What to Expect

The Sr. Cloud Architect designs, builds, and governs scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This role partners with engineering, security, and product teams to define target architectures, enable cloud-native delivery, and ensure platforms meet availability, performance, compliance, and operational excellence standards.

What You Will Do

1. Architecture & Solution Design

· Lead end-to-end cloud architecture for new and existing workloads, including reference architectures, patterns, and technical standards.

· Architect highly available and resilient systems using services such as ELB/ALB/NLB, Auto Scaling, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, S3, and CloudFront.

· Collaborate with stakeholders to translate requirements into solution designs, estimates, risks, and implementation roadmaps.

· Provide technical leadership through design reviews, mentoring, and hands-on guidance.

· Perform cost optimization and capacity planning (FinOps): tagging, budgets, Reserved Instances/Savings Plans, right-sizing, and cost allocation reporting.

· Plan and execute migrations and modernization (re-host, re-platform, re-factor) and data transfer approaches using AWS migration tooling.

· Define disaster recovery architectures including workload tiering, RTO/RPO alignment, and cross-region failover patterns.

2. Platform Foundation, Networking & Governance

· Design secure landing zones and multi-account strategies using AWS Organizations, SCPs, IAM, networking, logging, and guardrails.

· Define network and connectivity designs (VPC design, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect/VPN, private connectivity, DNS) aligned to performance and security needs.

· Establish infrastructure-as-code and configuration standards using Terraform and/or AWS CloudFormation; promote reusable modules and CI/CD automation.

3. Project / Performance Management:

· Lead development, implementation, and management of project-based strategies to achieve HCA’s Digital Division goals.

· Compile and facilitate executive reporting and visibility on department and division initiatives and KPIs to ensure progress and alignment.

4. Security, Risk & Compliance

· Implement security best practices: least privilege IAM, KMS encryption, secrets management, WAF/Shield, vulnerability management, and security monitoring (e.g., GuardDuty, Security Hub).

· Own cloud governance and compliance alignment (e.g., ISO, SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA as applicable), including evidence collection and control mapping.

5. Technical Standards

· Partner with Platform Engineering, DevSecOps, and Architecture Review Board (ARB) teams to ensure architectural standards are implemented through reusable patterns, automation frameworks, and governed exception processes

· Establish and maintain cloud architecture standards, patterns, and reference architectures, aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework, enterprise architecture principles, and financial services best practices.

6. Documentation

· Produce and maintain clear cloud architecture documentation, including solution designs, reference architectures, migration runbooks, implementation plans, and operational handoff artifacts; participate in Architecture Review Boards (ARB) and technical governance forums.

· Lead architecture reviews and document design risks, exceptions, and approved deviations through ARB governance.
