Lead AWS Architect

Description:

We are hiring a Lead AWS Architect for a highly senior role focused on designing and guiding cloud architecture for AI applications, LLM systems, real-time voice solutions, and multi-tenant SaaS platforms.

This is not a standard DevOps role. We are specifically looking for someone who has independently led AWS architecture for production-grade systems and can make strong decisions around scalability, security, latency, reliability, and cost optimization.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead AWS architecture for AI, LLM, real-time voice, and multi-tenant SaaS products
• Design secure, scalable, and cost-efficient cloud infrastructure
• Define deployment architecture, environment strategy, observability, and reliability standards
• Work closely with AI engineers, backend developers, and product leadership
• Guide infrastructure decisions for low-latency and production-critical systems
• Mentor the team and provide architectural direction across projects

Must-Have Experience

• 7+ years of overall experience
• 5+ years of strong hands-on AWS architecture experience
• Proven experience with multi-tenant SaaS architecture
• Proven experience with AI / LLM-based applications
• Proven experience with real-time voice, streaming, telephony, or other low-latency systems
• Strong command of AWS services such as EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS/Aurora, Redis, IAM, VPC, and CloudWatch
• Strong experience with Terraform, CloudFormation, or other Infrastructure as Code tools
• Ability to independently lead architecture decisions, not just execute DevOps tasks
