Aws Cloud Architect

JD: Role Summary Design secure, reliable, and cost-efficient AWS infrastructure, Cloud Migration Strategy, FinOps Governance and architectures with automated, observable DevOps pipelines. Key Responsibilities • Multi-account landing zones, VPC design, EKS/ECS, serverless, data platforms, and security controls. • Define Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) Architecture with enterprise systems such as TeamWorks, Gurobi Optimizer, CRM, ITSM, H2 / Heisenberg II using AWS EventBridge, SNS, SQS, Step Functions • IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation), GitOps, and platform observability (CloudWatch/Prometheus/Grafana/LGTM stack/Datadog/Splunk). • Cost optimization (Savings Plans/RI, right-sizing), resiliency (multi-AZ/DR patterns). • Design and govern DR provisioning strategies RTO/RPO definition, failover automation, and backup/restore validation. • Load balancer architecture — ALB, NLB, and Kubernetes Ingress design for internal and external traffic. • Define architecture standards, review designs, and mentor engineering teams. • Engage with stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable cloud solutions. Mandatory • 12+ years of hands-on AWS experience with Solutions Architect Professional or equivalent certification. • Deep expertise in AWS networking — VPC, Transit Gateway, PrivateLink, Route 53, ALB, and NLB. • Strong proficiency in IAM, KMS, WAF, Shield, and Secrets Manager. • Hands-on experience with S3 (lifecycle policies, replication, versioning), RDS (Multi-AZ, read replicas, snapshots), and backup/restore design. • Kafka (MSK or self-managed) for event streaming architectures — topic design, partitioning, and consumer group management. • DR provisioning design — active/passive, active/active, and pilot light patterns with automated failover. • Kubernetes architecture on EKS — cluster design, RBAC, networking (CNI, Ingress controllers), and storage. • Strong IaC skills — Terraform and/or CloudFormation at enterprise scale. • Experience designing multi-account environments using AWS Control Tower / Organizations. • Proven CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild). Good to Have • Observability expertise — CloudWatch (metrics, logs, alarms, dashboards) and LGTM stack (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, Mimir). • Familiarity with FinOps practices and tooling (AWS Cost Explorer, Compute Optimizer, Spot). • Exposure to service mesh architectures (App Mesh, Istio). • Knowledge of compliance frameworks — SOC2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS. • Hands-on experience with GitOps tooling (ArgoCD, Flux). • Experience with AWS data platforms (Redshift, Glue, Lake Formation), Data Lake Architecture, Data Governance, Lakehouse Patterns. Optional • AWS DevOps Engineer Professional certification. • Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid cloud patterns. • Scripting/automation skills in Python or Go. • Prior experience in financial services, healthcare, or regulated industries.
