Role overview
Own the end‑to‑end cloud architecture and security posture for the MVP, translating requirements into a pragmatic,
production‑ready design that can be delivered by a small, focused team (2× Cloud Engineers, DevOps Engineer).
Lead
architecture decisions, risk trade‑offs, and go‑live readiness.
Key responsibilities
- Architecture ownership: Map requirements to AWS managed services; maintain Architecture.md and decision
- records (ADRs).
- Content delivery: Design CloudFront with Origin Access Control (OAC), Origin Shield, cache policies, WAF
- baseline, and short‑TTL signed URLs (Key Groups).
- Storage & data: Define S3 buckets with versioning/lifecycle/KMS; enable Multi‑Region Access Point (MRAP) for
- read path; DynamoDB schema and Global Tables for metadata.
- Services: Guide API Gateway + AWS Lambda patterns (metadata‑service, upload‑service with multipart +
- checksum, link‑service issuing signed URLs) with JWT authorizers.
- Identity: Integrate Salesforce Partner Portal SAML with Amazon Cognito (User Pool as SP); internal admin SSO via
- IAM Identity Center; token/claims design and session security.
- Security: Enforce least‑privilege IAM, KMS multi‑Region keys, Secrets Manager/SSM, TLS policies, WAF managed
- rules and suppressions.
- Observability: CloudFront logs → Kinesis Firehose → S3; CloudTrail (incl. S3 data events); CloudWatch metrics,
- dashboards, and alarms.
- DR & reliability: Propose RTO/RPO; enable DynamoDB PITR; plan MRAP read‑path failover drill; create runbooks
- for failover/rollback.
- Performance & scale: Tune large‑file handling (multipart, range, resume), cache hit ratios, and edge performance;
- guide load testing targets.
- Cost & sustainability: Set cache and lifecycle strategies; review cost reports; recommend optimizations post‑MVP.
- Delivery leadership: Sequence scope for a 12‑week plan; de‑risk critical paths; partner with DevOps on Terraform
- modules, CI/CD, and environment promotion gates.

- Tables, PITR), API Gateway, Lambda, Cognito (SAML SP), IAM/IAM Identity Center.
- Multi‑account Organizations experience (OUs, SCPs, baselines) and OIDC‑based CI/CD.
- Strong Terraform design for multi‑region/multi‑account, with immutable deployments and drift detection.
- Security best practices: KMS, Secrets Manager, SSM, WAF, TLS, least‑privilege IAM policy design.
- Observability setup: CloudTrail, CloudWatch, structured logging, alarms, and metrics for SLOs.
- Excellent written architecture artifacts and stakeholder communication.
- Preferred qualifications
- Large‑object distribution performance (range/resume, Origin Shield tuning, cache key s
