We are seeking an experienced Cloud Solutions Architect to lead the design and implementation of a data-driven decision-support platform.
This is a full-time remote role for a client based in Dublin, Ireland. The Solution Architect will be responsible for designing, implementing, and managing cloud infrastructure and solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
* Design and Implementation: Develop cloud architectures, design solutions, and implement them on AWS.
* Solution Development: Integrate existing semi-automated and disconnected components into a coherent, automated data processing pipeline.
* Data Ingestion: Secure storage and access controls for large-volume datasets
* Data Processing Workflows: Scalable and performant data visualisation tools (e.g., dashboards, mapping interfaces)
* Cloud Migration: Assist with migrating applications and data to the AWS cloud.
* Security and Reliability: Ensure solutions are secure, reliable, and meet compliance standards.
* Performance and Optimization: Optimize cloud systems for performance, cost efficiency, and scalability.
The successful candidate would have proven experience in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. A good understanding of Earth Observation technologies would be a significant advantage.
The implementation period will involve orchestrating multiple existing components within an AWS environment to create an integrated, scalable, and secure platform for data ingestion, data processing and analysis (including machine learning), and browser-based applications for visualisation of data and user interaction.
The solution architect will be responsible for defining and governing the end-to-end technical architecture, ensuring the solution meets user needs, solution performance objectives, compliance requirements, and is aligned with industry and AWS best practices.
We require a Solution Architect that can collaborate with project partners, client stakeholders, data scientists, developers, DevOps engineers, managed cloud service providers, and external stakeholders.
The architect will oversee and coordinate the delivery of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), and support the transition into a multi-year operational phase with iterative enhancements of the solution's functionality.
