## Description

The Hosting Architect will lead Fortrea's enterprise transition from on-premises data centres to Hyperscaler, delivering a modern, resilient, and automated hosting platform that accelerates application delivery and business innovation.

This role owns the target-state Azure and hybrid hosting architecture, governs large-scale cloud migration, and modernises operations through automation, Infrastructure as Code, and AI-driven operations.

**Responsibilities:**

**Cloud Migration & Hybrid Architecture**

- Define and own Fortrea's target-state Cloud hosting architecture aligned to business and technology strategy.

- Design and govern hybrid architectures during phased migration from on-premises to Cloud.

- Lead workload migration strategies (rehost, re-platform, refactor, retire) to balance speed, risk, and value.

- Act as the architectural authority for hosting and Cloud migration decisions.

**Cloud Platform & Cloud-Native Enablement**

- Architect Cloud platforms including landing zones, identity, networking, security, HA, and DR.

- Establish standardised Cloud reference architectures and blueprints to accelerate application onboarding.

- Enable self-service, repeatable platforms that reduce delivery lead time for application and product teams.

- Drive adoption of cloud-native services to simplify operations and improve scalability and cost efficiency.

**Automation, IaC & AI-Led Operations**

- Implement an automation-first operating model across hybrid and Cloud environments.

- Build and govern Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform, ARM/Bicep, PowerShell, Python, or Ansible.

- Introduce AIOps and intelligent automation for predictive monitoring, self-healing, and faster incident resolution.

- Reduce environment provisioning time, manual effort, and operational cost through standardisation and automation.

**Operational Excellence, Resilience & Governance**

- Embed resiliency, observability, and reliability engineering into all hosting designs.

- Improve platform availability, reduce incidents, and optimise recovery objectives (RTO/RPO).

- Ensure hosting platforms meet security, audit, and regulatory requirements.

- Provide architectural leadership across infrastructure, application, security, and compliance teams.

**Value & Outcomes**

- Faster and safer Cloud migration at enterprise scale.

- Reduced time-to-provision and change lead times for applications.

- Improved platform reliability, availability, and recovery performance.

- Measurable reduction in hosting OPEX through automation and cloud optimisation.

- Hosting platforms that accelerate business capability delivery, not constrain it.

**Qualifications (Minimum Required):**

- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

- Excellent communication and public speaking skills, with the ability to present complex architectural concepts to senior leadership, technical teams, and non-technical stakeholders.

**Required skills (Minimum Required):**

- 10+ years in hosting, infrastructure, or cloud architecture roles.

- Proven leadership of large-scale Cloud migration programs.

- Strong foundation in enterprise datacentre technologies and hybrid architectures.

- Deep hands-on experience with Cloud compute, networking, storage, identity, and security.

- Experience designing hybrid connectivity and phased migration strategies.

- Strong experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and scripting.

- Exposure to AIOps or intelligent automation platforms.

- Demonstrated success in reducing operational effort and cost through automation.
