Minimum 12 year(s) of experience is required
Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education

Architectural Strategy & Design
Defines the target AWS cloud architecture, ensures
alignment with enterprise standards, platform
governance, and security policies.
Designs cloud-native architectures using AWS
services, modern application patterns
(microservices, event-driven design, serverless,
container platforms), and scalable multi-account
strategies.
Shapes architectural principles and reusable
patterns that guide Cloud Engineers and
development teams in building consistent, high
quality solutions.

Technical Leadership & Quality Assurance
Reviews and validates architectural and
Infrastructure-as-Code designs, ensuring they align
with standards and preferred tooling
(Terraform/Terragrunt, GitLab).
Provides architectural guidance, coaching, and
mentorship to Cloud Engineers, developers, and
platform teams.
Ensures cloud solutions are secure, cost-optimized,
resilient, and compliant, integrating early design
considerations into the project lifecycle.

Collaboration & Governance
Collaborates with other architects (Platform,
Enterprise, Security, Data) to define cloud standards,
guardrails, and shared capabilities.
Promotes platform-first and reuse-oriented thinking,
helping teams adopt shared services, governance
controls, and standardized patterns instead of siloed
solutions.
Facilitates communication across disciplines,
translating complex cloud topics into clear,
actionable guidance for both technical and business
stakeholders.

Integration, Observability & Continuous Improvement
Guides hybrid-cloud design, ensuring secure
connectivity and interoperability between AWS and
on-prem systems.
Supports consistent observability practices by
promoting the use of the preferred LGTM stack, while
maintaining awareness of adjacent monitoring
ecosystems.
Evaluates AWS innovations and emerging
technologies, recommending adoption only when
they add architectural or operational value and fit
the preferred technology direction.


Expert-level hands-on experience with AWS,
including compute, storage, networking, IAM,
integration services, container platforms (EKS/ECS),
and serverless solutions (Lambda).
Strong proficiency with Terraform and Terragrunt as
the main infrastructure-as-code foundation capable
of assessing other IaC approaches when necessary.
Experience with GitLab for structured version
control, CI/CD pipelines, and automated
infrastructure workflows, with working knowledge of
other CI/CD systems for context.
Experience with the LGTM stack as the preferred
observability solution, with awareness of alternative
logging/metrics/tracing solutions when
encountered.
Deep understanding of cloud architecture
principles, including multi-account design, security
boundaries, networking patterns, resilience,
scalability, and cost optimization.
Ability to visualize and document architectures,
create clear diagrams, and articulate architectural
decisions at multiple abstraction levels.
Strong communication skills to bridge architectural
frameworks with implementation work carried out by
Cloud Engineers and delivery teams.
Ability to operate across conceptual, strategic, and
hands-on layers to ensure architectural feasibility
and long-term consistency.
