Remote AWS Solutions Architect - Enterprise Cloud

Bright Vision Technologies; Renton (WA); On-site; USD 100,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Bright Vision Technologies is seeking an experienced AWS Solutions Architect to design, build, and operate large-scale cloud platforms on AWS. This remote, full-time role emphasizes hands-on engineering across architecture, IaC, security, observability, and cost optimization.

You will partner with security and SRE teams to deliver scalable, cloud-native solutions and mentor junior engineers. The position requires deep AWS experience, strong scripting skills in Python and Bash, and a proven track

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of cloud engineering experience, with at least 3 years on AWS in production.
• Hands-on experience with EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudFront, and CloudFormation.
• Production-grade experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation.
• Solid experience designing and operating Amazon EKS or ECS clusters at scale.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines across infra and application workloads.
• Strong scripting in Python and Bash; Go or PowerShell a plus.
• Deep understanding of cloud security, IAM, encryption, key management, and compliance requirements.
• Experience implementing observability, monitoring, and alerting in cloud-native environments.
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, and documentation skills.

Responsibilities

• Architect, deploy, and operate enterprise-grade AWS environments across compute, networking, storage, identity, and managed data services, with strong attention to scalability, reliability, and security.
• Author and maintain production-quality infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK, with rigorous version control, peer review, and automated validation.
• Design multi-account AWS organizations, including landing zones, SCPs, centralized logging, and shared services, to support secure and scalable enterprise adoption.
• Build secure VPC topologies — including subnetting, route tables, transit gateways, VPN, and Direct Connect integrations — that meet enterprise connectivity and isolation requirements.
• Implement strong IAM strategies using roles, permission boundaries, SCPs, AWS SSO, and short-lived credentials to enforce least-privilege access across the organization.
• Design, deploy, and operate Amazon EKS clusters and other container platforms (ECS, Fargate), including auto-scaling, networking, and integration with service meshes and observability stacks.
• Operate AWS managed data and analytics services such as RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, S3, Redshift, Glue, and Kinesis, optimizing each for the access patterns and SLAs of the workloads it supports.
• Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI, enabling repeatable, audited deployments of both infrastructure and applications.
• Implement comprehensive observability using CloudWatch, X‑Ray, AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and third‑party tooling, with well‑designed dashboards, alerts, and SLOs.
• Drive ongoing cost optimization through right-sizing, savings plans, reserved instances, lifecycle policies, and architectural simplification, with measurable savings tracked over time.
• Implement disaster‑recovery and business‑continuity capabilities, including cross‑region replication, automated backups, regular failover testing, and documented runbooks.
• Strengthen security posture using AWS Security Hub, GuardDuty, Macie, Inspector, Config, and CloudTrail, and lead remediation of findings in collaboration with security teams.
• Advise application development teams on AWS‑native design patterns, anti‑patterns, and the appropriate service choices for each problem domain.
• Develop automation scripts and operational tooling in Python, Bash, and Go to streamline routine work and accelerate incident response.
• Mentor junior engineers, lead architecture and design reviews, and contribute thought leadership to the broader cloud community within the organization.
