Cloud Architect - Software Development
Innovative Solutions Inc
Job Description
Job Description
As an Software Development Architect, you’ll design and lead development of cloud-native applications on AWS — from microservices and serverless APIs to large-scale modernization initiatives. One engagement you may be architecting containerized backend systems with ECS and Kubernetes, the next you’re leading a legacy application transformation using Lambda, EventBridge, and modern CI/CD pipelines. You’ll work directly with clients to guide technical strategy, mentor engineering teams, and deliver scalable applications across a variety of industries and use cases.
What You’ll Do
- Design scalable, secure, and maintainable cloud-native applications that meet client requirements
- Create and maintain application architecture documentation and design patterns
- Develop standardized frameworks and templates for application development projects
- Lead technical discovery workshops and architecture review sessions with clients
- Provide hands-on development leadership for complex application development projects
- Conduct code reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards and best practices
- Serve as the primary technical consultant for application development engagements
- Conduct application assessments and provide modernization roadmaps
- Present technical solutions and recommendations to client stakeholders
- Collaborate with sales and solutions teams on scoping application development projects
- Mentor junior and mid-level developers on modern application development practices
- Contribute to internal knowledge base and development standards documentation
- Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and meet quality standards
- Collaborate with project managers to provide accurate effort estimates and technical guidance
- Participate in project retrospectives and contribute to process improvement initiatives
- Maintain billable utilization targets while delivering high-quality technical solutions
Required Skills
- Minimum of 7+ years of experience in application development, with at least 4 years in senior or lead architect roles
- AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification or ability to obtain within 6 months
- Demonstrated expertise in backend development using modern languages such as Python, Java, Node.js, or Go
- Strong experience with cloud-native application patterns including microservices, serverless, and container-based architectures
- Hands-on experience with AWS application services including Lambda, ECS/EKS, API Gateway, EventBridge, and Step Functions
- Proficiency with modern application frameworks and libraries (Spring Boot, Django, Express.js, FastAPI, etc.)
- Experience with database design and optimization for both relational and NoSQL databases in cloud environments
- Strong understanding of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and Infrastructure as Code
- Experience leading application modernization projects from legacy systems to cloud-native architectures
- Demonstrated ability to mentor junior developers and provide technical guidance
Preferred
- Passion for modern application development and cloud-native architectures
- Strong technical leadership skills with the ability to guide architectural decisions and mentor development teams
- Deep understanding of backend development frameworks, microservices architectures, and API design patterns
- Experience with containerization, orchestration, and cloud-native development patterns
- Strong customer relationship management skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts to business stakeholders
- Proactive approach to identifying technical debt and modernization opportunities
- Ability to balance hands-on development with architectural oversight and mentoring
- Experience working in agile development environments with CI/CD practices
- Natural proclivity for staying current with emerging application development technologies and best practices
- AWS Developer Professional certification
- Full-stack development experience including front-end frameworks (React, Angular, Vue.js), event-driven architectures, and messaging systems (SQS, SNS, Kafka)
- Operational expertise with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation), monitoring/observability tools (CloudWatch, X-Ray, Prometheus, Grafana), and performance optimization strategies
- Knowledge of security best practices, secure coding, and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI) for application development
- Background in Agile/Scrum methodologies and previous consulting or professional services experience
The salary range provided is a general guideline.
