Infrastructure Architect

We are looking for an 'Infrastructure Architect' for our client.

Architectural Governance Roadmap: Define and enforce enterprise-wide infrastructure architectural standards and policies. You will be responsible for setting the "rules of the road" for our hybrid infrastructure and ensuring all stakeholders adhere to them.

Hybrid Topology Management: Design and manage the integration between on-premise data centers and cloud service providers. Ensure that our hybrid topology is optimized for performance, scalability, and resilience.

Operational Alignment: Develop comprehensive service blueprints that ensure our infrastructure supports business continuity. You will act as the bridge between technical operations and architectural vision.

Security Integration: Collaborate closely with the security/CISO office to translate cyber and network security standards into actionable infrastructure requirements. You are responsible for implementing these standards effectively across our systems.

Transformation Leadership: Provide strategic oversight during our migration and transformation phases, ensuring that third-party managed services align with our internal architectural standards.

Enterprise Blueprinting: Define the 3-to-5-year İnfrastructure roadmap. Govern architectural compliance to ensure all infrastructure investments support Group-wide standards.

Industrial Digitalization (OT/IT): Design secure edge-compute architectures that bridge the gap between real-time manufacturing data and central AI-driven analytics.

FinOps Sustainability: Implement FinOps disciplines to optimize TCO and energy consumption, aligning IT infrastructure with the Akkök Holding UN Global Compact commitments.

Resilience Continuity: Lead the design of highly resilient failover patterns and disaster recovery blueprints that satisfy aggressive recovery metrics (RTO/RPO) for industrial manufacturing.

nitelikler

Certification: TOGAF certification is mandatory. A demonstrable ability to apply enterprise architecture frameworks in complex environments is required.

Industry Experience: Substantial experience in the manufacturing/production sector. You must have a deep understanding of production-critical IT requirements and the operational constraints of industrial facilities.

Hybrid Cloud Expertise: Extensive experience designing and managing hybrid architectures (integrating Public/Managed Cloud with On-Premise Data Centers). You must be capable of managing complex topologies.Deep expertise in orchestrating hybrid and multi-cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP). Proficient in modern, containerized paradigms (Kubernetes/Docker) and serverless architectures.

ERP Landscape Proficiency: Proven architectural experience with SAP and Oracle E-Business Suite. You should understand how these systems interact within a production environment.

Industrial Cybersecurity Resilience: Advanced knowledge of Zero-Trust (ZTNA) frameworks, threat modeling, and specialized security requirements for Operational Technology (ICS/SCADA). Ability to embed compliance (GDPR/KVKK) into the architectural design phase ("Privacy by Design").

Governance Compliance: Strong ability to act as a standard-setter. You must have experience implementing governance models and ensuring compliance with established security and architectural standards.

Strategic Transformation: Proven track record of leading large-scale infrastructure transformations. You must be comfortable working in a high-intensity, transformation-heavy environment.

Soft Skills: Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are essential. You must be able to work effectively across teams—including security, operations, and business units—to drive architectural adoption.

Performance Engineering: Expert-level experience in load testing, system performance management, and middleware orchestration to ensure zero-downtime reliability for mission-critical industrial workloads.

Architectural Governance: Practical application of EA frameworks (TOGAF) to streamline IT landscapes, eliminate technical debt, and ensure scalable growth across multiple subsidiary tenants.

Language: Proficiency in English suitable for professional business communication.
