AWS Solutions Architect (Principal Engineer)

About the Position

We’re looking for an AWS Solutions Architect (Principal Engineer) to join our team and help us grow at an even greater speed!

Responsibilities

• Architect complex AWS solutions using best practices, anticipating future use cases and minimizing the cost of change.
• Lead client engagements end-to-end - shape the approach, scope work, estimate effort, and drive technical outcomes.
• Design and build infrastructure as code using Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation - and set the standard for how the team does it.
• Own CI/CD strategy and implementation - from pipeline design to deployment automation across varied client environments.
• Run Well-Architected Framework Reviews with startups - analyze their infrastructure, produce remediation plans, and guide execution.
• Own and evolve Cloudvisor’s monitoring solution - onboard new customers, tune for their needs, and build custom variants when required.
• Support pre-sales - engage directly with prospective customers, present architectures, and shape SOWs alongside the sales team.
• Diagnose cross-service issues that others can’t, and turn fixes into systemic improvements.
• Support AWS funding and program applications (MAP, POC funding, etc.), coordinating with AWS representatives.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in cloud, software, or infrastructure engineering - with substantial AWS depth.
• At least one AWS Professional-level certification (Solutions Architect Professional or DevOps Engineer Professional). A second Pro cert is a plus and expected over time.
• Deep hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code - Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation.
• Production experience with CI/CD - you've designed pipelines from scratch for varied environments, not just maintained existing ones.
• Hands-on containerization experience - Docker, ECS, EKS.
• Experience across multi-account AWS environments - Control Tower, Organizations, Landing Zones.
• Pre-sales or client-facing architecture experience - you can present a solution to a founder or CTO and defend the trade-offs.
• A track record of mentoring engineers and raising the bar of teams you've been part of.
• Excellent written and spoken English - our working language, and the language of our clients.

Nice to Have

• Experience at an AWS Partner, MSP, or cloud consultancy.
• FinOps or cost optimization expertise - you know your way around the AWS Pricing Calculator and have real scar tissue from reducing bills.
• Experience running Well-Architected Framework Reviews.
• Security specialization (IAM at scale, SCPs, Security Hub, threat modeling).
• Startup environment experience - you know how fast-scaling teams actually operate.

We Offer

• Competitive fixed compensation package 6000–7000 EUR/month (depending on experience).
• A strong engineering culture, continuous growth & learning environment.
• An awesome international team to work with, featuring 0 (zero) micro-management.
• Growth environment: share your experience and level up your expertise with a community of skilled professionals in our Technical Sessions.
• Remote work (Cloudvisor is a fully remote company) - we honestly don't care about where and how you do your work if you manage to deliver!
• A cool product to work with - AWS is the No. 1 public cloud in the world!
• The freedom to test ideas, learn from successes (and failures), and grow alongside the company.
• Work-life balance: 20 working days of paid vacation leave per year + your location’s public holidays.
• Allowances for your workspace and well-being, and more.
• Well-being allowance - we truly believe in a healthy work-life balance. You can use it for anything related to your hobbies, health, and well-being.
