About The Position

SnapSoft is seeking a senior AWS Cloud Solutions Architect to lead the technical delivery of complex cloud migration and modernization programs for clients across North America.

The position reports to an Engineering Manager based in Europe and collaborates with US- and Budapest-based engineers, as well as colleagues in AI/ML and Application Development.

The role is fully remote from Latin America, specifically Argentina or Brazil, and requires a few hours of daily overlap with Central European Time and North American client hours. Occasional business travel may be required for strategic customer engagements.
