AWS Cloud Solutions Architect

About the company

At Graylight Imaging, we create advanced technologies and conduct research and development work. In this project, you will support a client from the USA in the geosciences field, developing AWS infrastructure.

Your tasks

About the project: You will design and develop AWS infrastructure supporting demanding computational tasks, including parallel processing using CPU and GPU. This is a project where solid cloud engineering foundations, automation, and independently proposing solutions matter.

• designing, implementing, and maintaining AWS infrastructure for client projects in the geosciences field;
• automating the build and configuration of infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform and CloudFormation;
• designing and configuring AWS Batch jobs, queues, and job definitions for parallel computational workloads;
• selecting and optimizing EC2 resources, including CPU-, GPU-, and memory-optimized instances;
• configuring S3 buckets and secure access to files and folders, including between AWS accounts;
• building and maintaining container environments using Docker, ECR, and ECS;
• developing and managing solutions using PostgreSQL and DynamoDB databases;
• configuring job queuing and processing using SQS and Launch Templates, as well as email/SNS notifications regarding job completion or errors;
• creating dashboards and monitoring covering job runs, service and instance usage, execution time, and costs, using CloudWatch and Athena;
• designing and maintaining secure network configurations and AWS permissions, including VPC, subnets, Security Groups, VPC Endpoints, and permission boundaries;
• implementing and supporting solutions in DEV, TEST, and PROD accounts and collaborating with the client's IT teams to resolve issues;
• analyzing user requirements, preparing documentation in Azure DevOps Wiki and Excel, translating needs into technical solutions, and advising on architecture and further development.
