Duration: W2 Long term contract

An AWS Cloud Architect designs, deploys, and manages scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services while aligning technical blueprints with business goals.

Key Responsibilities

• Architecture Design: Translate business requirements into high-level system diagrams, network topologies, and multi-tier cloud strategies following the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

• Core AWS Implementation: Build and manage environments using key services like Amazon EC2, VPC, S3, RDS, IAM, and AWS Lambda

• Migration & Modernization: Lead the migration of on-premises servers, databases, and applications to the cloud, including adopting containerization (Docker, Amazon EKS) and serverless patterns.

• Security & Compliance: Establish identity and access controls, network firewalls, encryption standards, and disaster recovery or high-availability protocols.

• Cost & Performance Optimization: Audit cloud spend, right-size compute instances, and tune resource allocation for efficiency.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the bridge between executive stakeholders, development teams, and DevOps engineers. As noted, a cloud architect's daily focus is primarily on strategic design and alignment rather than heavy coding.

• Containers & Orchestration: Experience with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS).
