What We're Looking For
We are looking for AWS Cloud Architects with extensive landing zone knowledge. For us, this means experience of designing and operating enterprise-scale landing zones within AWS. It also means you need an understanding of the key security risks that are present when operating workloads within AWS and how to design a best practice landing zone to mitigate these risks.
We are thought leaders, so our Architects need to be opinionated about IaC structure and modularisation, controls and guardrails, network patterns, and how to architect appropriate and scalable Cloud solutions with the ability to assess trade-offs with design options.
What You'll Be Doing
You will be working closely with our customers’ key stakeholders, designing and providing the technical governance over the delivery of significant workloads on the cloud.
You will be defining the infrastructure, network, and security design, along with the design of platform tooling services, and will set the technical standards that define what good looks like for all services, putting checks in place to ensure compliance.
