• Recommend and select cloud services/tools to design secure, scalable, and cost‑optimized solutions.
• Provide infrastructure cost estimates, sizing guidance, and effort assessments for proposals.

• Familiarity with SDLC practices: DevOps pipelines, infrastructure‑as‑code, testing, monitoring.
• Ability to model cloud costs, prepare TCO comparisons, and conduct trade‑off analysis (performance, cost, scalability).
• Excellent communication & presentation skills, capable of engaging both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification.
• Experience with multi‑account setups and AWS security best practices (Landing Zones, IAM boundaries, Guardrails).
• Background in regulated industries (finance, healthcare, government).
• Exposure to multi‑cloud architectures (Azure, GCP) and hybrid‑cloud designs.
