AWS Solutions Architect

Responsibilities

• Partner with the sales team on pre‑sales engagements, leading discovery sessions, shaping technical solutions, and producing architecture proposals and statements of work.
• Design and deliver AWS cloud solutions across migration, modernisation, networking, and security workstreams, ensuring architecture decisions are grounded in client requirements and best practice.
• Lead or contribute to cloud migration projects, including workload assessment, migration planning, tooling configuration (MGN, DMS), and cutover execution. Architect secure, well‑governed environments covering landing zones, IAM frameworks, network topology, and compliance controls, particularly for clients in regulated industries. Work with clients on container and modern application architectures, advising on EKS, ECS, and serverless patterns where appropriate. Produce clear, accurate technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, design decisions, runbooks, and handover materials that the client and delivery team can actually use. Act as a trusted technical advisor throughout the engagement lifecycle, managing client expectations and flagging risks early. Support more junior engineers and architects on the team, sharing knowledge and helping build collective capability. Stay current with the AWS platform and contribute to Presidio’s internal practice through reusable assets, lessons learned, and technical community participation.
