Lead an AWS engineering workstream from landing zone to production as AWS Engineering Lead. 
  • $150k to $165k package
  • Hybrid Sydney: 3 days in the office, 2 from home
  • Lead and grow your own engineering team
About the opportunity:

A global professional services firm is building out the cloud and platform engineering capability of its Sydney engineering practice, delivering cloud platforms, software and AI solutions for clients, with financial services a key sector. This role leads a technical workstream end to end: you'll own the architecture from the landing zone up, set the technical standards your team builds to, and be the person clients and delivery leads turn to when a problem gets hard. It suits a technical lead who wants to keep building while growing the engineers around them.

The role:
  • Lead a technical workstream and a team of engineers, owning architecture and build through to production
  • Run architecture and code reviews, including AI-generated output, holding a high bar for security and production-readiness
  • Be a key technical contact for clients, turning complex requirements into practical solutions
  • Own system performance, security posture and resilience, and act as the escalation point
  • Build accelerators, scope new opportunities and help shape how the practice works
What you'll bring:
  • 6 to 10 years in AWS engineering, architecture or technical leadership, including leading teams
  • Multi-account platform architecture with Control Tower, Landing Zone Accelerator, Transit Gateway and Entra ID federation
  • Strong IaC with AWS CDK and Terraform, and CI/CD pipeline design
  • Practical experience delivering solutions with Amazon Bedrock and generative AI
  • Experience supporting or leading enterprise transitions to cloud-native AWS
Financial services domain knowledge, a consulting background and project financial management experience are all highly regarded.

Culture:
  • Open, collaborative engineering community that shares what works
  • Autonomy to lead in a fast-moving, Agile environment
  • A clear emphasis on outcomes and quality over volume of output
  • Mentors and coaches to support your own career path
What's on offer
  • Permanent role
  • Supported certification pathway across AWS Professional and Specialty, AI, Anthropic and OpenAI credentials
  • Exposure to a wide range of clients and technologies, with access to strong training
  • Hybrid working (3 days in the office, 2 from home) and a recognition and rewards platform
If you're an AWS technical lead who wants to own the architecture and grow a team, "APPLY NOW" or contact Guy Nardo at PRA on guy.nardo@pra.com.au for a confidential conversation.
