AWS Solutions Architect; Hybrid

Position: AWS Solutions Architect (Hybrid - Flexible Options)

Overview

At Broadridge, we've built a culture where the highest goal is to empower others to accomplish more. If you’re passionate about developing your career, while helping others along the way, come join the Broadridge team.

Broadridge is Growing! We’re seeking an AWS Solutions Architect to design, document, and guide implementation of secure, scalable cloud solutions across a diverse technology landscape. This role partners closely with business and technology stakeholders to analyze current-state systems and data flows, define target-state architectures, and drive alignment through clear communication and practical solution designs. You will produce end-to-end solution flows (e.g., in Visio) and translate requirements into architectures that meet nonfunctional requirements—performance, reliability, cost optimization (Fin Ops), security, and compliance.

This is a Senior-level Solutions Architect role supporting cross-team initiatives and influencing technical direction across multiple domains, with a strong emphasis on architecture documentation, stakeholder alignment, and cloud transformation on AWS.

• Work Model Options: Hybrid / Onsite (based on team needs and candidate location)
• Travel: Occasional travel (e.g., quarterly) for planning sessions, workshops, or key stakeholder meetings

What You’ll Do (Key Responsibilities)

Architecture & Solution Design

• Design end-to-end AWS architectures aligned to business goals and technical constraints, including:
• Landing zones (multi-account strategy, AWS Organizations, SCPs, guardrails)
• Microservices and domain-aligned architectures
• Serverless solutions (event-driven patterns)
• Containers (ECS/EKS) and service-to-service connectivity
• RDS (PostgreSQL), DynamoDB, etc.
• Hybrid connectivity (VPN/Direct Connect, identity integration)
• DR/BCP (multi-AZ, multi-region patterns, RTO/RPO design, resilience testing)
• Own architecture decisions considering nonfunctional requirements:
• Performance & scalability (capacity planning, latency considerations)
• Reliability & resiliency (HA patterns, fault isolation, disaster recovery)
• Security & compliance (least privilege, encryption, auditability)
• Cost optimization / Fin Ops (right-sizing, savings plans, cost allocation, unit economics)
• Produce architecture artifacts (high-quality, version-controlled documentation), including:
• Solution flows using Visio (context, sequence, integration, and data flows)
• Current-state and target-state architecture diagrams
• Logical and physical architecture views
• Integration patterns and API/event contracts (where applicable)

Current-State Analysis & Target-State Transformation

• Analyze existing solutions and data across a diverse set of technologies (cloud/on-prem/SaaS) to:
• Document current-state architecture, dependencies, and constraints
• Identify gaps, risks, and technical debt
• Propose a target-state with clear migration/transition steps
• Define pragmatic roadmaps and phased delivery plans (e.g., strangler patterns, incremental modernization)

Stakeholder Collaboration & Communication

• Communicate clearly and proactively with business and technology teams to share information, drive clarity, and gain alignment on solutions
• Facilitate architecture workshops, discovery sessions, and design reviews with product and engineering teams, security, risk, and compliance partners, infrastructure/operations/SRE teams, data/analytics teams, and executive stakeholders
• Translate complex technical tradeoffs into business-relevant outcomes (time-to-market, risk, cost, customer impact)

Governance, Standards, and Quality

• Establish and improve architecture standards and reusable patterns (reference architectures, templates, design checklists)
• Guide delivery teams through implementation, ensuring architectures are buildable and operable
• Contribute to technical decision-making forums (e.g., Architecture Review Board) and ensure solutions meet agreed guardrails

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to modernize platforms and accelerate delivery via automation, managed services, and repeatable patterns
• Promote innovation responsibly—balancing experimentation with security, reliability, and cost constraints
• Stay current on AWS…
