Introduction: A Career at HARMAN Automotive

Were a global multi-disciplinary team thats putting the innovative power of technology to work and transforming tomorrow. At HARMAN Automotive we give you the keys to fast-trackyour career.

• Engineer audio systems and integrated technology platforms that augment the driving experience.

• Combine ingenuity in-depth research and a spirit of collaboration with design and engineering excellence.

• Advance in-vehicle infotainment safety efficiency and enjoyment.

About the Role

In this role you will report to the Manager Cloud Operations. As a Principal Specialist - Cloud you will lead architecture and engineering across multiple cloud providers (AWS Azure GCP) defining secure scalable and cost-effective cloud platforms and reference architectures for the Corporate division. You will partner closely with infrastructure and development teams to accelerate delivery through AI-enabled capabilities and automation while ensuring strong GRCSP (governance risk compliance security and privacy) by design.

What You Will Do

Own and evolve multi-cloud architecture (AWS Azure GCP) including target-state designs reference architectures and platform standards.
Drive cloud engineering decisions across providers: landing zones networking identity compute storage observability resiliency and service catalog patterns.
Act as a business liaison for cloud: translate business objectives into technical roadmaps and align stakeholders across infrastructure application development and security teams.
Work with business leaders and teams in executing business related projects primarily with the focus on technical and cloud infrastructure and implementing new services and functionalities as required by business projects.
Enable AI and modern platform capabilities (e.g. data/AI services MLOps patterns secure access to foundation models) in collaboration with product and engineering teams.
Lead automation strategy and implementation for Cloud Operations using Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD (e.g. Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep) policy-as-code and self-service workflows.
Design and enforce GRCSP guardrails: governance frameworks risk management compliance requirements security baselines and privacy controls across all cloud platforms.
Establish cloud security architecture patterns (identity encryption network segmentation secrets management) and partner with SOC GRC vulnerability management and application teams to remediate findings.
Lead architecture reviews for new initiatives and major changes; ensure designs meet non-functional requirements (availability performance security compliance operability and cost).
Drive cost management and FinOps practices: tagging/chargeback models unit economics rightsizing commitment programs and architectural tradeoffs.
Partner with IT Operations on reliability and incident learnings (post-incident reviews problem management) driving platform improvements and preventive controls.
Create and maintain cloud standards blueprints and documentation; provide guidance workshops and coaching to engineering teams to accelerate adoption.
Define and track a cloud architecture roadmap and key outcomes (security posture compliance adherence automation coverage platform reliability and cost efficiency) across the Corporate division.
Evaluate cloud services security tooling and automation platforms; make recommendations and guide implementation with a focus on standardization and reuse.
Manage infrastructure network and security services such as VPC/VNet VWAN/TGW WAF ELB/AppGw IAM S3 EC2 EBS and other AWS Azure and GCP native cloud services.
Manage multiple simultaneous fast-paced projects including infrastructure incident management installations patching upgrades etc.
Collaborate with the Cloud Operations team and multiple infrastructure security and application teams to deploy and manage cloud resources in a multi-cloud environment.
Build and report cloud posture metrics (GRCSP controls audit readiness security remediation progress cost optimization and automation maturity) to support decision-making.
Collaborate with a diverse globally distributed team and communicate architecture decisions clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

What You Need to Be Successful

Masters degree or Bachelors degree with relevant experience in Computer Science Information Technology Engineering or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
7 years of experience in cloud engineering and architecture with proven delivery on at least two major cloud platforms (Azure AWS GCP).
Strong knowledge of cloud and platform architecture fundamentals: networking DNS load balancing identity and access management compute/container platforms storage and resilience patterns.
Hands-on experience designing for GRCSP: governance and policy controls risk management security architecture privacy-by-design and audit/compliance readiness in cloud environments.

Bonus Points if You Have

Proficiency with AI integration with automation and Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform CloudFormation Bicep) and CI/CD practices; scripting skills (PowerShell Python or similar) preferred.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to bridge business needs and technical execution across infrastructure development and security teams.
