AWS Cloud Architect

Overview

As a Cloud Architect, your primary role will be to lead the technical direction for an engagement as you align with the client’s goals and business objectives. You will architect all aspects of the solution, including security, performance, availability, maintainability, and cost, while keeping the customer’s business objectives top of mind. Candidates should have a solid understanding of cloud architecture best practices and the ability to communicate the proposed strategy to a client effectively.

The architect will be involved in all phases of a client engagement, from discovery through implementation, and will serve as the primary technical mentor to the delivery team.
