We are seeking a talented AWS Cloud Architect to join our IT team. In this role, you will be responsible for leading the design and architecture of AWS-based cloud infrastructures, ensuring that the solutions are reliable, high-performing, and secure. You will collaborate with internal stakeholders and engineering teams to develop cloud architectures that align with business goals and support future growth.
Key Responsibilities:
* Architect scalable, reliable, and secure cloud solutions using AWS services like EC2, S3, VPC, RDS, Lambda, CloudFormation, and API Gateway, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
* Define cloud adoption strategies, roadmaps, and migration plans to transition legacy applications and infrastructure to the cloud with minimal disruption.
* Design cost-effective cloud architectures leveraging AWS services, optimizing performance, security, compliance, and resource utilization.
* Use tools like AWS CloudFormation, Terraform, and AWS CDK to automate infrastructure provisioning and management, improving efficiency and reducing manual intervention.
* Provide leadership and guidance to technical teams, ensuring alignment between cloud architecture, application development, and IT operations.
* Monitor cloud infrastructure performance, identify bottlenecks, and recommend optimizations to improve scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
* Create and maintain documentation for cloud architectures, solution designs, and best practices, ensuring knowledge sharing and operational continuity.
* Establish cloud governance frameworks that enforce organizational policies, security standards, and cost management practices.
* Stay updated with the latest AWS services, features, and best practices to drive continuous improvement and innovation in cloud solutions.
Required Skills & Experience:
* Extensive experience designing, implementing, and managing cloud solutions with AWS services such as EC2, S3, VPC, Lambda, RDS, CloudFormation, and IAM.
* Proven expertise in building highly available, fault-tolerant, and scalable architectures, and migrating complex applications to AWS (e.g., replatforming, rearchitecting).
* In-depth knowledge of AWS security best practices (IAM, VPC security, encryption, data protection) and compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR).
* Strong experience with IaC tools like AWS CloudFormation, Terraform, or AWS CDK, and optimizing AWS costs using tools like AWS Cost Explorer and Trusted Advisor.
* Ability to design scalable architectures using Auto Scaling, Load Balancers, CloudWatch, and other AWS services for monitoring and high availability.
* Collaborate with DevOps, development, and IT operations teams to deliver robust cloud solutions and create clear, maintainable documentation for technical teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
* AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional, AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional, or similar certifications.
* Experience with microservices and serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/EKS, and Step Functions.
* Familiarity with multi-cloud environments and integration with other cloud providers (e.g., Azure, GCP) and on-premises systems.
* Expertise in managing containerized applications using Docker, ECS, EKS, or Kubernetes, and deep knowledge of networking (VPC, Direct Connect, VPN, Route 53).
* Experience with CI/CD pipelines using AWS services like CodePipeline and third-party tools like Jenkins or GitLab.
If you are a skilled AWS Cloud Architect with experience in designing, building, and optimizing AWS solutions and want to work on impactful cloud transformation projects, we’d love to hear from you!
