Remote AWS Certified Architect
Description
Remote AWS Certified Architect
Reimagine Cloud Possibility From Anywhere
Can you architect cloud solutions that turn business hurdles into launchpads? This is your chance to create scalable, secure AWS ecosystems that spark transformation—wherever you are. Here, vision isn’t just welcomed; it’s expected. You’ll elevate teams, refine strategies, and leave a lasting mark that endures long after the project is handed off.
Why This Role Matters
Your architectural guidance will ripple through every product launch, migration, and customer experience. With every well-documented design pattern or migration plan, you’ll simplify complexity—bridging the gap between aspiration and technical reality. That means enabling faster go-to-market, airtight security, and cost-optimized environments. Each architecture you deliver will become the backbone of growth for teams across engineering, product, and operations.
Your Day-to-Day Impact
- Map out cloud roadmaps that adapt as fast as the market changes.
- Engage with stakeholders to translate shifting business needs into robust AWS solutions—think serverless, multi-account governance, or hybrid architectures.
- Your whiteboard sessions—whether on Miro, Zoom, or a quick Slack huddle—turn technical challenges into shared wins.
- Lead architecture reviews where your insights foster clarity and build consensus across design, engineering, and security.
- Shape onboarding and upskilling journeys so every team member feels confident navigating AWS’s evolving toolset.
- Harness the best of EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, and new AWS services as soon as they hit GA.
- Define reference architectures that serve as blueprints for efficiency and compliance across the organization.
- Collaborate with developers to create deployment pipelines that blend resilience, speed, and security.
- Keep a pulse on cloud spend—uncovering opportunities for optimization without sacrificing performance.
- Guide business leaders through technical trade-offs, ensuring each solution isn’t only possible but also sustainable.
What You’ll Bring
- You hold a current AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional or Associate) certification and can demonstrate your expertise through real-world experiences, not just certifications.
- Years spent architecting distributed systems, not only building them but making them futureproof.
- Experience migrating legacy apps to AWS—your roadmap balances risk, pace, and clear communication with every stakeholder.
- You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or in a design doc read by dozens.
- Deep familiarity with automation—Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK—so infrastructure moves at code speed.
- Security isn’t a checkbox. Your decisions are baked into IAM, VPC best practices, and encrypted data from day one.
- When a team needs guidance on cloud cost management, you don’t just recommend tools—you mentor them through sustainable practices.
- A knack for picking the exemplary AWS service, from S3 lifecycle policies to EKS orchestration, based on real needs, not trends.
- You thrive in environments where “remote” means “empowered,” leaning into async tools, detailed documentation, and clear feedback.
Tools, Tech, and Workflow
- Architect, review, and deploy using AWS-native services: EC2, Lambda, ECS, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, and more.
- Automate everything possible, leveraging IaC with Terraform or CloudFormation.
- Support seamless CI/CD via GitHub Actions, CodePipeline, or Jenkins.
- Drive cloud monitoring and incident response using CloudWatch, Datadog, or similar.
- Collaborate and communicate in Notion, Slack, and Miro—where design, engineering, and product intersect.
- Security is integrated into every solution, with guardrails, alerts, and regular reviews built in.
What Sets You Apart
- You treat every project like a partnership, not just a task.
- When it comes to migration, you know the difference between lift-and-shift and true modernization—and you can explain it to non-technical partners.
- Your passion for cloud technology is matched only by your desire to elevate those around you.
- Where others see complexity, you see a blueprint ready to be sketched out, debated, and delivered.
- You know how to balance deep focus work with fast-moving priorities—and help others do the same.
Growth & Rewards
- This fully remote opportunity offers an annual salary of $126,000, reflecting the impact and leadership you bring.
- Expect genuine trust and flexibility: work when and how you’re at your best.
- Access to the latest AWS learning resources, conference passes, and mentoring circles.
- Opportunities to lead, innovate, and shape cloud strategy for teams that count on your expertise.
The Environment You’ll Join
You’ll be part of a globally distributed team—where asynchronous work isn’t a compromise but an advantage. Expect high trust, open-minded collaboration, and a culture that welcomes new approaches to complex problems. Your feedback will shape processes, architecture, and future talent.
