions Architect Expert).
• Network Engineering Mastery: Deep expertise in VPC/VNET peering, VPN Tunnels, Direct Connect/ExpressRoute, and advanced Load Balancing.
• Security-First Mindset: Proven track record of implementing Zero-Trust architectures, IAM at scale, and complex encryption protocols for data at rest and in transit.
• Banking Domain Knowledge: Extensive experience designing financial systems with a focus on audit trails, data residency, and risk mitigation.
• Modern App Lifecycle: Mastery of Microservices, Containerization (Kubernetes/EKS/AKS), and Serverless paradigms.
• Stakeholder Management: Exceptional ability to influence C-suite executives while maintaining technical credibility with deep-level engineers.

It would be great if you also have experience of:

• Agile Leadership: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, iterative environment while maintaining long-term architectural integrity.
• Strategic Pivot: Skilled at translating granular technical debt or risks into business-impact language for non-technical leadership.
• Collaborative Influence: A natural mentor who can elevate the technical bar of the DevOps and Engineering squads through peer reviews and workshops.
• Future-Proofing: Proactive identification of emerging cloud trends (e.g., AI integration, advanced automation) that could provide a competitive edge in the fintech space.
