[Job - 31716] Cloud Architect

At CI&T, we help large enterprises transform the potential of AI into real business impact with AI Deployment, AI-native execution, and tech-integrated business solutions.

• Coordinate with DevOps to ensure the proposed specifications align with existing platform standards and operational practices.
