• AWS Solutions Architect – Professional or equivalent certification strongly preferred.
• Knowledge of Delta‑approved AWS architecture patterns, including standardized VPC patterns, Delta Cloud Landing Zone (CLZ) aligned network and security topologies, serverless and container reference architectures, and approved data platform integration patterns (e.g., S3, Lambda, Glue, Redshift, API Gateway).
• Enterprise IAM and cross‑account access patterns.
