Cloud Architect in Poland: read the median against a +24% outlook

The Poland national median for a cloud architect is 741 000 zł a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 458 000 zł in Kraków to 548 000 zł in Warsaw (1.2×).

Cloud architects design secure, scalable cloud infrastructure and migration strategy. Common screening skills include AWS, Azure, Networking, and Security.

A modeled national band runs about 460 900 zł–1 083 300 zł around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +24% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Polish city.

Warsaw sits -26% vs the national median; Kraków sits -38%. Relocating inside Poland for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

Poland shows about 3.8% CPI in 2025. A cloud architect raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax.
