About the Team

Deeeplabs’ Digital Cloud Transformation vision is to create meaningful relationships with our clients by powering the next generation digital enterprise.

Our practice spans the full range of clients’ digital capabilities, from strategy to execution. We help solve complex boardroom problems and prepare clients for tomorrow’s opportunities, creating pathways for technology to enable business visions. Our advisory services cover IT & cloud strategy, IT cost & governance, IT operating model and more. We also design and deliver data and AI platforms that drive advanced analytics, automation, and insight generation.

Role: Cloud Solution Architect / Senior Cloud Engineer

As part of our Cloud Transformation practice, you will help clients design and implement secure, scalable cloud environments to support enterprise applications, data pipelines, and AI workloads. You’ll drive cloud-native and DevSecOps adoption, lead containerized workloads on Kubernetes, and embed security practices into CI/CD and infrastructure pipelines for both application and data/AI deployments.

Key Responsibilities

· Lead proof-of-concepts and migrations of infrastructure, applications, and data platforms to cloud.

· Advise customers on cloud strategy, security architecture, and compliance frameworks (e.g. MAS TRM, PDPA, ISO 27001).

· Drive project delivery – own architecture, design, and planning from infrastructure through systems, applications, data, and AI components.

· Act as workstream lead, managing migration engineering teams, leading discussions, reviewing work, and being hands-on where required.

· Prepare, review, and present required documentation and design artefacts.

· Integrate observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and automated policy enforcement into cloud and AI environments.
