Summary:
As an AWS-focused Cloud Architect, you define and guide
the cloud architecture landscape at Kuehne + Nagel. You
design secure, scalable, cost-efficient cloud architectures
and provide technical leadership across teams. You shape
standards, drive cloud-native design principles, and ensure
the consistent use of preferred technologies such as
Terraform/Terragrunt, GitLab, and LGTM. Your work enables
Cloud Engineers and development teams to deliver robust,
maintainable, and compliant AWS solutions.

Roles & Responsibilities:
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.

Professional & Technical Skills:
-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.
