Function
As a Cloud Technical Architect, you guide customers in making strategic decisions about their cloud architecture within the T-Systems Public Cloud environment.
You translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and future-proof solutions that align with enterprise standards and long-term goals.
This role requires deep architectural expertise combined with a strong understanding of the TCP/IP stack, as networking forms a critical foundation of the platform and is comparable in complexity to hyperscalers such as AWS.
Key Responsibilities
Design end-to-end cloud architectures within T-Systems Public Cloud
Translate business needs into scalable, secure, and future-proof technical solutions
Define and implement landing zones and reusable architectural patterns
Advise on platform choices, cost optimization, risk, and time-to-market
Lead technical discussions across all levels, from C-level stakeholders to engineering teams
Ensure alignment with security, compliance, and performance requirements
Support cloud migration strategies (rehost, replatform, refactor)
Guide integration with existing enterprise IT landscapes (on-premise and hybrid)
Contribute across the full lifecycle: strategy, design, and implementation
Requirements
Required Skills & Experience
Strong expertise in cloud architecture (IaaS, PaaS, containers, Kubernetes)
Experience with cloud platforms comparable to AWS, Azure, or GCP
Deep understanding of the TCP/IP stack (core requirement)
Strong networking knowledge (connectivity, latency, hybrid architectures, routing, DNS)
Experience with cloud migration strategies (rehost, replatform, refactor)
Understanding of enterprise IT environments (SAP, legacy systems, integrations)
Knowledge of security and compliance (IAM, data residency, sovereignty)
Experience with cost optimization and FinOps principles
Profile
Self-starter who proactively drives technical initiatives
Strong ownership of customer onboarding and architectural outcomes
Strategic thinker with the ability to translate vision into execution
Hands-on mindset (not a “PowerPoint architect”)
