Technical Architect

Overview
We are seeking a seasoned AWS Technical Architect to design, implement, and optimize our cloud infrastructure on AWS. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with AWS services, infrastructure automation using Terraform, and in-depth knowledge of networking, compute, storage, database, monitoring, and alerting solutions. This role is critical to ensuring our cloud infrastructure is secure, scalable, and efficient.

Preferred Skills
Experience with GCC and IM8 policies is essential. Additionally, proficiency with advanced AWS tools and frameworks like Kinesis, Chime, OpenSearch, and Generative AI (GenAI) using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is highly valued.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Cloud Architecture and Design:

• Design and implement highly available, resilient, and scalable architectures on AWS, covering networking, compute, storage, and database solutions.
• Architect solutions leveraging AWS best practices for security, cost optimization, and performance.

2. Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

• Develop, maintain, and manage Terraform configurations for automated provisioning and management of AWS resources.
• Implement best practices in version control, modularization, and reuse to ensure IaC maintainability and scalability.

3. Networking and Security:

• Design secure VPC architectures, subnets, routing, VPNs, and peering connections for multi-region and hybrid environments.
• Manage security groups, network ACLs, and identity access management (IAM) to ensure a secure AWS environment.

4. Compute, Storage, and Database Solutions:

• Leverage AWS services like EC2, ECS Fargate, and Lambda for compute workloads, based on application needs.
• Design scalable storage solutions using S3, EBS, and EFS.
• Architect and optimize database solutions with RDS, DynamoDB, and Aurora.

5. Monitoring, Logging, and Alerting:

• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions using CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) to ensure observability and troubleshooting capabilities.
• Set up proactive alerts and monitoring for performance and security issues to minimize downtime and optimize performance.
