Senior Well-Architected Framework Architect
AWS Well-Architected — Observability & Reliability
Location : Remote (NY,USA)
Job Type: Full Time
Role Summary
We are seeking a Senior Well-Architected Framework Architect to assess, design, and deploy AWS solutions that meet defined non-functional requirements (NFRs) across our customer environments. Anchored in the AWS Well-Architected Framework, this role focuses specifically on the Observability and Reliability pillars—translating assessment findings into concrete, production-ready solutions and deploying them directly into customer environments. The ideal candidate is both a deep technical expert and a hands-on builder who can move from architecture and design through to implementation.
Key Responsibilities
Observability
• Design and implement end-to-end observability solutions using AWS CloudWatch, Dynatrace, Splunk, and Grafana.
• Capture, manipulate, aggregate, and report on metrics across distributed applications and AWS services.
• Build and maintain dashboards that surface actionable insight into system health, performance, and NFR compliance.
• Develop observability solutions and deploy them into the customer environment, ensuring they are operable and maintainable by customer teams.
• Define alerting, thresholds, and reporting standards that align with business and operational requirements.
Reliability
• Serve as the subject-matter expert on High Availability, resiliency, and fail-over for AWS services in multi-zonal (multi-AZ) and multi-region configurations.
• Define AWS solutions that satisfy the specified NFRs against which applications have been assessed.
• Architect and implement resilient designs incorporating redundancy, automated recovery, disaster recovery (DR), and graceful degradation.
• Develop reliability solutions and deploy them into the customer environment.
• Validate resiliency through fail-over testing, chaos/resilience exercises, and recovery objective (RTO/RPO) verification.
General
• Conduct and contribute to AWS Well-Architected Framework reviews, focusing on the Observability and Reliability domains.
• Partner with customer stakeholders to gather NFRs and translate them into technical designs.
• Produce architecture documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer materials.
Required Qualifications
• Extensive, in-depth working experience with AWS CloudWatch, Dynatrace, Splunk, and Grafana, including a substantial history of capturing, manipulating, reporting, and dashboarding metrics.
• Proven expertise in High Availability, resiliency, and fail-over of AWS services in multi-zonal and multi-region configurations.
• Demonstrated ability to define AWS solutions that meet specified non-functional requirements.
• Hands-on experience developing solutions and deploying them into live customer/production environments.
• Strong understanding of the AWS Well-Architected Framework, particularly the Reliability and Operational Excellence pillars.
• Solid grasp of AWS core services (compute, networking, storage, load balancing, DNS/Route 53, IAM) as they relate to availability and observability.
Preferred Qualifications
• AWS certifications such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., CloudFormation, Terraform, CDK) for repeatable deployments.
• Familiarity with disaster recovery strategies and RTO/RPO-driven design.
• Experience in a consulting or customer-facing delivery capacity.
Key Attributes
• Able to operate independently as both an architect and a hands-on implementer.
• Strong communication skills for working directly with customer teams.
• Comfortable owning solutions from assessment through deployment.
