You will engage in discussions that shape the future of the enterprise, ensuring that architectural decisions support business objectives and drive innovation across the organization. Roles & Responsibilities: • Lead multiple large-scale AWS transformation initiatives—defining cloud adoption strategies, modernization roadmaps, and enterprise-scale architecture blueprints. • Architect end-to-end AWS solutions, leveraging native services for compute, storage, networking, and security, with a focus on scalability, cost optimization, and resilience. • Partner with pursuit and sales teams to develop innovative, cost-effective AWS solutions for new opportunities, RFPs, and proactive proposals. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners to drive solution convergence, technical validation, and client alignment across all phases of the sales cycle. • Participate actively in client orals and executive discussions, effectively articulating the AWS value proposition and differentiators. • Lead the design and prototyping of proof-of-concept (PoC) architectures and accelerators to demonstrate solution feasibility and innovation. • Define migration strategies aligned with the 6Rs framework (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain) and help clients modernize applications using cloud-native services. • Apply AWS Well-Architected Framework principles to evaluate and optimize workloads for security, performance, reliability, operational excellence, and cost efficiency. • Develop reusable solution assets, accelerators, and reference architectures for consistent delivery across engagements. • Provide thought leadership in AWS architecture best practices, emerging trends (AI/ML, serverless, edge computing, GenAI, etc.), and industry-specific modernization patterns. • Mentor and guide architecture teams, fostering capability development, technical excellence, and innovation within the AWS practice. Professional & Technical Skills: • Total Experience: 15–25 years in IT, with at least 5+ years of hands-on experience in AWS architecture and cloud transformations. • Certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional (mandatory). Specialty certifications (Security, Advanced Networking, Machine Learning, DevOps, or Data Analytics) are highly desirable. • Cloud-Native Expertise: Proficient in designing architectures leveraging AWS services such as EC2, Lambda, S3, EKS/ECS, CloudFront, CloudFormation, RDS, DynamoDB, and CloudWatch. • Automation & IaC: Extensive hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, and configuration management tools like Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or Packer. • Programming & Scripting: Strong working knowledge of at least one programming language (preferably Python) for automation, orchestration, and API integration. • Migration & Modernization: Proven track record in large-scale application migration and modernization, including re-platforming, containerization, and refactoring for AWS. • Performance & Cost Optimization: Deep understanding of AWS cost management, optimization frameworks, and performance tuning of cloud workloads. • Security & Compliance: Working knowledge of IAM, KMS, VPC security, encryption, and compliance frameworks (CIS, ISO, NIST). • AI/ML Exposure: Familiarity with AWS AI/ML stack (SageMaker, Rekognition, Bedrock, etc.) and integration of ML capabilities within cloud-native architectures. • Delivery & Estimation: Skilled in effort estimation techniques for cloud-native and modernization projects, including deal shaping, pricing strategy, and commercial construct design. • Methodologies: Experience working in Agile/DevOps environments, leveraging CI/CD pipelines and modern delivery methods. • Client Engagement: Extensive experience in client-facing roles, including pre-sales, consulting, delivery leadership, and solution governance. Additional Information: • Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder management skills across business and technical audiences. • Strategic mindset with the ability to bridge business objectives and technical solutions. • Proven ability to lead teams, influence outcomes, and deliver results in high-impact client engagements. • Passion for continuous learning and innovation in emerging cloud technologies and architectures.
