Job Title:  T&T - OIDS - Associate Director - Infrastructure - Bangalore

The Team

Deloitte’s Technology and Transformation team converts raw satellite imagery to a deliverable analytical product which includes writing processing code, designing the statistical approach, and communicating the results clearly. The practice can help you uncover and unlock the value buried deep inside vast amounts of data.

The team combines geospatial domain knowledge with a practical, hands-on approach to building things.Our team works across platforms and environments including Google Earth Engine, Python, QGIS, and cloud infrastructure, but is fundamentally focused on solving applied problems with spatial data rather than adhering to a fixed toolset.

Our global network provides strategic guidance and implementation services to help companies and Governments manage data from disparate sources and convert it into accurate, actionable information that can support fact-driven decision-making and generate an insight-driven advantage.

Our practice addresses the continuum of opportunities in business intelligence & visualization, data management, performance management and next-generation analytics and technologies, including big data, cloud, cognitive and machine learning all leveraging data from satellites, UAVs, IoT sensors etc. across environment and sustainability, infrastructure, and energy domains.

Your work profile

• This role sits at the intersection of geospatial/remote sensing science and AI  - suited to accomplished senior engineering leader who can lead the design, delivery, and operation of large‑scale, enterprise‑grade technology platforms for complex client environments.
• Operate across architecture, delivery, and operations and be responsible for ensuring that platform and infrastructure foundations are secure, scalable, resilient, and fit for purpose across development, deployment, and run phases.
• Collaborate with application engineering, data, security, and architecture teams, as well as senior client stakeholders.
• Own platform and environment strategy across development, test, and production, ensuring consistency, reliability, security, and cost efficiency.
• Design and govern cloud and hybrid infrastructure using infrastructure‑as‑code, standardised landing zones, and automated provisioning approaches.
• Establish DevOps and platform engineering practices, including CI/CD, GitOps, environment management, observability, incident response, and release governance.
• Oversee deployment and operational readiness for critical enterprise platforms, including scalability, availability, disaster recovery, backup, and performance optimisation.
• Collaborate with security teams to embed security‑by‑design, compliance, and risk controls across infrastructure, pipelines, and runtime environments.
• Provide technical leadership and assurance across multiple concurrent workstreams, ensuring architectural integrity and delivery quality.
• Translate evolving client requirements into clear platform strategies, roadmaps, and execution plans.
• Act as a senior point of escalation for complex technical issues related to platform stability, deployments, or operational failures.
• Engage directly with client leadership to provide trusted‑advisor guidance on platform modernisation, cloud adoption, DevOps maturity, and operating‑model transformation.
• Mentor team members in building high‑performing teams and strengthening engineering capability.
• Fulfil broader responsibilities including team leadership, practice development activities including reusable assets, accelerators, standards, proposals, and thought leadership relevant to platform engineering and cloud operations, quality assurance, commercial awareness, and contribution to practice capability building

Key skills required: 

• Extensive experience designing, building, and operating enterprise‑grade platforms and cloud infrastructure in complex, large‑scale environments : 9 -12 years.
• Strong architectural understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP or equivalent), including networking, identity, security, compute, and managed services.
• Proven expertise in DevOps and platform engineering practices such as CI/CD, infrastructure‑as‑code, configuration management, and automation.
• Hands‑on experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, managed container platforms).
• Experience establishing observability, monitoring, logging, and alerting distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of non‑functional requirements including security, resilience, performance, reliability, and cost optimisation.
• Experience leading engineering teams, conducting design reviews, setting technical standards, and ensuring delivery quality.
• Track record of delivering platform or infrastructure initiatives in regulated, high‑availability, or mission‑critical environments.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s/ Master’s degree/Ph.D in computer science/information technology.
• 10 -15 years of demonstrated experience in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, earth observation, or spatial science.

Location and Way of Working: 

• Base location: Bengaluru
