AWS Lead

Job Overview

The AWS Integration Consultant / Architect is responsible for designing, delivering, and governing enterprise-grade integration solutions using Amazon Web Services (AWS). The role enables organizations to connect cloud-native, hybrid, and SaaS systems using secure, scalable, and resilient integration patterns.

Depending on experience and seniority, the role may focus on hands-on integration delivery (Consultant) or architecture, integration strategy, and standards definition (Architect). The role works closely with business stakeholders, application teams, security architects, and platform teams to ensure integrations are reliable, sustainable, and aligned to enterprise cloud and security standards.

Key Responsibilities

Integration Design & Delivery

• Design and implement integrations using AWS services such as Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon EventBridge, Amazon SNS/SQS, and AWS Step Functions.

• Implement API-based, event-driven, and message-based integration patterns.

• Translate business and technical requirements into integration designs and implementations.

• Support integrations across enterprise systems including ERP, CRM, HR, data platforms, and SaaS applications.

Architecture & Standards (Architect Focus)

• Define AWS integration architecture, patterns, and best practices.

• Establish reusable integration components and reference architectures.

• Ensure alignment with enterprise security, networking, IAM, and governance standards.

• Review solution designs and provide architectural guidance across delivery teams.

Operations, Monitoring & Support

• Design error handling, retries, dead-letter queues, and monitoring strategies.

• Implement logging, tracing, and alerting using AWS monitoring tools.

• Support testing, deployment, cutover, and post-go-live stabilisation.

• Troubleshoot and resolve complex integration and performance issues.

• Contribute to operational documentation and support runbooks.

Collaboration & Advisory

• Collaborate with business, application, data, and cloud platform teams.

• Advise stakeholders on AWS integration approaches and trade-offs.
