Job description

SimplifyNext is one of ASEAN’s most innovative Automation and AI consultancies, empowering organisations to scale automation, integrate Generative and Agentic AI, and deliver next-generation digital platforms. Our team blends strategy, technology, and design to transform how businesses work.

Our portfolio spans ASEAN and global clients across multiple industries, where we’ve successfully driven large-scale automation programmes, next-gen application modernisation, and enterprise AI initiatives. Recognized as one of Singapore’s 100 Fastest Growing Companies 2024 (Straits Times & Statista) and High-Growth Companies Asia-Pacific 2024 (Financial Times & Statista), we are proud of our track record in building transformation journeys that last.

We partner with leading platforms and ecosystems including ServiceNow, UiPath, OutSystems, Salesforce, Microsoft, AWS, and more — and continue to invest in Centres of Excellence, enablement programs, and Citizen Developer initiatives to accelerate innovation and deliver high-impact digital experiences.

The Role

As an AWS Architect (Hands-on & Pre-Sales), you will own solution architecture across the full lifecycle — from pre-sales and solutioning, to hands‑on design, build guidance, and production rollout.

You will partner closely with sales, consulting, and delivery teams to translate business problems into secure, scalable AWS architectures, while staying close enough to the technology to ensure solutions are practical and buildable.

WhatYou’llDo

• Engage clients during discovery to understand business, technical, and operational requirements
• Design AWS solution architectures for proposals, RFPs, and client presentations
• Articulate architecture options, trade‑offs, and cost considerations to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
• Support effort estimation, sizing, and high‑level delivery approaches
• Collaborate with sales and consulting teams to shape compelling, technically sound solutions
• Design end‑to‑end AWS architectures covering compute, storage, networking, security, and data
• Define reference architectures, patterns, and standards for delivery teams
• Remain hands‑on where needed — reviewing IaC, cloud configurations, and application designs
• Guide developers and DevOps engineers on architecture, security, and scalability decisions
• Ensure solutions meet non‑functional requirements (performance, availability, resilience, cost)
• Support cloud migrations, modernisation, and optimisation initiatives

WhatWe’reLooking For

• 6+ years of overall IT experience, with strong hands‑on AWS architecture background
• Proven experience designing and delivering production AWS solutions
• Strong knowledge of AWS services (EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, Lambda, ECS/EKS, etc.)
• Hands‑on experience with Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent)
• Solid understanding of cloud security, networking, and governance
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices
• Comfortable engaging clients, running architecture discussions, and presenting solutions
• Ability to balance technical depth with business context
• AWS Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional) certification is strongly preferred
• Degree or Diploma in Computer Science, Engineering, or related disciplines

Why Join Us

• Architect and deliver real‑world, enterprise‑grade AWS solutions
• Play a visible role in both pre‑sales and delivery success
• Work closely with senior consultants, sales leaders, and engineering teams
• Strong support for certifications, learning, and technical growth
• Opportunity to grow into Principal Architect, Cloud Practice Lead, or Solution Director roles

At SimplifyNext, we’re committed to building a team of curious, driven, and forward‑thinking individuals who care deeply about creating meaningful impact through technology.

If you’re excited by the opportunity to grow, collaborate, and shape the future of digital transformation across the region, we’d be happy to hear from you.
