AWS API Technical Architect

Smartedge’s Client is looking for an individual to help with their AWS API Technical Architect @ Remote Working (UK)

Key area:

We are looking for an AWS API Engineer / Data Architect to design secure, scalable, and well-integrated API and microservices architectures across multiple client applications and services.

* Design serverless and microservices-based API architectures on AWS

* Define and apply RESTful API design patterns and integration standards

* Support system and data integration across distributed services

* Assess and address technical debt, recommending pragmatic modernisation approaches

* Work closely with product teams to design solutions that align to their roadmap and support their needs

* Support deployment planning, cutover activities, and post‐go‐live stabilisation

* Collaborate with cybersecurity and delivery teams to ensure secure, observable solutions

* Design the integration of applications with identity providers and secure access patterns"

"The services used across these systems are likely to include:

* AWS Services (i.e. API Gateway, Lambda, Aurora RDS Postgres, EKS, ECR, STS, Route 53, VPC)

* Kubernetes

* CI/CD (e.g. GitHub, Jenkins)

* Prometheus, Grafana

* ELK

* Apollo GraphQL, TypeScript

* AWS Config, AWS Macie, AWS Guard Duty, AWS Security Hub, Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon CloudTrail"

It is not necessary to have experience in all the above; the most key element is a strong foundation in API and microservices architecture.

Happy to consider candidates from an engineering / delivery-focused background as well as experienced architects.
