Brainbox Consulting BV aligning great talent with clients’ needs is at the core of who we are. We are passionate about our consultants, our clients, and our Partners. Our rich IT legacy combined with our unyielding care for our people and business is the driving force behind all we do, and we deliver! On this journey, we are looking for Cloud Technical Architect who is also interested to take on a wide range of activities.

About the Role
As a Cloud Technical Architect, you guide customers in making strategic decisions about their cloud architecture within the Public Cloud environment. You translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and future-proof solutions that align with enterprise standards and long-term goals. This role requires deep architectural expertise combined with a strong understanding of the TCP/IP stack, as networking forms a critical foundation of the platform and is comparable in complexity to hyperscalers such as AWS.

Key Responsibilities
• Design end-to-end cloud architectures within Public Cloud
• Translate business needs into scalable, secure, and future-proof technical solutions
• Define and implement landing zones and reusable architectural patterns
• Advise on platform choices, cost optimization, risk, and time-to-market
• Lead technical discussions across all levels, from C-level stakeholders to engineering teams
• Ensure alignment with security, compliance, and performance requirements
• Support cloud migration strategies (rehost, replatform, refactor)
• Guide integration with existing enterprise IT landscapes (on-premise and hybrid)
• Contribute across the full lifecycle: strategy, design, and implementation

Required Skills & Experience
• Strong expertise in cloud architecture (IaaS, PaaS, containers, Kubernetes)
• Experience with cloud platforms comparable to AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Deep understanding of the TCP/IP stack (core requirement)
• Strong networking knowledge (connectivity, latency, hybrid architectures, routing, DNS)
• Experience with cloud migration strategies (rehost, replatform, refactor)
• Understanding of enterprise IT environments (SAP, legacy systems, integrations)
• Knowledge of security and compliance (IAM, data residency, sovereignty)
• Experience with cost optimization and FinOps principles

Profile
• Self-starter who proactively drives technical initiatives
• Strong ownership of customer onboarding and architectural outcomes
• Strategic thinker with the ability to translate vision into execution
• Hands-on mindset (not a “PowerPoint architect”)
• Able to balance long-term architecture with short-term delivery

Soft Skills
• Strong communication skills in customer-facing environments
• Ability to simplify complex technical concepts for different audiences
• Confident in leading discussions and guiding decision-making
• Challenges assumptions constructively while maintaining trust
• Strong stakeholder management across business and technical teams
