  • Discovery and dependency mapping

  • Authoring HLDs and LLDs

• Consultancy / professional services background is essential with experience:

  • Designing solutions directly for customers

  • Working within Statements of Work and commercial constraints

  • Leading through influence rather than hierarchy

Desirable experience and qualifications

• Handson experience with vSphere VMC and hybrid estates.

• AWS WellArchitected Framework accreditation and practical experience running WellArchitected reviews and design workshops in customer environments.

• Strong experience designing and integrating Disaster Recovery architectures on AWS (for example AWS DRS multiAZ and multiregion patterns) aligned to migration and production cutover strategies.

• Practical experience designing secure AWS Landing Zones including IAM networking logging monitoring and guardrails rather than consuming prebuilt templates only.

• Solid understanding of AWS security and operating models including identity access audit resilience and service transition into BAU.

• Experience supporting or working within AWS migration funding or incentive programmes where architecture and delivery decisions impact eligibility or reporting.
