AWS Cloud Architect / Technical Lead

We are looking for an experienced AWS Cloud Architect / Technical Lead to join an international team developing a business-critical cloud platform.

The platform integrates external systems and data sources with cloud-based applications and is currently entering an important phase of its development. With upcoming releases and architectural changes, the team is looking for someone who can bring strong AWS expertise, take ownership of the cloud architecture and drive technical and design discussions.

This is a hands-on architecture role. You will work closely with engineers, stay involved in implementation and deployments, and help the team make pragmatic technical decisions.

The key challenge is not simply delivering new functionality, but strengthening the architecture, organizing technical knowledge and building stronger cloud capabilities within the team.
