AWS Solutions Architect

AWS Solutions Architect

As a hands‑on AWS Solutions Architect you will bridge the gap between high‑level enterprise cloud strategy and elite software engineering. In a builder role, you will not just author architectural diagrams or deploy brief proofs‑of‑concept (POCs) but you will also write clean code, model distributed databases, and directly launch production‑grade Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). You will actively leverage modern Generative AI and Large Language Model (LLM) developer tools to accelerate engineering, refactoring, and deployment velocity.

You will have a proven track record of shipping actual products or production‑scale software, moving far beyond mere exploratory POCs or localized sandboxes.

• MVP Software & Cloud Engineering: Move rapidly from whiteboard diagrams to writing production‑ready code. Ship fully realized, high‑availability MVPs directly into cloud environments.
• System Design & Governance: Architect secure, multi‑account AWS environments.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Author and maintain production‑grade deployment scripts using Terraform, AWS Cloud Formation, or AWS CDK.
• GenAI‑Driven Development: Integrate GenAI assistant tools seamlessly into daily workflows to expedite IaC creation, code generation, troubleshooting, and architectural optimization.
• CI/CD Automation: Build and manage continuous integration and deployment pipelines using tools like Jenkins.
• Security & IAM: Enforce least‑privilege access, Service Control Policies (SCPs), and compliance frameworks across the enterprise.
• Modern Data Modeling & Strategy: Architect multi‑region data layers matching the right database to the right workload. Build scalable transactional systems across relational, non‑relational, and next‑generation serverless distributed technologies.
• Optimization & Troubleshooting: Drive cloud cost optimization (Fin Ops) and perform deep technical troubleshooting during system outages.

• 10+ years in IT/software engineering, with at least 3-5 years focused directly on AWS cloud platforms.
• Execution: A proven track record of shipping actual products or production‑scale software, moving far beyond mere exploratory POCs or localized sandboxes.
• Scripting & Coding
  
  Languages:
  
  Strong coding ability in Java, Python, Bash, or Type Script.
• Demonstrated ability using GenAI assistants or LLM developer tools (e.g., Git Hub Copilot or Claude) to accelerate code generation, rewrite legacy scripts, automate documentation, and debug infrastructure deployment failures.
• Hands‑on engineering with Amazon ECS (Fargate/EC2) and Amazon EKS.
• Core networking and compute mastery: VPC, EC2, Lambda, and IAM.
• Relational:
  Deep expertise in PostgreSQL, Amazon RDS, or Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL performance tuning and connection pooling.
• No
  
  SQL:
  Advanced data modeling using Amazon DynamoDB (single‑table design, GSIs, DynamoDB Streams).
• Distributed SQL:
  Practical exposure or design utilizing Amazon Aurora DSQL for active‑active, multi‑region scalability.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).

• Experience in fintech/payments domains.
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate or Professional is highly preferred.

• This role is on‑site Monday through Friday. In‑person collaboration is an essential part of this role.
• You must possess valid and unrestricted U.S. work authorization. Individuals with temporary visas, including F‑1 (OPT, CPT, STEM), H‑1B, H‑2, or TN, or requiring sponsorship, are not considered.
• This is a full‑time, direct‑hire position; no contract options for unsolicited agency submissions will be considered.
• All offers of employment are contingent on standard background checks. If this position supports a federal or state contract, a background check will be conducted by the U.S. Government or relevant agency.
