Overview
As an AWS Solution Architect you will be working with our customers to define and architect the functional blocks of AWS to support their Cloud adoption journey and beyond. This is a key role working closely with the customer. You will elicit customer requirements for cloud adoption and Cloud-native architectures, understanding the current ecosystem and how the cloud migration will fit into this. The role will define patterns and services that are required for a successful migration to AWS, and ensure the migration is well architected. A key aspect of the role is to endorse, support and maintain reusable migration patterns built by the teams, utilising infrastructure as code so future deployments can be delivered through automation and code reuse.
It’s an exciting time to join our team to help shape our customer’s cloud adoption journey and contribute to the security of the UK.
