About

Sr Cloud Architect/ Lead Engineer 6 Month Contract + Remote
Tekfortune is a fast-growing consulting firm specialized in permanent, contract & project-based staffing services for world's leading organizations in a broad range of industries. In this quickly changing economic landscape, virtual recruiting and remote work are critical for the future of work. To support the active project demands and skills gaps, our staffing experts can help you find the best job for you. Summary
Senior architecture leadership with hands-on delivery. Validates that the 2.0 environment (ECS/Fargate, built on a ROSA-derived pattern) is right for staging and production, and works hands-on across Infrastructure-as-Code and observability. Owns IAM/security guardrails and networking coordination with the central Cloud team, and partners with the database SME on the Aurora/DMS direction. Key Responsibilities
Lead architecture and production-readiness validation for staging/prod: ECS/Fargate design and right-sizing, autoscaling, resilience patterns (circuit-breaker / rate-limiting), and the API Gateway decision. Work hands-on on Terraform/IaC hardening (remote state → DynamoDB locking, decompose state files to limit blast radius, modularization, standards/tags) and on observability (OpenTelemetry → ELK/Kibana, CloudWatch). Own IAM least-privilege and security guardrails / policy-as-code baseline; coordinate VPC/subnet/Transit Gateway/ALB-NLB and DNS needs with the central Cloud team and align to the landing zone. Partner with the fractional database SME and the client's external database firm on Aurora, DMS/CDC validation, and the DB2/SQL Server → PostgreSQL consolidation direction. Contribute to DR design (AWS DRS / ca-west-1, RTO/RPO); document and transfer knowledge to the client team. Required Skills & Experience
• 7+ years AWS; proven cloud/solutions architecture across compute (ECS/Fargate), networking and data; able to validate designs for scale and resilience. • Hands-on Terraform (state, modules, remote backends) and observability (OpenTelemetry, ELK/Kibana, CloudWatch). • Strong IAM/security (least-privilege, guardrails, KMS); working knowledge of VPC/TGW/ALB-NLB sufficient to coordinate with a central Cloud team. • Aurora PostgreSQL / DMS familiarity to partner with the DB SME; Spring Boot / microservices context a plus. • AWS certification (Solutions Architect Professional preferred).
