Senior AWS Cloud Systems Architect
Position Overview
IgniteAction is seeking a senior AWS-certified Systems Architect to lead the design and governance of complex, multi-team modernization initiatives involving legacy application refactoring, cloud-native transformation, and system-of-systems integration.
This is not a traditional infrastructure architect role. The position requires architectural leadership across interconnected applications, data pipelines, integration layers, and shared services. The Architect will guide legacy-to-cloud transformations, apply structured migration sequencing (7 Rs framework), and embed DevSecOps and automated validation into the architecture from inception.
The Architect serves as the technical authority responsible for defining scalable, secure, and compliant target-state architectures across multiple delivery teams.
Key Responsibilities:
1. System-of-Systems Architecture Leadership
- Lead end-to-end architecture across interdependent systems and workflows.
- Define target-state architectures across presentation, application, data, and integration layers.
- Ensure integration consistency across upstream and downstream systems in data-intensive environments.
- Produce and maintain architecture artifacts including:
- Logical, physical, data, and deployment views
- Interface Control Documents (ICDs)
- Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
