About this role

Role Overview

We are seeking a Cloud Solutions Architect who bridges technical depth with business acumen. As a key connector between cutting-edge technology and customer business value, you will not only master cloud architecture design and implementation but also possess keen business insight to translate abstract technical capabilities into tangible, quantifiable business outcomes. You will engage directly with customers to diagnose pain points, design and implement cloud solutions that are innovative, feasible, and cost-effective, while empowering internal teams and ecosystem partners to drive successful digital transformation. This is not just a technical role; it is a strategic position that drives business growth through technology and creates long-term value through architecture.

Key Responsibilities

  • Business Acumen & Requirements Translation: Proactively engage with customer business scenarios to accurately identify core needs and opportunities through structured interviews, process mapping, and pain point analysis. Translate ambiguous business goals into clear, actionable technical requirements and architectural blueprints, ensuring solutions remain centered on customer value.
  • Architecture Design & Implementation: Design highly available, secure, scalable, and cost-optimized cloud-native architectures based on customer needs and industry best practices, covering complex scenarios such as hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, edge computing, and AI/Big Data. Lead solution reviews, technical validation, and implementation, coordinating across R&D, delivery, and operations teams to ensure smooth transition from design to production and sustained stability.
  • Technical Enablement & Evangelism: Serve as an internal technical advisor to provide architectural support and training to sales, delivery, and product teams. Act as an external technical evangelist through industry salons, technical sharing, and white papers to convey cloud architecture concepts, build customer trust, and drive solution standardization and scalable replication.
  • Value Validation & Continuous Optimization: Establish a value assessment framework to quantify efficiency gains, cost savings, and business growth through performance monitoring, cost analysis, and business metric tracking. Continuously iterate and optimize architecture based on feedback data, creating a "Design-Implement-Validate-Optimize" closed loop to ensure solutions stay aligned with customer business development.

Skilled in cross-functional collaboration and resource integration, balancing technical feasibility with business goals across diverse stakeholder interests. Strong documentation and presentation skills, capable of producing well-structured, logically rigorous architectural documents and reports.
  • Mindset & Attributes: Structured thinking and problem-solving abilities to quickly identify core issues and formulate effective solutions in complex, ambiguous scenarios. Maintain sensitivity and passion for new technologies, continuously tracking advancements in cloud-native, AI, edge computing, and other frontier fields. Customer success-oriented with a service mindset, prioritizing customer value as the core出发点 of architectural design rather than pursuing technical novelty alone.

What We Offer

  • Growth Platform: Engage with real business scenarios of leading customers across industries, participate in end-to-end architecture design and implementation from 0 to 1, and rapidly accumulate cross-industry solution experience. Receive systematic technical training, certification support, and mentorship to advance professional capabilities.
  • Value-Driven Compensation: Competitive compensation package including base salary, performance bonuses, and project incentives. Comprehensive benefits and flexible work arrangements to support work-life balance. Innovation incentives and knowledge-sharing rewards to recognize and encourage technical contributions and value creation.
