Role Posting Log in to save

The AWS Cloud Architect will join the team to design and implement scalable, secure, and resilient cloud and network architectures for enterprise applications. The role involves architecting multi-account, multi-region environments and establishing standardized patterns for networking, compute, storage, and security. Key responsibilities include developing custom and reusable infrastructure components using AWS CDK with Python or TypeScript, and implementing AWS VPC Lattice for service connectivity. The architect must manage VPC architecture, subnetting, routing, DNS, and security groups while ensuring least-privilege access through IAM. The position requires deep expertise in troubleshooting complex networking issues and designing cloud-native communication patterns. This role solves the technical challenge of maintaining secure, high-availability connectivity and automated infrastructure management across complex, distributed enterprise AWS environments.
