AWS Solutions Architect
Location: Hybrid 1 day a week in Solihull (first 3 months will be 2/3 days in office)
Our client, a leading Proptech start-up, is looking for 2 x AWS Solutions Architects. The person will ideally have come from a small team and have been in a hands-on position as opposed to having worked for large organisations due to the difference in the way they operate.
This position offers a unique blend of professional growth, collaborative culture, and cutting-edge technology. As an AWS Solutions Architect, you will be at the forefront of designing and implementing robust cloud solutions, ensuring the resilience and efficiency of architectural practices.
Role Responsibilities:
* Enhance the resilience and redundancy of current architecture.
* Provide architectural design and support to engineering teams, adhering to best practices.
* Implement improvements to both current and proposed architectural practices.
* Develop, publish, and promote architectural policies and standards.
* Ensure compliance with IT strategy, policies, and standards across all projects.
* Document architectural designs and decisions for project work.
* Support and guide software engineers in implementing cloud best practices.
Skills & Experience Required:
* Excellent communication skills, capable of engaging with all business stakeholders.
* In-depth knowledge of AWS network, core, and serverless services (AWS certifications preferred).
* Understanding of the Well Architected Framework and security infrastructure best practices.
* Hands-on experience in architecting, designing, and developing cloud solutions.
* Strong grasp of architectural patterns.
* Ability to translate business requirements to development teams and interpret technical feedback.
Your Journey to Success:
* Within 1 Month: Familiarise yourself with AWS services and existing architectures, participate in initial solution designs, and integrate with engineering teams.
* Within 3 Months: Embed into the Desktop Development team, take on significant project roles, and contribute to documentation and best practices.
* Within 6 Months: Lead larger-scale projects, contribute to strategic planning for AWS adoption, and deepen your AWS expertise.
Why This Role Stands Out:
* Flexible Working Policy: Enjoy a hybrid work model (2/3 days a week for first 3 months then down to 1 day a week in office).
* Competitive Salary & Benefits: Including a 5.5% employer pension contribution, 20 days of annual leave (plus your birthday off), and additional days for each year worked, capped at 24 days.
* Health & Wellbeing: Access to Gym Flex, annual flu vaccinations, and other health benefits.
* Professional Development: Formal and in-house training, plus access to Go1 – the world's largest online learning library.
* Social & Community Events: Regular local and company-wide social events, including Tucker Thursday – gourmet cuisine delivered monthly.
* Retail Benefits: Participate in retail benefits and savings through our partner, Benni.
