Database Administrator

Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education

Summary: As an AWS-focused Cloud Architect, you define and guide

Cloud Engineers and development teams to deliver robust, maintainable, and compliant AWS solutions.

Architectural Strategy & Design:

• Defines the target AWS cloud architecture, ensures alignment with enterprise standards, platform governance, and security policies.
• Designs cloud-native architectures using AWS services, modern application patterns (microservices, event-driven design, serverless, container platforms), and scalable multi-account strategies.
• Shapes architectural principles and reusable patterns that guide Cloud Engineers and development teams in building consistent, highquality solutions.

Technical Leadership & Quality Assurance:

• Reviews and validates architectural and Infrastructure-as-Code designs, ensuring they align with standards and preferred tooling (Terraform/Terragrunt, GitLab).
• Provides architectural guidance, coaching, and mentorship to Cloud Engineers, developers, and platform teams.
• Ensures cloud solutions are secure, cost-optimized, resilient, and compliant, integrating early design considerations into the project lifecycle.

Collaboration & Governance :

• Collaborates with other architects (Platform, Enterprise, Security, Data) to define cloud standards, guardrails, and shared capabilities.
• Promotes platform-first and reuse-oriented thinking, helping teams adopt shared services, governance controls, and standardized patterns instead of siloed

• Facilitates communication across disciplines, translating complex cloud topics into clear, actionable guidance for both technical and business stakeholders.

Integration, Observability & Continuous Improvement :

• Guides hybrid-cloud design, ensuring secure connectivity and interoperability between AWS and on-prem systems.
• Supports consistent observability practices by promoting the use of the preferred LGTM stack, while maintaining awareness of adjacent monitoring ecosystems.
• Evaluates AWS innovations and emerging technologies, recommending adoption only when they add architectural or operational value and fit the preferred technology direction.

Professional & Technical Skills:

• Strong proficiency with Terraform and Terragrunt as the main infrastructure-as-code foundation capable of assessing other IaC approaches when necessary.
• Experience with GitLab for structured version control, CI/CD pipelines, and automated infrastructure workflows, with working knowledge of other CI/CD systems for context.
• Experience with the LGTM stack as the preferred observability solution, with awareness of alternative logging/metrics/tracing solutions when encountered.
• Deep understanding of cloud architecture principles, including multi-account design, security boundaries, networking patterns, resilience, scalability, and cost optimization.
• Ability to visualize and document architectures, create clear diagrams, and articulate architectural decisions at multiple abstraction levels.
• Strong communication skills to bridge architectural frameworks with implementation work carried out by Cloud Engineers and delivery teams.
• Ability to operate across conceptual, strategic, and hands-on layers to ensure architectural feasibility and long-term consistency.

• The candidate should have minimum 12 years of experience in AWS Architecture.
• This position is based at our Chennai office.
• A 15 years full time education is required.
