• Strong hands-on experience designing and implementing solutions on AWS.

• Confident working across application, data, and infrastructure domains.

• Ability to communicate architectural vision to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience with architecture frameworks (e.g. TOGAF) is a plus, but not essential.

• Able to work in agile delivery teams and support multiple modes of delivery (e.g. MVPs, PoCs, scaled implementation).

• Comfortable operating in regulated environments and balancing innovation with compliance.
