[Hiring] AWS Cloud Architect @RELQ Technologies

Role Description

We are seeking a high-caliber AWS Cloud Architect to spearhead our Modernization Acceleration Program (MAP). This is not a traditional "Lift & Shift" role; you will be the technical visionary responsible for transforming legacy on-premises workloads into high-performance, cloud-native architectures. You will lead the shift from monolithic systems to microservices, utilizing a code-first approach with AWS CDK and TypeScript.

Core Responsibilities

• Strategic Modernization & Architecture
  • Architect cloud-native target states that replace legacy patterns with scalable, resilient, and cost-optimized solutions.
  • Execute modernization pathways within the AWS MAP framework, driving the transition from .NET/SQL Server to modern stacks like PostgreSQL (Aurora) and ECS with Fargate.
  • Serve as the technical authority for Modernization Readiness Assessments and Experience-Based Acceleration (EBA) sessions.
• Infrastructure as Code (CDK & TypeScript)
  • Standardize all infrastructure deployment exclusively via AWS CDK (TypeScript), moving away from manual configurations and CloudFormation.
  • Design and govern reusable CDK constructs to ensure organizational standards for security, networking, and observability are baked into every deployment.
  • Implement enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines with automated security and performance gates.
• Vendor & Program Leadership
  • Collaborate closely with our preferred vendor to provide technical oversight, ensuring their delivery matches our architectural rigour and modernization roadmap.
  • Mentor internal engineering teams on modern cloud patterns.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in IT Infrastructure with 4+ years focused on large-scale AWS Modernization.
• Expert-level proficiency in AWS CDK (TypeScript).
• Deep knowledge of AWS MAP and Modernization Pathways.
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional (Required).

Requirements

• Outcome-Driven: Focuses on business value and application agility, not just technical migration.
• Strategic Communicator: Capable of aligning vendor output with internal stakeholder expectations.
• Code-First Mindset: Strong advocate for software engineering best practices applied to infrastructure.
