Lead Cloud Architect

pbAt SOFICO /b, weu2019re building the future of mobility through Miles, our market-leading platform for leasing, fleet, and mobility operations worldwide. As an international team, we combine innovation, collaboration, and ownership to deliver real impact for our customers, in a culture of continuous learning, mutual support, and shared success. /ppSOFICO is investing in the platform behind Miles. We are moving from a model where customers host Miles themselves to one where we run it for them, on SOFICO Cloud: standardized, single-tenant environments in Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Our customers are leasing companies, captive finance companies, and banks. The platform they move onto has to carry their operational demands and the regulatory obligations they work under. /ppbFrom our Ghent office /b, As ba Cloud (Platform) Architect, /byouu2019ll bown the architecture and technical direction of SOFICO Cloud /band the shared platform underneath Miles. You are the bauthority on platform infrastructure /b in two directions. Inside SOFICO, byou set the direction our platform and product teams build toward /b. Outside, you explain and defend that architecture to customers, to their security and risk teams, and to their auditors. /ph3bWhat /bbyouu2019ll do /bb... /b /h3ulliOwn the target architecture and roadmap for SOFICO Cloud and the shared platform capabilities Miles product teams build on. You set the architectural direction on both Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. /liliMake a fleet of isolated, single-tenant customer environments run like one platform: upgrades that land the same way everywhere, drift you can see and control, observability you can trust, and a cost base that improves as we scale. /liliMake sure moving to SOFICO Cloud takes real work off our customers. The infrastructure, security, resilience and continuity they hand over become ours to run properly. /liliExplain and defend the architecture of SOFICO Cloud to customers and to their security, risk and audit teams, and bring what you learn there back into the roadmap. /liliDefine the runtime contract product teams design within: Kubernetes, networking, identity and access management, storage, databases, messaging, observability, and service-to-service communication. /liliPush platform and product engineering on the non-functionals: availability, scalability, performance, security, operability, recoverability, and cost. /liliOwn platform architecture decisions end to end. That means reviews, trade-offs, exceptions, and decision records people can still rely on a year later. /liliShape how environments are built and changed, through Infrastructure-as-Code, GitOps and automation, so that a change to the fleet is repeatable and safe to audit. /liliBuild platform architecture into a practice at SOFICO, with standards, a regular review rhythm, and better infrastructure thinking among the architects and engineers you work with. /li /ulh3bWhat you bring /bb... /b /h3ullibSenior-level experience in platform and cloud architecture /b for an enterprise product. /liliA track record bdesigning and running /bbproduction /bb SaaS or cloud-native platforms /bat scale. /liliThe bability to /bbget /bb decisions closed /b through influence. You carry the mandate for platform architecture, with a clear escalation path. /lilibCredibility /b with regulated customers. You are comfortable in a room with a customer's security, risk and audit teams, and you can answer their questions about our architecture directly. /lilibConfidenc /bbe /bsetting technical direction and standards across teams that donu2019t report to you, and the appetite to bring other architects and engineers along with you. /liliThe judgement to sequence change well. Our customers run their business on Miles, so platform change gets planned, communicated and delivered without disruption to them. /li /ulpbKnowledge Skills /b /ppbMust have : /b /pullibKubernetes and container platforms: /b AKS, workload architecture, cluster networking, storage, operators. /lilibSolid Azure experience /b, plus the confidence to make architectural decisions on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
