Infrastructure Architect defining and evolving cloud-centric infrastructure platforms. Collaborating with leadership and teams to ensure secure, scalable, and resilient solutions for Equitable Bank.
Responsibilities
The Infrastructure Architect is a senior technical leader responsible for defining and evolving the Banks cloud‑centric infrastructure platforms.
This role focuses on the design and governance of scalable, secure, and resilient infrastructure across public cloud, hybrid, and supporting on-prem environments.
The Infrastructure Architect ensures cloud and infrastructure solutions are aligned with business objectives, IT strategy, and operational requirements.
Serving as the architectural authority for infrastructure, the role translates business, application, and operational needs into cloud‑forward designs that emphasize automation, elasticity, security, and cost optimization.
The Infrastructure Architect establishes cloud architecture standards, reference designs, and patterns that enable consistent adoption of cloud services while supporting reliability, performance, and compliance requirements.
Working closely with the Director of Infrastructure Architecture, VP of Infrastructure & Operations (I&O), and technology leadership, the Infrastructure Architect plays a key role in shaping cloud strategy and major technology investments.
