The Technical Architecture Lead is responsible for ensuring that IT and cloud architecture designs align with Deloitte Technology business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) requirements. This role is crucial in ensuring that Deloitte Technology IT and cloud environments are secure, resilient, and capable of withstanding disruptions, supporting continuous business operations.
This role involves assessing resilient architectural frameworks, mitigating risks, and ensuring high availability, failover strategies, and compliance with industry standards. The ideal candidate will work closely with IT and solutions, security, risk management stakeholders to develop and implement robust cloud and IT infrastructure strategies that guarantee operational continuity.
We’re seeking a Cloud Resiliency Architect to design, implement, and continuously improve resiliency strategies across our cloud estate. You will lead the architecture for high availability, disaster recovery (DR), and business continuity—ensuring our critical workloads withstand failures, cyber incidents, regional outages, and rapid demand shifts. This role partners closely with Platform Engineering, Products and Solutions, Security, and SRE/Operations stakeholders to meet stringent RTO/RPO targets.
The Cloud Resiliency Architect will perform the following:
• Resilient Architecture Design-Architect HA/FT patterns for distributed systems across Azure/AWS/GCP and hybrid environments (active-active, active-passive, zone/region failover, multi-cloud strategies).
• Business Continuity & DR-Define, implement, and maintain DR plans (runbooks, recovery tiers, data protection, replication strategies), aligned to business impact analysis, RTO/RPO, and compliance requirements.• Failure Mode & Risk Analysis-Perform dependency mapping, blast-radius reduction, chaos testing, and threat modeling to identify and mitigate single points of failure.
• Automation & Orchestration-Build automated failover and recovery pipelines using IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation/Bicep), CI/CD, and cloud-native services (e.g., Route 53/Azure Traffic Manager/Cloud DNS; ASGs/VMSS; Kubernetes operators).
• Resiliency Testing-Lead regular DR exercises, game days, and tabletop scenarios; measure outcomes and drive corrective actions.
• Observability & SLAs-Establish resiliency KPIs (e.g., MTTR, error budgets), implement health checks, synthetic probes, and automated remediation with runbooks.
• Governance & Compliance-Ensure adherence to regulatory and industry frameworks (e.g., ISO 22301/27001, NIST SP 800-34/53, SOC 2) and internal risk policies.
• Cross-Functional Leadership-Advise product teams on resilient microservices patterns (circuit breakers, backoff/retry, bulkheads, idempotency); coach engineers and advocate best practices.
Deloitte Technology works at the forefront of technology development and processes to support and protect Deloitte around the world. In this truly global environment, we operate not in "what is" but rather "what can be" to help Deloitte deliver and connect with its clients, its communities, and one another in ways not previously conceived.
Do you possess the following?:
• 8+ years in cloud architecture, platform engineering, or SRE, including 4+ years focused on availability/resiliency/DR.
• Deep hands-on experience with at least one major cloud (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and solid understanding of another.
• Proven track record designing HA/DR for mission-critical applications (databases, messaging, caches, stateful services).
• Strong IaC skills (Terraform preferred; CloudFormation/Bicep acceptable) and experience with Git-based workflows.
• Expertise with container orchestration (Kubernetes), service mesh (e.g., Istio/Linkerd), and distributed systems patterns.
• Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Cloud-native monitoring) and alerting.
• Demonstrated experience leading DR exercises and chaos testing.
• Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and documentation skills.
