Full Job Descriptions
Overview
We're seeking a hands-on AWS Architect to iteratively design, document, model and implement cost-effective, secure, monitored, robust, performant, optimized and highly-scalable cloud infrastructure that powers our avatar-driven product ecosystem as we scale from hundreds to thousands to millions of users. This role focuses on building a resilient, high‐performance environment capable of supporting real-time interactions, rapid growth, and continuous iteration, with AWS Architecture best practices and more general Architecture best practices reported & reflected on along the way, along with prioritized tradeoffs, risks, limitations and recommendations.
Key Responsibilities
| Area | What You'll Do |
| Scalable Cloud Architecture | - Design and evolve AWS architectures that support real-time avatar interactions and high‐volume traffic - Build systems that scale horizontally and vertically across global regions - Ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery readiness |
| Performance & Cost Optimization | - Continuously tune compute, storage, and networking for speed and efficiency - Implement autoscaling, caching, and load balancing strategies - Optimize cost structures across environments without compromising performance |
| Infrastructure as Code & Automation | - Build and maintain IaC using Terraform, CloudFormation, and/or CDK - Automate deployments, environment provisioning, and configuration management - Establish CI/CD pipelines that support rapid iteration and safe releases |
| Security & Compliance | - Implement best‐practice security patterns across identity, data, and network layers - Ensure compliance with industry standards, certification requirements and internal governance - Monitor and remediate vulnerabilities across environments |
| Observability & Reliability | - Build robust monitoring, logging, and alerting frameworks - Diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks in real time - Ensure predictable uptime and smooth user experiences - Implement cost-effective disaster recovery processes and schedule |
| Collaboration & Product Alignment | - Partner with engineering, product, and avatar platform teams to align infrastructure with roadmap needs - Model current and future state based upon requirements, efficiently to achieve weekly required deliverables - Support pilots, demos, and client environments with reliable cloud foundations - Translate product requirements into scalable technical solutions |
