Cloud Platform Architect

Our client, a company that builds cloud-based software products, is looking for a senior Cloud Platform Architect. You will own the architecture of its software platform, which runs on AWS. You will be the technical authority for it. The platform must stay scalable, secure, resilient and cost-efficient as the product grows.

You will set the target state and the roadmap. You will define architecture principles, reference patterns and engineering guardrails, and record key choices in decision records. You will keep the platform modular, with clear boundaries between product features, integrations, data and infrastructure.

You will govern how many customers share the platform. This covers isolation, identity, data separation and configuration. You will support shared and dedicated customer deployments on one codebase. You will set rules for APIs and event-driven design, including versioning and integration. You will also own security, availability, performance, observability and disaster recovery.

You will review major designs and check that teams follow the agreed guardrails. You will manage architecture risks and technical debt. You will work with product and engineering colleagues to turn product strategy into lasting platform capabilities. You will also help engineering teams build their architecture skills.

We are looking for someone with 12 to 18 years in software engineering and architecture, and a strong hands-on base. You have designed large SaaS platforms on AWS and know multi-tenancy well. You know serverless, networking, identity, messaging, infrastructure as code, CI/CD and DevSecOps. You are a builder-architect who makes pragmatic trade-offs.
