Remote Pro Ai provides vetted Cloud Architects for multi-cloud and sovereign estates across hyperscalers and in-Kingdom regions. They design landing zones, identity, networking and governance at enterprise scale, architect data-residency patterns for Saudi, UAE and EU regions, and lead rehost, replatform and refactor decisions.
Your Cloud Architect designs landing zones, identity, networking and governance at enterprise scale, and leads migration strategy: rehost, replatform, refactor with risk control. Typical stack: AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud and Terraform.
Cloud Architect is among the strongest Gulf demands as new in-country cloud regions open in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Banks, ministries and giga-projects must decide which workloads move where under NCA cloud controls and SAMA rules. Those decisions fix cost and compliance for years, so experienced architects are scarce.

MatchIQ™ is our vetting and matching engine: 3.4% of applicants pass 5 gates. The live assessment for this role tests the 5 capabilities above against a realistic task, not trivia.
Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site.

VAT is shown separately, quotes can be viewed in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, and every quotation is valid for 30 days. The Squad Builder shows your quote instantly.
Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.
This role is offered at Senior and Lead only. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.
A sovereign cloud keeps data, operations and often key management within a specific jurisdiction, under local legal control. You need it when regulation or contracts require in-country residency, which applies to many government, banking and critical-infrastructure workloads in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Yes. Our bench designs across all 4 using Terraform and each provider’s Well-Architected framework. Many hold AWS SA Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert or GCP Professional Architect certification, verified with the issuer. Recommendations stay vendor-neutral and are recorded in architecture decision records.
They assess each application on business value, technical condition, compliance needs and migration risk, then assign a strategy with a cost and timeline. Quick rehosts free up the data centre; refactoring is reserved for systems where cloud-native design pays back in agility or cost.
Architects build FinOps into the design: tagging and account structures for cost allocation, right-sized reference patterns, commitment planning and budgets with alerts. Our Cloud Landing Zone Squad includes a FinOps engineer, so cost governance starts on day one rather than after the first surprise invoice.
