Job description

Title: AWS Principal Architect

Location: Remote

Duration: Full-time

Job Description : Seeking an experienced AWS Principal Architect to design and lead shared cloud platforms—including multi-tenant Shared EKS, Shared API Gateway, and automation for user onboarding and workload lifecycle management. This role blends hands-on AWS engineering with architectural leadership, setting platform standards and solving complex issues across security, networking, and distributed systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architecture & Platform Design
  • Architect secure, scalable Shared EKS clusters with multi-tenancy, workload isolation, and governance.
  • Design and operate a Shared AWS API Gateway platform (auth, throttling, routing, version management).
  • Define reference architectures, golden paths, and platform guardrails.
  • Lead workload onboarding architecture reviews and technical solutioning.
  • User Onboarding & Troubleshooting
  • Automate onboarding: namespaces, IAM roles, RBAC, bootstrapping templates, and pipeline enablement.
  • Troubleshoot issues across IAM, VPC networking, Kubernetes resources, CI/CD, and integrations.
  • Maintain operational dashboards, diagnostics, and runbooks.
  • IaC, Automation & CI/CD
  • Build and maintain IaC with Terraform/CloudFormation for EKS, API Gateway, VPC, IAM, and supporting services.
  • Standardize CI/CD and GitOps workflows (GitLab/Jenkins/GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Helm).
  • Automate environment consistency and deployment reliability.
  • Security & Governance
  • Implement platform security: IRSA, pod security, network policies, encryption, runtime controls.
  • Enable secure API access using OAuth2, JWT, IAM auth, and enterprise identity providers.
  • Ensure compliance with corporate and regulatory controls.
  • Kubernetes & Platform Engineering
  • Operate and optimize EKS clusters: scaling, node groups, CNI, autoscaling, ingress/egress patterns.
  • Deploy platform components: service mesh, secrets management, ingress controllers, cluster add ons.
  • Apply SRE principles—SLOs, error budgets, resilience engineering.
  • Observability & Performance
  • Implement observability with CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, X-Ray, OpenTelemetry.
  • Lead performance tuning, capacity planning, and cost optimization.
  • Drive root-cause analysis across platform and application workloads.
  • Leadership
  • Mentor engineers, review designs and code, and raise engineering quality.
  • Influence platform strategy and technical roadmaps.
  • Collaborate with product and operations teams to align platform capabilities to business needs.

Qualifications

Required

  • 10+ years engineering experience; 5+ years deep AWS expertise.
  • Strong architecture expertise with EKS, API Gateway, VPC, IAM, EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS/Aurora.
  • Expertise in Kubernetes (EKS), Helm, Docker, Terraform/CloudFormation.
  • Proven CI/CD and GitOps experience.
  • Strong troubleshooting across AWS, networking, Kubernetes, and pipelines.
  • Demonstrated leadership through standards, reviews, and team mentorship.

Preferred

  • AWS Solutions Architect Professional.
  • CKA or equivalent Kubernetes certification.
  • Experience with Argo CD, service mesh, secrets management.
