· AWS Cloud Advisory Architect Posting date August 17, 2026 1. Summary Stefanini North America is hiring a Principal AWS Solution Architect to serve as the senior technical advisor of record for enterprise clients who operate their own AWS environments and need architectural judgment, escalation depth, and strategic direction they do not have in-house. This is a consulting and advisory role, not a build role.

You will not be the person provisioning infrastructure day to day. You will be the person a client's operations team calls when the decision is architectural, the change is significant, the incident is serious, or the cost curve has started bending the wrong way. Your influence comes from judgment, written clarity, and earned trust rather than from administrative control of the environment.

2. Responsibilities 2.1 Strategic advisory and architecture ownership Serve as the named lead architect of record for assigned advisory accounts, maintaining relationship and technical continuity across the full engagement term rather than rotating in and out.

Own the architectural decision record for each account - decisions taken, alternatives considered, rationale, trade-offs accepted, and the conditions under which a decision should be revisited.

Lead formal AWS Well-Architected Reviews across all pillars, and convert findings into a prioritized, effort-estimated remediation backlog the client can actually sequence and fund. A flat findings list is not an acceptable output.

Develop and maintain multi-year technical roadmaps that account for the client's commercial model and delivery constraints, not only the technically ideal end state.

Provide architectural direction on scalability, resiliency, high availability, and disaster recovery for stateful enterprise workloads, including recovery objective definition and recovery test design.

Provide network architecture direction for hybrid and widely distributed estates - transit and routing domain design, private and site connectivity at scale, and segmentation patterns appropriate where operational technology and information technology environments meet.

Conduct security architecture assessments covering identity and access design, network segmentation, administrative access patterns, detection and response tooling, and overall posture.

Lead cloud financial management work: cost allocation and tagging strategy, commitment planning, and unit-economics modelling - including per-site or per-unit cost models where a client resells a cloud-hosted service to their own customers.

Review infrastructure-as-code strategy, module structure, state management, pipeline design, and drift control, and advise on improvement. 2.2 Client consulting and relationship Act as the single point of technical trust for each assigned account, at both engineering and executive level.

Translate architecture into commercial consequence. You will…
