Cloud Architect(AWS)

Position : AWS Architect

Location : Denver,CO

Duration : 12+Months Contract on C2C

About the Role : We’re looking for an AWS Cloud Architect who thrives on design and collaboration. This role is less about day-to-day administration and more about shaping the blueprint of our cloud landscape. You’ll be responsible for designing secure, scalable, and resilient solutions in Amazon Web Services (AWS), creating high-quality documentation, and partnering closely with our DevSecOps team to ensure seamless delivery and governance.

What You’ll Do Lead the design of cloud architectures across AWS’s core services, with a focus on scalability, resilience, and compliance.

Translate complex business and security requirements into clear, actionable cloud designs.

Develop and maintain detailed architecture diagrams, standards, and technical documentation that guide engineers and stakeholders.

Collaborate with DevSecOps engineers to embed security, compliance, and automation into every stage of the solution lifecycle.

Provide architectural oversight on cloud deployments, ensuring designs are implemented correctly and consistently.

Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership and project teams, advocating for cloud best practices and cost optimization strategies.

What We’re Looking For Deep expertise across Amazon Web Services (AWS) core services : VPC / Networking, EC2 / Compute, S3 / Storage, IAM / Identity, RDS / Databases, CloudWatch / Monitoring, and Security (Security Hub, GuardDuty).

Strong background with AWS serverless and integration services : Lambda, API Gateway, and ECS / Fargate, with an ability to integrate them into broader solution designs.

Proven experience working with DevSecOps or platform engineering teams, especially around CI / CD, infrastructure as code, and security automation.

Solid understanding of cloud governance frameworks (e.g., AWS Organizations, Service Control Policies, IAM / RBAC, cost controls).

Hands-on knowledge of AWS-native or open-source tools : CloudFormation or the AWS CDK, Terraform, AWS CodePipeline or GitHub Actions, and monitoring solutions.

Excellent written communication skills; able to produce diagrams, decision trees, and design docs that teams can rely on.

A mindset oriented towards collaboration, mentorship, and cross-functional influence.
