AWS Solution Architect

Required Skills

• AWS
• TIBCO

• Design, provision, and manage scalable, secure, and highly available AWS infrastructure (VPC, EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, IAM, Route 53, Cloud Watch, etc.).
• Define and implement infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform or AWS Cloud Formation.
• Establish networking, security, and governance standards aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework.
• Set up CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure provisioning and application deployments.

• Deploy, configure, and operate Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) clusters in production.
• Manage containerization strategies and support the migration of workloads to Kubernetes.
• Implement Kubernetes best practices: namespace management, RBAC, pod security policies, autoscaling (HPA/VPA/Cluster Autoscaler), and resource quotas.
• Integrate observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Cloud Watch Container Insights, Fluentd/Fluent Bit).
• Maintain Helm charts and manage deployments through Git Ops workflows (e.g., ArgoCD or Flux).

• Conduct discovery and assessment of the existing TIBCO on‑premises infrastructure — including TIBCO Business Works, EMS, and/or Spotfire components.
• Collaborate with application and integration teams to map data flows, dependencies, and integration patterns.
• Identify cloud-native or managed alternatives for TIBCO components where relevant (e.g., Amazon MQ, MSK, Event Bridge).

• 10+ years of hands‑on experience architecting and managing AWS infrastructure in production environments.
• Strong Kubernetes expertise: 3+ years managing EKS or self‑managed clusters in production.
• Proficiency with infrastructure‑as‑code:
  Terraform (preferred) or Cloud Formation.
• Experience with Linux systems administration and shell scripting (Bash/Python).
• Solid understanding of networking (VPC, subnets, security groups, VPN, Direct Connect, Transit Gateway).
• Experience with container technologies (Docker, Helm, container registries).
• Ability to investigate and reverse‑engineer existing middleware architectures with minimal documentation.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work cross‑functionally with architecture, development, and business stakeholders.
• Familiarity with TIBCO products:
  Business Works, EMS (Enterprise Message Service), Spotfire, or TIBCO Cloud.
• Experience migrating or decommissioning on‑premises middleware to cloud‑native solutions.
• Knowledge of cloud‑native messaging/integration services:
  Amazon MQ, MSK (Kafka), SQS/SNS, Event Bridge.
• Experience with Git Ops tools (ArgoCD, Flux).
• Exposure to service mesh technologies (Istio, AWS App Mesh).
• AWS Certified Dev Ops Engineer or Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKAD).
