About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Senior AWS Engineer to join our Professional Services delivery team on a permanent basis. This is a hands-on, customer-facing delivery role within a consultancy environment, not an internal platform engineering position. You will design and build secure, well-architected AWS environments and lead the migration of customer workloads into AWS. You will also contribute to pre-sales scoping and effort estimation.
Responsibilities
- Design and build AWS Landing Zones and multi-account environments using Control Tower and Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation and/or Terraform / CDK).
- Lead and deliver enterprise migration and estate-separation programmes, migrating servers and workloads into AWS using AWS MGN and related tooling, across structured migration waves.
- Migrate databases as part of infrastructure migrations to AWS, for example, moving on-premises MS SQL Server to Amazon RDS, using appropriate migration tooling and cutover approaches.
- Design and implement AWS networking for migrations, including Transit Gateway, VPN, and hybrid connectivity, and deploy application platforms into the target environment.
- Support live migration waves and cutovers in production, including planned out-of-hours activity.
- Contribute to Well-Architected Reviews, security hardening, DR enablement, and cost optimisation across customer estates.
- Work directly with customer technical stakeholders as a trusted, credible engineer in a consultancy setting.
- Collaborate with Solution Architects to translate designs into buildable solutions, and with Project Managers to deliver within SOW scope, timeline, and budget.
- Participate in pre-sales activities: solution scoping, effort estimation, and input into Statements of Work and proposals.
- Produce clear technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, build guides, runbooks, and handover material.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal knowledge sharing and capability building.
Requirements
- Demonstrable hands-on AWS engineering experience delivered within a Professional Services, consultancy, or Managed Services environment.
- Proven experience delivering AWS migration programmes for external customers, including migrating servers and workloads into AWS.
- Experience migrating databases as part of an infrastructure migration to AWS (e.g., on-premises MS SQL Server to Amazon RDS).
- Proven experience building and provisioning infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation and/or Terraform).
- Experience designing and implementing AWS Landing Zones and multi-account governance.
- Experience with architecture design work and the ability to estimate effort for consultancy engagements.
- Confident working alongside Project Managers and Solution Architects within structured, SOW-driven delivery teams.
- Excellent communication skills, comfortable in customer-facing delivery environments.
- Based in the UK with the right to work; able to travel to customer sites and Cloud Bridge offices as needed.
