Cloud architecture insight
What is an enterprise cloud architect?
An enterprise cloud architect designs how an organization uses cloud platforms—covering landing zones, identity, networking, security, application patterns, and operating models—so teams can deliver reliably without uncontrolled sprawl.
What the role owns
Enterprise cloud architects set target architectures, decision standards, and delivery patterns across Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or multi-cloud estates.
They translate business constraints—risk, compliance, cost, and speed—into technical choices that platform and application teams can execute.
When to hire one
Hire an enterprise cloud architect when migrations lack a target state, cloud spend is rising without ownership, security exceptions are the default, or multiple teams are building incompatible platforms.
