This is not AWS focussed. I have tailored it to be AWS cloud focussed.

> Solution Architect — AWS / Cloud
>
> Location: India (Hybrid, overlap hours with US delivery leadership)
>
> Experience: 10+ years overall, 5+ years in solution architecture, cloud architecture, or technical leadership roles
>
> Role Summary The India-based Solution Architect will own the technical solution design and cloud architecture for the offshore delivery organization, translating business and product requirements into scalable, secure, and implementable technical solutions.
>
> The role will work closely with the US Architects, engineering leads, and development teams to define solution architecture, application architecture, integration patterns, AWS infrastructure, and engineering standards across functional streams.
>
> The ideal candidate is a strong hands-on architect with deep experience in AWS cloud architecture, modern web applications, APIs, databases, integrations, security, CI/CD, and distributed systems. The role requires the ability to move from high-level solution design to detailed technical guidance and support engineering teams through implementation.
