About the Position

We are looking for an AWS Solution Architect with deep expertise in AWS and strong hands-on technical capabilities to lead the design and delivery of secure, scalable, and high-performing systems. In this role, you will define AWS-first architecture, provide technical leadership to development teams, and ensure that solutions align with both business objectives and modern technology standards.

Responsibilities

Lead the design of modern, cloud-native, and serverless architectures aligned with the client’s long-term technology vision.
Drive the rewrite and modernization of selected legacy.NET modules into Node.js/React services.
Ensure solutions follow defined architectural guidelines and comply with the overarching technical strategy.
Participate in early-stage discovery and translate complex business needs into clear technical strategies.
Build architectural documentation.
Leverage PostgreSQL capabilities to increase performance and reduce unnecessary service complexity.
Support the transition to a new architecture while maintaining operational continuity.
Provide technical guidance to engineers and tech leads across backend & frontend domains.
Support the adoption of AWS AI/ML services within the product ecosystem.
Conduct PoCs to validate technical approaches, AI integrations, and cloud-native design patterns.
Collaborate with frontend teams designing SSR-based solutions using React + Next.js.
Ensure scalability, security, observability, and maintainability across all system components.
Work closely with Product, Business, DevOps, and engineering teams to support decision-making and solution delivery.
Engage regularly with stakeholders to communicate architecture choices, risks, and trade-offs.
Support estimation, scoping, and decomposition of new features and rewrite initiatives.

Requirements

10+ years of experience in software engineering, including Solution Architecture or Senior AWS Developer roles.
Strong experience designing large-scale distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven workflows.
Proven expertise building cloud-native and serverless architectures, ideally on AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, IAM, EventBridge, SQS).
Hands-on development experience with Node.js, preferably in serverless-first environments.
Understanding of modern front-end ecosystems, especially React/TypeScript.
Solid grasp of architectural patterns, API design (OAuth2, OpenID Connect), security best practices, and cloud governance.
Experience with PostgreSQL, stored procedures, JSON-based schemas, and data modeling for modern cloud systems.
Proficiency with DevOps workflows and IaC (Terraform/CDK), CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and orchestration (ECS preferred over EKS).
High emotional intelligence, adaptability, and ability to operate in a consulting / advisory model.
Stack-agnostic mindset and ability to work with evolving technologies and adapt architecture decisions as the stack changes over time.
Ability to challenge assumptions, validate architectures, and justify solution decisions with clarity and evidence.

Nice to Have

Experience modernizing systems into cloud-native architectures.
Knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF or similar).
Experience working with hybrid environments (.NET + modern cloud/serverless).
Experience with AI/ML integration and AWS AI services (e.g., Bedrock, Amazon Q).
