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.

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.
