Senior Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure Architect

Connor, Clark & Lunn Financial Group Ltd.

Vancouver, BC

We are seeking a Senior Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure Architect to join our Infrastructure team and drive modernization efforts across our hybrid environment. This role is critical to improving how we integrate On-Premises Data Centers with Microsoft Azure, supporting our transition away from legacy technologies, and strengthening cloud operations across the organization.

You will work alongside senior engineers, collaborate with IS teams, and help uplift our infrastructure landscape by implementing hybrid best practices, enhancing operational excellence, and promoting cloud adoption and automation strategies.

This role will also play a key part in mentoring and uplifting the current Infrastructure team's skills toward cloud-based management and preparing for future cloud-first initiatives.

What You Will Do

• Lead and support hybrid infrastructure operations, from day-to-day system health to high-impact modernization and migration projects.
• Architect and evolve hybrid cloud solutions that improve performance, resiliency, security, and cost-efficiency across both data centers and Azure.
• Design and manage infrastructure services across compute, storage, networking, identity, and backup — both cloud-native and on-premises.
• Champion automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to increase repeatability, scalability, and compliance.
• Oversee the full system lifecycle — including provisioning, decommissioning, patching, and monitoring — with an eye on operational excellence and process maturity.
• Drive hybrid network architecture, including ExpressRoute, SD-WAN, VPNs, and inter-site connectivity.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders, security teams, and service providers to align infrastructure with business goals, compliance needs, and cloud-first strategies.
• Mentor infrastructure team members and help build a strong foundation in cloud-native skills and DevOps practices.
• Identify and address legacy bottlenecks, propose solutions to reduce technical debt, and help prioritize infrastructure improvements and platform upgrades.
  
  

What You Will Bring

• You follow through without needing micromanagement and raise issues early to keep work on track.
• You don’t wait for perfect instructions—you seek out what’s needed and get it done.
• You’re always learning, experimenting, and iterating to stay ahead of change.
• You work well across disciplines, aligning stakeholders and sharing knowledge to achieve better outcomes.
• You look beyond symptoms to design scalable, sustainable solutions.
• You stay grounded in what’s right for the business, the team, and the mission—even under pressure.
• You bring clarity and structure to dynamic, shifting environments without slowing down.
• Whether it’s a technical review or a roadmap presentation, you know how to make complex ideas clear.
• You help others grow, guiding your peers and teammates toward stronger cloud practices.
• You care about results, not just checklists and take pride in building systems that last.
  
  

Preferred Experience

• 5+ years of experience in IT infrastructure or systems engineering, with increasing responsibility in hybrid cloud environments.
• Proven track record designing, deploying, and supporting enterprise hybrid infrastructure — integrating Azure with on-prem data centers.
• Hands-on expertise with Azure services like Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), Azure Arc, hybrid networking (e.g., ExpressRoute, VPNs), and cloud storage integrations.
• Strong foundation in cloud governance, policy, RBAC, cost optimization, and automation frameworks (e.g., Bicep, PowerShell, ARM, or Terraform).
• Experience supporting or leading infrastructure modernization initiatives, such as server and workload migrations, DR planning, or automation of provisioning.
• Familiarity with Zero Trust, network segmentation, and security alignment in hybrid environments.
• Microsoft certifications (e.g., AZ-104, AZ-700, AZ-140, AZ-305) are a strong asset, especially when backed by real-world implementation experience
