Amazon's cloud consulting practice is expanding its solution architecture team. You will work directly with enterprise clients across financial services, manufacturing, and retail - helping them migrate, modernise, and optimise complex workloads on AWS.

As a Cloud Solutions Architect you will own end-to-end engagement delivery: pre-sales scoping, architecture design workshops, proof-of-concept builds, and post-go-live optimisation reviews. You produce Well-Architected Review reports, write CDK/Terraform reference implementations that client teams can adopt, and present architectural options to both technical leads and C-level stakeholders.

On the internal side, you will contribute to Amazon's solution accelerator library, peer-review junior architects' designs, and occasionally deliver workshops at AWS events. Travel to client sites across Europe is expected 2–3 times per quarter.

Core focus areas: multi-account landing zones, FinOps optimisation, security posture hardening (GuardDuty, Config, Security Hub), and cloud-native re-architecture of legacy monoliths.
