As a Senior AWS Cloud Solutions Architect, you will be the technical lead on our most complex engagements, from assessment and mobilization to large-scale migration and modernization. You will report to an Engineering Manager based in Europe and lead distributed teams of US- and Budapest-based engineers. You will also work closely with colleagues in our AI/ML and Application Development practices.

What you’ll be doing:

• Lead the technical delivery of complex, high-impact migration and modernization engagements, including AWS Migration Acceleration Program (MAP) assessments and mobilization.

• Lead technical discovery and design multi-service, cloud-native AWS architectures that turn business goals into scalable blueprints.

• Technically lead teams of 1–4 engineers, and manage the technical roadmap of 2–3 engagements in parallel.

• Own technical design decisions within project scope. Resolve technical disagreements and handle scope conversations with clients professionally.

• Represent Client in customers sessions, including executive-level conversations and joint sessions with AWS stakeholders.

• Spend around 25% of your time on pre-sales: discovery, solution design and co-selling with AWS account teams in North America.

• Resolve high-risk technical blockers and escalations, including critical production incidents.

• Adapt to changing delivery expectations and keep engagements on track under uncertainty.

• Build architectural guardrails, reusable frameworks and components that raise quality across the practice.

• Coach engineers and share knowledge through internal sessions, workshops, whitepapers and technical evangelism.

• Be the go-to expert in one or more domains, such as MSSQL Server, PostgreSQL, EKS, VMware, data, security or networking.

• Help shape our technical offerings and accelerators in line with market and AWS trends.

What you bring:

• 8+ years in infrastructure or cloud engineering, including 5+ years designing and delivering on AWS.

• A proven track record of leading at least two large-scale cloud migrations end to end.

• Hands-on database migration experience with MSSQL Server, Oracle or PostgreSQL.

• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional.

• In-depth knowledge of core AWS services, including:

• Compute and containers: EC2, Lambda, ECS, EKS

• Storage and databases: S3, RDS, EFS, EBS

• Networking and integration: VPC, API Gateway, CloudFront, SNS, SQS

• Security: IAM, Security Hub, GuardDuty, KMS, AWS Private CA

• Operations and migration: CloudWatch, AWS Application Migration Service

• Strong Infrastructure as Code skills. Terraform is preferred; CloudFormation, AWS CDK or Ansible are also welcome.

• Hands-on experience building and running CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab, Bitbucket or similar.

• Experience running containerized workloads with Docker and Kubernetes or EKS.

• Strong networking knowledge: TCP/IP, DNS, load balancers, firewalls and VPN, plus AWS networking services such as VPC, Route 53, ELB and CloudFront.

• Strong security knowledge: IAM, least privilege, access control, endpoint security and data encryption.

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills. You are confident with executives and engineering teams alike.

• Comfort working in a distributed team, with a few hours of daily overlap with Central European Time.

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, IT or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Nice to have:

• Hands-on experience with AWS MAP phases: Assess, Mobilize, and Migrate & Modernize.

• Migrations from VMware, on-premises data centers, Azure or GCP.

• Experience with AI-assisted migration and modernization tooling, such as AWS Transform.

• AWS Specialty certifications, such as Security or Advanced Networking.
