AWS Technical Lead / Architect

The Role We are looking for a hands-on AWS Technical Lead to act as the architectural anchor. You will not just be coding; you will be the "Technical North Star". You will oversee solution design, enforce best practices, and guide the implementation of complex systems ranging from Infrastructure Setups to AI-powered solutions & Enterprise Data Warehouses. Responsibilities: • Provide expert technical guidance across multiple projects. • Own the end-to-end cloud architecture . You will decide when to use Lambda vs. Fargate, how to optimize Redshift/Glue, and where to implement security boundaries. • While you don't need to be a Data Scientist, you must be comfortable architecting applications that consume AI services (e.g., AWS Bedrock, LLMs, RAG pipelines, and Vector Databases). • Conduct code reviews, set standards for Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation), and mentor developers to ensure production-grade delivery. • Translate complex technical concepts into business value for our clients, helping them understand trade-offs and risks. • You will be the internal client qualifying the deliverables before it goes to deployment Must-Have Qualifications: • Proven track record (5+ years) architecting and deploying solutions on AWS. You should be fluent in Serverless (Lambda, API Gateway), Data Services (S3, Glue, Redshift), and Security (IAM, VPC). • Experience leading agile teams, estimating effort, and making architectural trade-offs. • Practical experience or strong conceptual knowledge of integrating Machine Learning into web applications (e.g., using LLMs, APIs, or pre-trained models). • Strong background in backend engineering (Node.js, Python, or similar). • Excellent ability to document technical designs (TDDs) and communicate risks to non-technical stakeholders. • AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Professional) or similar. Nice-to-Have (Bonus Points): • Prior experience in Biotech, Life Sciences , or Healthcare . (Familiarity with GxP compliance or genomic data is a huge plus). • Experience designing Data Lakes or Analytics pipelines (QuickSight, Power BI migrations). Perks: • 100% Remote : Work from the comfort of your home or city of your choice. • Cutting-Edge Projects : Work on the latest tech stack (GenAI, RAG, Serverless) rather than maintaining legacy monoliths. • Impact : Your architectural decisions will directly shape the success of our clients' products.
