Cloud Platform Architect AWS

Key Responsibilities

• Own the product infrastructure and platform roadmap, selecting AWS‑native and public cloud technologies to ensure scalability, cost efficiency, and agility


• Define technical specifications for AWS‑based, cloud‑native systems, with a strong focus on security, performance, reliability, observability, and cost optimization


• Drive Infrastructure as Code and GitOps adoption using tools such as Terraform / OpenTofu, Pulumi, Helm, ArgoCD / Flux, and Ansible


• Act as a technical leader and mentor, enabling close collaboration between platform, DevOps, and product engineering teams across AWS environments


• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal and external platform operations and SRE teams on AWS and public cloud topics


• Create and maintain high‑quality platform documentation, including ADRs, architecture blueprints, runbooks, standards, and guardrails


• Proactively identify and mitigate public cloud risks related to security, resilience, compliance, operations, and cost

Required Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field


• 10+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or architecture roles, with 5+ years focused on production‑scale Kubernetes and public cloud platforms (ideally AWS)


• Deep expertise in Kubernetes, including architecture, operators, CNI / service mesh, multi‑cluster federation, and upgrades at scale


• Strong hands‑on experience with AWS as the primary platform, and exposure to other major public cloud providers (such as Azure), including multi‑account and multi‑region architectures


• Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred), GitOps, containerization (Docker), CI/CD tooling, and observability (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK / OpenTelemetry)


• Solid understanding of databases (relational, NoSQL, distributed), networking (VPC, SDN, load balancing, firewalls), and security best practices (RBAC, secrets management, encryption, vulnerability scanning)


• Proven track record defining non‑functional requirements and delivering high‑availability, performant, and secure systems on public cloud platforms
