Principal AWS Enterprise Architect

Job Description

Our client is looking for a Principal AWS Enterprise Architect to design the AWS environment our application teams will build on top of. This is a foundation and platform role. Workload migration is owned by other teams. Your job is everything underneath the applications: how accounts are structured, how the network is laid out, how identity works, how we connect back to the data center, how we protect PII, how we host Databricks and VDI, and what guardrails and patterns the rest of the org consumes. This is a hands-on architect role. We expect diagrams, working IaC reference modules, written decisions, and time in the room with security, networking, data, and application leadership - not just recommendations. By the time you wrap, the in-house team should own and be able to extend what you leave behind. We need technical expertise combined with communication and leadership skills to be able to present data and information to the executive team. This role is fully remote.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to ~~~ learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy: ~~~/.
