• Evaluate and recommend AWS services, tools, and frameworks to optimize performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
• Develop high-quality architectural deliverables, including solution designs, technical documentation, and reusable reference architectures.

• Design and implement infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solutions using AWS CloudFormation, Terraform, or AWS CDK.
• Enable DevOps and CI/CD best practices to improve delivery speed, consistency, and operational excellence.
• Conduct architecture reviews, security assessments, and performance optimization initiatives for existing AWS environments.

• Deep architectural expertise across AWS service domains including compute, storage, networking, IAM, security, observability, containers, and serverless, with the ability to make sound design tradeoffs.
• Practical experience designing and delivering containerized (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS) and serverless solutions in real-world, production environments.
• Strong understanding of AWS security and networking best practices, including experience designing solutions in regulated or compliance driven environments (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001).
• Excellent written and verbal skills, with the ability to produce clear architecture diagrams, technical documentation, and communicate complex topics to non-technical stakeholders.
