    Role Description

    This is a full-time, hybrid role for an AWS Solutions Architect based in Nairobi, Kenya. This role is well suited for a hands-on cloud consultant who enjoys working closely with clients, translating business requirements into practical AWS solutions, and delivering projects end-to-end.

    You will play a key role in shaping cloud architectures, guiding customers through design and implementation decisions, and ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, and cost-effective. Working closely with customers, engineers, and leadership, you will help deliver high-impact cloud solutions that address real business challenges.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Design and implement secure, scalable, and cost-optimized AWS architectures for client environments

    • Act as a trusted technical advisor, participating in discovery sessions, solution walkthroughs, and architecture reviews

    • Translate business and operational requirements into clear technical designs and implementation plans

    • Lead or support cloud migration, modernization, and optimization initiatives

    • Perform hands-on implementation across AWS compute, storage, networking, security, and monitoring services

    • Support integration of AWS solutions with existing systems and third-party platforms

    • Produce high-quality technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and client-facing deliverables

    • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in a delivery-focused consulting environment



    Requirements

    • 4–7 years of relevant professional experience, with at least 2 years of hands-on AWS experience in client-facing or consulting roles

    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

    • Strong experience in AWS solution architecture and system integration

    • Practical, hands-on knowledge of core AWS services and cloud-native design principles

    • Proven experience working in consulting or customer-facing roles (discovery, delivery, or post-implementation support)

    • Ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

    • Solid understanding of cost-aware cloud design and architectural trade-offs

    • Experience with software development, scripting, or automation (e.g., Python, Terraform, CloudFormation)

    • Comfortable working independently while collaborating with a small, high-performing team

    • Strong problem-solving skills with a high sense of ownership and accountability

    Nice to Have

    • Experience supporting digital transformation or cloud migration initiatives

    • Exposure to DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure as code

    • AWS certifications (Associate or Professional)



    Benefits

    • Growth-minded environment

      Learning budgets, mentorship, and dedicated time for continuous professional development.

    • Health comes first

      Comprehensive medical, dental, and mental wellness coverage from day one.

    • Global team

      Work with colleagues across time zones, supported by strong async communication and regular shared activities.

    • Support beyond work

      A people-first culture that recognizes life happens—offering flexibility, empathy, and support beyond formal policies.
