Enterprise Architect, AWS Practice

This role bridges technology and enterprise architecture, surrounded by a deeply talented team of engineers and architects who push each other's thinking. NeuraFlash, Part of Accenture, offers the autonomy that comes with being trusted as an expert — you're given the room to lead and the support to do it well — while you work alongside recognized leaders in agentic AI, on an expanding roster of enterprise clients and high-impact engagements.

About the role

This role anchors our AWS practice as it takes on larger, more complex engagements — the kind where much of the work happens before any build begins. Enterprise clients expect architects who already speak their language: people who can lead a security review with confidence and understand what an approval process is really asking for. This role exists to make sure that groundwork is set deliberately and consistently, on every engagement.

As an Enterprise Architect, you sit where delivery, security and governance, and the client relationship all meet. Solution and Technical Architects lead the individual designs, and you hold the enterprise view that keeps them coherent as a whole — technically, and in the client's eyes. You'll be the person the client comes to for the full picture, and one the team leans on to keep a complex engagement on track — just as you'll lean on them.

What you'll be doing

• Own the architecture across a client engagement — keeping the technical decisions, the business goals, and the delivery timeline pointed in the same direction from discovery through go-live
• Be the client's main point of contact for architecture and technical strategy, translating their business goals into an AWS architecture that delivers on them
• Lead client security reviews, compliance, and approval and quality gates, and get the documentation shaped right so things keep moving instead of stalling
• Work alongside Solution and Technical Architects, giving them the cross-system, cross-stakeholder context that keeps their designs coherent at the enterprise level
• Run discovery, build the business case and ROI for modernization, and help pre-sales with estimates and executive conversations
• Set up the standards, governance, and reusable playbooks that make the next engagement easier than the last — including a cleaner, repeatable way to stand up greenfield AWS accounts
• Comfortable running several client engagements at once without losing the thread on any of them
• Look after the health of the client relationship, spotting risks early and being the one accountable person the client can always go to

What you'll bring

Required:

• 8+ years of hands-on AWS architecture, with real depth across the core services
• 5+ years designing and governing secure, scalable, highly available systems in complex organizations
• A track record of owning client relationships and outcomes, not only technical deliverables
• Comfort in front of regulated enterprise clients — you understand what their security, compliance and approval processes are really asking for, and you carry credibility with their executives
• Consulting or professional services experience, where managing the client relationship is inseparable from the technical work
• TOGAF certification, or equivalent depth applying a formal enterprise architecture framework in practice

Nice to have:

• Experience with Amazon Connect or other CCaaS/contact center solutions, including AWS + Salesforce integration (Connect + Service Cloud Voice)
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect – Professional or a relevant Specialty)
• Experience with AI/ML services like Amazon Q, Bedrock, or SageMaker
• Multi-cloud experience (Azure or GCP) alongside a primary AWS focus.

You'll probably enjoy this role if...

• You're drawn to complex problems, where the technology, the business, and plain organizational inertia are all pulling different ways
• You'd rather set an engagement up right at the start than spend it undoing decisions that got made without you
• You're the person people come to when a decision is hard enough that nobody else wants to own it
• You're equally comfortable in an executive conversation and in a detailed technical discussion with engineers
• You're at your best bringing order to ambiguity, and helping people find a way forward when priorities are fighting each other
