The Principal Architect, Infrastructure leads the design and evolution of Carnival’s enterprise infrastructure across cloud, data centers, networks, platforms, security, and shipboard technology environments. The role typically requires a bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology, engineering, or a related field, along with extensive experience in infrastructure architecture, cloud platforms, enterprise networking, cybersecurity, and technology strategy. Strong knowledge of architecture frameworks, reliability, disaster recovery, automation, and vendor management is expected. The candidate should be comfortable influencing senior leaders, translating business needs into scalable technical solutions, documenting standards, and guiding engineering teams. Experience in large global enterprises, travel, hospitality, or maritime operations is advantageous. Occasional travel and collaboration across offices, ships, and international technology teams may be required.
Carnival Cruise Line is one of the world’s largest cruise operators and a flagship brand of Carnival Corporation & plc. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, the company operates a large fleet serving destinations throughout the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico, Alaska, Europe, and other popular cruise regions. Carnival provides holidays built around entertainment, dining, recreation, family activities, excursions, and onboard hospitality. Its workforce includes shoreside professionals and shipboard employees in marine operations, hotel services, culinary arts, guest relations, entertainment, sales, finance, and technology. As a major cruise company, Carnival relies on complex digital platforms, resilient infrastructure, and secure connectivity to support guests, crew, ships, and corporate operations worldwide. The company generally promotes a fast-paced, multicultural working environment with opportunities for professional development and international exposure.
A cruise-based technology role is usually shoreside in Miami rather than located on a specific island, although the work may support ships and destinations across the Caribbean. Cruise companies offer opportunities in IT, marine operations, hospitality, food and beverage, entertainment, guest services, engineering, and administration. Life connected with the cruise industry is multicultural, structured, and fast-moving, with collaboration across offices and vessels. Employees may experience travel, discounted cruises, and exposure to island communities, but ship assignments can involve long hours and limited personal space. U.S.-based applicants generally need authorization to work in the United States; shipboard employees may need passports, medical clearance, background checks, and relevant visas or seafarer documents. Relocating to Miami requires arranging housing, transportation, healthcare, and work authorization. Always confirm visa, travel, and relocation support directly with Carnival before accepting an offer.
