## Description

UST is searching for an AWS Cloud Architect to lead the architecture and execution of our on-premises to AWS migration. This role owns the end-to-end target-state design for a complex application landscape that includes Liferay, SiteCore, PingFederate, ETL jobs, and Angular/Node.js applications - and works hands-on with DevOps practices to get workloads safely into production on AWS.

What You'll Do

 * Own the target-state AWS architecture for the on-premises to AWS migration across the application portfolio

 * Assess existing on-prem applications - Liferay, SiteCore, PingFederate, ETL jobs, Angular/Node.js services - and define per-application migration strategy (rehost, replatform, refactor)

 * Design AWS infrastructure and integration patterns for portal/CMS platforms (Liferay, SiteCore) and identity/SSO (PingFederate)

 * Architect migration and re-platforming of ETL jobs onto AWS-native or AWS-compatible data processing services

 * Define CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices (build, test, deploy, containerization) for migrated applications

 * Establish cloud engineering standards, guardrails, and reference architectures for teams to follow during migration

 * Lead technical design reviews, migration runbooks, and cutover planning across application teams

 * Partner with security and DevSecOps to ensure migrated applications meet compliance and security requirements

 * Provide hands-on architectural guidance and troubleshooting support during build and cutover phases

 * Define and implement the observability strategy for migrated applications using Dynatrace

 * Design certificate management architecture using AWS Certificate Manager (ACM) for migrated applications and load balancers
