Principal Duties & Responsibilities
Overview
Lead AWS cloud architecture workstreams within large advisory and transformation programs, owning the design and delivery of architecture outcomes end-to-end. Act as the primary day-to-day architecture advisor to client VP and Director-level technology stakeholders — running architecture design sessions, facilitating trade-off decisions, and maintaining the architecture decision log. Own the detailed design of AWS multi-account environments including Landing Zone configurations, Control Tower guardrails, and AWS Organizations policies.
Lead the design of cloud security architecture for client engagements — developing Zero Trust network designs, IAM and access governance models, encryption frameworks, and policy-as-code implementations using AWS-native security services.
Lead FinOps workstreams — building financial governance frameworks, developing multi-year AWS cost models, designing chargeback and showback mechanisms, and identifying rightsizing and commitment optimisation opportunities using AWS Cost Explorer, Budgets, and Trusted Advisor.
Own the IaC and platform engineering architecture for client engagements — defining standards and patterns using CloudFormation, CDK, and Terraform, and designing the governance model that ensures consistent, auditable infrastructure delivery. Lead the design of observability architectures using CloudWatch, X-Ray, and third-party platforms such as Datadog and Dynatrace.
Contribute across adjacent areas — designing the cloud infrastructure that enables AI and agentic workloads using SageMaker, Bedrock, AgentCore, and Amazon Q; providing cloud architecture inputs to Tech Modernization engagements; applying resilience architecture patterns to Technology Resiliency workstreams; and advising on ecosystem decisions covering ISV/MSP selection and vendor commercial models.
Support business development through proposal contributions, cloud architecture solutioning, and client presentations. Identify and shape follow-on engagement opportunities. Contribute to reusable assets, reference architectures, and points of view that strengthen the practice's cloud architecture advisory capability.
