platform from mainframe-based applications to a cloud-based platform on AWS. As an Technical Architect with
a strong background in software engineering, you'll play a key role in driving this transformation by setting
among our workstreams, designing and implementing scalable, secure, and highly available cloud solutions
that leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles and DevOps practices. You'll work closely with our
software development teams to ensure that our cloud infrastructure is optimized for our applications, and that
our applications are designed to take full advantage of the cloud infrastructure, with development processes
aligned with cloud best practices.
You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, architects, and other stakeholders
to make key technical decisions, drive technical excellence, and ensure that our cloud infrastructure and
applications are highly performant, secure, and scalable. Your expertise will be crucial in shaping the future of
our cloud infrastructure and applications, and in driving the adoption of cloud technologies and practices
across our team.
If you're passionate about cloud computing, software development, and driving technical innovation with the
