(Only Singaporean with MSD CAT-2 or equivalent will be considered)
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a seasoned Enterprise Architect with deep expertise in hybrid cloud architecture and a proven ability to leverage Artificial Intelligence to drive business and technology transformation. This is a strategic yet hands-on role where you will serve as the primary technical authority for complex, large-scale architecture engagements — bridging business objectives with scalable, secure, and future-ready technology solutions.
You will work across multi-cloud and on-premises environments, leading architecture design from concept through to delivery, while embedding AI-driven capabilities into enterprise platforms. A significant portion of our engagements involves government and regulated-industry clients, so comfort operating within secure, compliance-driven, and at times air-gapped environments is essential.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Enterprise Architecture Leadership
- Define and govern enterprise architecture frameworks, standards, and roadmaps aligned to organizational strategy and technology vision
- Lead architecture reviews, design authority forums, and technical governance boards across programmes and platforms
- Translate complex business requirements into coherent, implementable architecture blueprints covering application, data, infrastructure, and security domains
- Drive architectural decision-making using structured frameworks such as TOGAF, Zachman, or equivalent
- Serve as trusted technical advisor to C-suite, senior stakeholders, and client leadership, articulating architecture trade-offs and strategic options clearly
- ️ Hybrid Cloud Architecture
- Architect and govern hybrid cloud solutions spanning on-premises data centres and multiple cloud providers, with AWS as the primary cloud platform
- Design secure, scalable, and resilient cloud-native and cloud-hybrid architectures incorporating microservices, containerisation (Kubernetes, Docker), and serverless patterns
- Lead cloud migration strategy and execution — including lift-and-shift, re-platforming, and re-architecting workloads — with clear governance over cost, performance, and security
- Define and enforce infrastructure-as-code (IaC) standards using tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or equivalent
- Architect multi-account AWS environments using AWS Landing Zone, Control Tower, and Well-Architected Framework best practices
- Evaluate and integrate complementary cloud platforms (Azure, GCP) where multi-cloud strategies are required
- Ensure architecture compliance with relevant cloud security frameworks including CSA CCM, MAS TRM, IM8, and GCC where applicable
AI & Intelligent Systems Integration
- Lead the architecture and integration of AI and machine learning capabilities into enterprise platforms and workflows
- Design end-to-end AI solution architectures including data ingestion pipelines, model training and serving infrastructure, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, and agentic AI workflows
- Architect LLMOps and MLOps platforms for model lifecycle management, monitoring, retraining, and governance including drift detection and hallucination mitigation
- Define AI infrastructure patterns for both cloud-native deployments (AWS SageMaker, AWS Bedrock) and constrained or air-gapped environments where standard cloud tooling is unavailable
- Evaluate and recommend AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or equivalent) and embedding/vector store technologies for enterprise-scale deployments
- Embed responsible AI principles — fairness, explainability, security, and auditability — into architecture standards and design patterns
- Identify and champion opportunities where AI can generate measurable business value across client operations, replacing or augmenting manual processes
Security, Compliance & Governance
- Architect zero-trust security models and enforce least-privilege access controls across hybrid cloud and AI platforms
- Define data governance frameworks including data classification, lineage, residency, and privacy controls aligned to regulatory requirements
- Lead security architecture reviews and threat modelling for cloud and AI systems
- Ensure architecture deliverables comply with Singapore government security and compliance standards where applicable (IM8, GCC, DSS, or equivalent)
- Support eligibility for and operation within security-cleared and restricted environments
Stakeholder Engagement & Delivery
- Lead client-facing technical workshops, architecture inductions, and onboarding programmes for enterprise and government tenants
- Collaborate with engineering, data, platform, and product teams to ensure architecture intent is faithfully implemented
- Contribute to pre-sales activities including proposals, solutioning, RFP responses, and client presentations
- Mentor and develop junior architects and engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning
- Produce high-quality architecture artefacts including reference architectures, solution design documents, ADRs (Architecture Decision Records), and roadmaps
