• Review designs from engineering teams and flag risks early.
• Design cloud architectures on AWS, Azure or GCP that account for security, cost and availability.
• Estimate effort and help shape statements of work with delivery managers.

• Experience designing distributed systems, APIs and data flows.
• Deep knowledge of at least one major cloud platform.
• Strong diagramming and documentation skills (Lucidchart, draw, C4 model)

Nice to have
