- Understand various technical tools used in the project (third party as well as home-grown) to improve efficiency productivity
Skill Examples
- Use Domain/ Industry Knowledge to understand business requirements create POC to meet business requirements under guidance
- Use Technology Knowledge to analyse technology based on client's specific requirement analyse and understand existing implementations work on simple technology implementations (POC) under guidance guide the developers and enable them in the implementation of same
- Use knowledge of Architecture Concepts and Principles to provide inputs to the senior architects towards building component solutions deploy the solution as per the architecture under guidance
- Use Tools and Principles to create low level design under guidance from the senior Architect for the given business requirements
- Use Project Governance Framework to facilitate communication with the right stakeholders and Project Metrics to help them understand their relevance in project and to share input on project metrics with the relevant stakeholders for own area of work
- Use Estimation and Resource Planning knowledge to help estimate and plan resources for specific modules / small projects with detailed requirements in place
- Use Knowledge Management Tools and Techniques to participate in the knowledge management process (such as Project specific KT) consume/contribute to the knowledge management repository
- Use knowledge of Technical Standards Documentation and Templates to understand and interpret the documents provided
- Use Solution Structuring knowledge to understand the proposed solution provide inputs to create draft proposals/ RFP (including effort estimation scheduling resource loading etc.)
Knowledge Examples
- Domain/ Industry Knowledge: Has basic knowledge of standard business processes within the relevant industry vertical and customer business domain
- Technology Knowledge: Has deep working knowledge on the one technology tower and gain more knowledge in Cloud and Security

JD Role Overview We’re seeking an AWS Certified Solutions Architect with strong Python and familiarity with .NET ecosystems to lead an application modernization effort. You will partner with cross-functional development teams to transform on-premises, monolithic .NET applications into a cloud-native, microservices-based architecture on AWS. ________________________________________ Key Responsibilities
- Architect & Design: o Define the target state: microservices design, domain-driven boundaries, API contracts. o Choose AWS services (EKS/ECS, Lambda, State Machines/Step Functions, API Gateway, EventBridge, RDS/DynamoDB, S3, etc.) to meet scalability, availability, and security requirements.
- Modernization Roadmap: o Assess existing .NET applications and data stores; identify refactoring vs. re-platform opportunities. o Develop a phased migration strategy
- Infrastructure as Code: o Author and review CloudFormation. o Establish CI/CD pipelines (CodePipeline, CodeBuild, GitHub Actions, Jenkins) for automated build, test, and deployment.
- Development Collaboration: o Mentor and guide .NET and Python developers on containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS), and serverless patterns. o Review code and design patterns to ensure best practices in resilience, observability, and security.
- Security & Compliance: o Ensure alignment with IAM roles/policies, VPC networking, security groups, and KMS encryption strategies. o Conduct threat modelling and partner with security teams to implement controls (WAF, GuardDuty, Shield).
- Performance & Cost Optimization: o Implement autoscaling, right-sizing, and reserved instance strategies. o Use CloudWatch, X-Ray, Elastic Stack and third-party tools to monitor performance and troubleshoot.
- Documentation & Knowledge Transfer: o Produce high-level and detailed architecture diagrams, runbooks, and operational playbooks. o Lead workshops and brown-bags to upskill teams on AWS services and cloud-native design. o Drive day to day work to the 24 by 7 IOC Team. ________________________________________ Must-Have Skills & Experience
- AWS Expertise: o AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate or Professional o Deep hands-on with EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, S3, VPC, IAM
