Job description

We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Lead AWS Cloud Architect to join the Cloud Centre of Excellence (CCoE) within Group Infrastructure and Operations (GIO) in Digital, Data and Technology Security (DDTS).

AWS Well-Architected Framework: Experience applying the AWS Well Architected Framework to design and assess cloud architectures.
AWS Compute Platforms: Strong experience designing and governing workloads using serverless and managed AWS compute services (such as Lambda, ECS and EC2). Experience with EKS is beneficial but not essential. Able to select the right service and ensure secure, scalable operations.
AWS Data Platforms: Broad knowledge and experience designing AWS data platforms and architectures, spanning data storage, databases, ingestion and streaming patterns, with a strong understanding of security, lineage, and access controls at scale.
AWS Security and Governance: Proficiency in IAM, KMS, GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS Config and related services to define and enforce guardrails, compliance, and security standards.
