StaffRight Associates is seeking an experienced Technical Solution Architect (AWS) on behalf of our client in Charlotte, NC. This is a hands-on leadership role designed for an architect with a strong development pedigree who specializes in building high-scale, event-driven integrations within an AWS ecosystem.

The Role at a Glance

We are looking for a "developer-grounded" architect someone who lives and breathes system design rather than DevOps or high-level business strategy. Your primary mission is to design and govern the flow of data across a rapidly expanding multi-SaaS landscape.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Design & Documentation: Translate upcoming business requirements into robust architectural blueprints. You will create detailed diagrams and data flow patterns (API Event Bus Lambda) that adhere to enterprise standards.

• AWS Event-Driven Architecture: Build and optimize resilient, fan-out communication models using AWS Lambda, EventBridge, and SQS/SNS. You will define how data is ingested, processed, and persisted at scale.

• Technical Governance: Act as the bridge between vision and execution. You will present architectural decisions to engineering teams, ensure stories are technically sound, and validate that the final build matches the intended design.

• Proactive Planning: Collaborate with Product Managers and Owners to anticipate integration bottlenecks before development starts, establishing reusable patterns for the broader team.

• Communication & Stakeholder Management: Interface with vendors and business leaders to provide clear technical direction. You must be able to speak with authority while maintaining professional discretion regarding technical complexities.

Candidate Requirements

• 3+ years of dedicated experience as a Technical Solution Architect.

• High-Volume Expertise: Proven track record of designing systems capable of handling millions of transactions per hour.

• SaaS Integration: Deep experience in rapidly scaling, multi-SaaS environments.

• Development Roots: Solid background in hands-on coding (specifically Python, C#, or Node.js).

• AWS Ecosystem: Advanced knowledge of event-driven services, API integrations, and serverless workflows.

• Data Management: Proficiency with relational databases like PostgreSQL and MS SQL Server.

• Engineering Standards: Strong grasp of CI/CD pipelines, mature SDLC practices, and strategic IT best practices.

• Exceptional analytical and critical-thinking capabilities.

• The ability to work autonomously while maintaining high team engagement.

• Clear, confident communication skills for presentations and high-level documentation.
