Job summary

AND Digital is seeking an AWS Cloud Architect for a 12 Month FTC in the Bristol area. The role focuses on governing configuration management and designing end-to-end testing strategies for a tightly-coupled migration in a colocation environment.

You will ensure state consistency and coordinate release controls to maintain stability. The candidate will need deep AWS expertise, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to navigate ambiguity while delivering value to clients and teams.

Responsibilities

• Drift Analysis: Compare the successfully migrated dev/non-prod environments against production to identify and fix configuration drift.
• Monolith Landing Readiness: Validate that the targeted colocation environment is fully staged, patched, and matched to on-prem production specifications for remaining tightly-coupled workloads
• Data Masking Compliance: Verify that financial non-production environments migrated to date strictly adhere to regulatory data anonymisation rules.
• Release Coordination: Enforce strict freeze windows and change management controls on the colocation environment to ensure total stability prior to the final cutover.
• Performance & Latency Testing: Design and execute stress tests on dev/test infrastructure to simulate the heavy traffic and latency constraints of the tightly-coupled monolithic group.
• Regression & Integration Strategy: Define the test cases required to prove that interconnected financial applications function flawlessly post-migration without breaking downstream systems.
• User Acceptance (UAT) Governance: Coordinate with business units to manage UAT sign-offs on the new colocation infrastructure, ensuring compliance audits are fully documented.
