Cloud Architect

SimplifyNext is a fast-growing consulting and technology firm founded by veterans from top-tier consulting companies, focused on AI, Automation, and Application Platforms. Our mission is to drive business transformation across industries by combining strategic insight with deep technical expertise.

We work with leading enterprises and public sector organisations across Singapore and the Asia Pacific region to design, build, and operate scalable digital and automation platforms — delivering impactful transformations for global and local organisations alike.

Built as an agile practice, we mentor and grow the next generation of consulting and technology experts. We invest heavily in structured training and enablement programmes that help our teams expand across Intelligent Automation, Test Automation, AI-powered workflows, and Agentic AI solutions.

Recognised as one of the fastest-growing companies in Singapore and Asia Pacific, SimplifyNext is positioned as one of the most credible and ambitious digital transformation teams in the region.

As the Cloud Architect, you will own solution architecture across the full lifecycle — from pre-sales and solutioning, to hands-on design, build guidance, and production rollout.

You will partner closely with sales, consulting, and delivery teams to translate business problems into secure, scalable AWS architectures, while staying close enough to the technology to ensure solutions are practical and buildable. 

What You’ll Do 

Pre-Sales & Solutioning 

• Engage clients during discovery to understand business, technical, and operational requirements 
• Design AWS solution architectures for proposals, RFPs, and client presentations 
• Articulate architecture options, trade-offs, and cost considerations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders 
• Support effort estimation, sizing, and high-level delivery approaches 
• Collaborate with sales and consulting teams to shape compelling, technically sound solutions 

Architecture & Hands-on Delivery 

• Design end-to-end AWS architectures covering compute, storage, networking, security, and data 
• Define reference architectures, patterns, and standards for delivery teams 
• Remain hands-on where needed — reviewing IaC, cloud configurations, and application designs 
• Guide developers and DevOps engineers on architecture, security, and scalability decisions 
• Ensure solutions meet non-functional requirements (performance, availability, resilience, cost) 
• Support cloud migrations, modernisation, and optimisation initiatives 

What We’re Looking For 

• 6+ years of overall IT experience, with strong hands-on AWS architecture background 
• Proven experience designing and delivering production AWS solutions 
• Strong knowledge of AWS services (EC2, VPC, IAM, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, Lambda, ECS/EKS, etc.) 
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent) 
• Solid understanding of cloud security, networking, and governance 
• Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices 
• Comfortable engaging clients, running architecture discussions, and presenting solutions 
• Ability to balance technical depth with business context 
• AWS Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional) certification is strongly preferred 
• Degree or Diploma in Computer Science, Engineering, or related disciplines 

Why Join Us

• Architect and deliver real-world, enterprise-grade AWS solutions 
• Play a visible role in both pre-sales and delivery success 
• Work closely with senior consultants, sales leaders, and engineering teams 
• Strong support for certifications, learning, and technical growth 
• Opportunity to grow into Principal Architect, Cloud Practice Lead, or Solution Director roles 

At SimplifyNext, we’re committed to building a team of curious, driven, and forward-thinking individuals who care deeply about creating meaningful impact through technology. If you’re excited by the opportunity to grow, collaborate, and shape the future of digital transformation across the region, we’d be happy to hear from you.
