About the Role The Principal AWS Cloud Architect is a lead-level technical role on our cloud engagements.

Hands-On Delivery - Work independently as the sole architect on smaller or early-phase engagements, owning design and build without a supporting team. - Step in hands-on when the project needs it to: - build foundational environments - execute migration waves - troubleshoot replication and cutover issues - write Terraform/CDK - Lead remediation personally when a workstream needs stabilization. Team Leadership & Offshore Coordination - Lead and coordinate offshore engineering teams across time zones: assign and sequence work, set clear acceptance criteria, and run effective handoffs so progress c…
