Cloud Platform Architect - SaaS & IDP Focus
I'm currently supporting a client in the networking tech space, seeking a Cloud Platform Architect to lead the design of a cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS platform and internal developer tooling. This is a strategic, hands-on contract role ideal for someone who can balance architectural clarity with delivery momentum.
About the Engagement
You will be working with a high-trust, engineering-led team building a SaaS solution for managing and monitoring networking devices. The platform is microservices-based, Kubernetes-native, and designed for scale, security, and observability. Youll also lead the buildout of an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) to streamline provisioning, secrets management, service mesh, SSO integration, and centralised metrics.
What You Will Be Driving
Architecture for scalable, secure, multi-tenant SaaS
IDP features: rapid environment provisioning, automated cert/secrets rotation, service mesh, SSO (OIDC/SAML), centralised logging
Cloud standards, patterns, and best practices
Platform scalability, tooling selection, and DevOps workflows
Multi-tenant security and compliance
Mentoring engineers in Kubernetes, GitOps, and cloud-native tooling
Toolkit
Kubernetes: Production-grade ops (upgrades, scaling, DR)
AWS: EKS, RDS, IAM, CloudWatch; multi-cloud familiarity welcome
IaC: Terraform, OpenTofu, Pulumi
CI/CD & GitOps: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, Flux
Networking & Security: VPCs, ingress, RBAC, pod security, zero-trust
Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry
Secrets & Identity: Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, OAuth2, OIDC
Bonus Experience
CNCF ecosystem: Crossplane, Kyverno, OPA, Backstage
IDP design and developer experience
Networking products or telemetry pipelines
FinOps and SaaS compliance (ISO27001, SOC2)
DR, HA, and scaling strategies
Contract Details
Type: Contractor (full-time preferred, part-time negotiable)
Duration: 2 - 6 months
Location: On-site or remote-friendly
If you are a pragmatic architect with a hands-on mindset and a track record of delivering impact in complex cloud environments, we would love to hear from you. This is a great opportunity to shape platform foundations while collaborating with a thoughtful, delivery-focused team. Reach out via CodeMatch to express interest or request more detail.
