Senior Cloud Solutions Architect

Vacancy:
Migration Architect AWS | Amsterdam | € up to 150K  For an international engineering and IT consultancy we are looking for a Migration Architect who doesn’t just understand AWS migrations, but has led several of them. The company was founded by engineers, employs tens of thousands of people worldwide and is building a specialised AWS business group in Amsterdam. No secondment: you work outcome-based on projects where the company owns the result.
Tech:  AWS | Terraform/Cloud Formation | Python | AWS MGN/DMS | Landing zones | Migration architecture
You’ll join an AWS team of 30+ technically outstanding engineers in the Netherlands. You are the bridge to the client: you lead discovery and migration workshops, build the wave plan from high level to low level, and take both client and team along to the final cutover. Roughly 80% of your time goes to leading, planning and advising; about 20% you get hands‑on.

You work alongside platform, database and security architects on projects of at least twelve months for major international brands in retail, consumer goods and financial services.
Requirements   Demonstrable experience leading several cloud migrations, preferably from on-premises to AWS (discovery, wave planning, cutover);
Solid understanding of landing zones, platform engineering and hybrid connectivity between on-premises and cloud;
A strong technical foundation in Terraform or Cloud Formation and Python, plus knowledge of storage, rightsizing and observability;
You’re a true consultant: you build trust with clients and lead a team;
Strong command of Dutch and English.
Why apply   A key role in an AWS team that is deliberately investing in client focus: you help shape that culture;
Consultancy secondment: outcome-based projects, and you stay part of your own team;
Projects of at least twelve months with major international brands, then on to the next client;
Lead rather than only build: roughly 80% leading and advising, 20% hands‑on;
Plenty of learning: in‑house training, certifications and a global knowledge community;
Permanent contract with 26 holiday days, pension, employee share purchase plan, commuting allowance and bike lease.
Location  Amsterdam (hybrid, 1 or 2 days working in the office a week)
Salary  up to €150.000,- per year
