AWS Solution Architect Jobs in Germany (No ghost jobs, direct from employers)

Position Description:

Are you passionate about innovative AWS Cloud architectures? Terms like Cloud-Native, Well-Architected Frameworks, Zero Trust, and DevSecOps are not foreign to you but rather part of your mindset? Then join the CGI AWS team to help our customers reach the next level of transformation together! We are looking for talents like you who design and implement creative solutions as a team.

CGI is one of the TOP 5 global IT & Consulting service providers. Nationwide, we are expanding our Cloud Architecture, Governance, and Security Center, and you can be part of this future growth. In our growing team, you will experience flat hierarchies, close mentorship, and the opportunity to continuously expand your expertise in a dynamic and agile environment.

In addition to free hardware choice (Windows or MacBook) and an iPhone for personal use, we offer profit-sharing and a mentoring program to help you get started at CGI. Flexible work arrangements are standard, as are the open-door policy of your colleagues and the use of ‘Du’ (informal address). Do you want to become part of our global network of IT thought leaders? Then take your next step with us!

Your future duties and responsibilities:

As part of an interdisciplinary AWS Architecture team, you will take on key tasks and responsibilities in projects and services in close collaboration with your engineering colleagues and our customers.

In this role, you will design and implement modern cloud technologies, with a focus on sustainable IT architecture design and high stability and availability of the application landscape. At CGI, you won’t just be a PowerPoint architect—you will be responsible for both the design and implementation of AWS architectures based on our customers’ defined requirements. You will also advise on requirements management and solution design from the outset. Security and governance will be integrated into your decisions from day one of the design process.

Your tasks include:

• You serve as the technical point of contact for our customers and lead our Cloud & Dev(Sec)Ops engineers technically

• You translate customer requirements into highly available and secure AWS architectures, considering software architecture and leveraging cutting-edge technologies and trends

• You select the appropriate platform for the solution—whether IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, or FaaS? Containerized or serverless?

• You are responsible for the governance of the environment and design corresponding processes and tools (e.g., using AWS Config or Terraform Sentinel)

• At the architectural level, you ensure the security of the environment. You will successfully convince our customers of the benefits of identity-driven security concepts, Zero Trust paradigms, and DevSecOps compared to traditional network-based security approaches

• You implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automate everything (primarily using Terraform)

• You design and implement container-based solutions, primarily using (managed) Kubernetes & Docker

• You configure Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines (e.g., using GitLab, GitHub, or Jenkins) to improve efficiency in customer projects

We value shared success—you will always be supported by your team and our Principal Architects. Together with your mentors, you will shape your individual development plan.

Required qualifications to be successful in this role:

In addition to your passion for cloud architecture, you hold an information technology degree or equivalent qualification and have several years of professional experience implementing IT architectures in conjunction with cloud-based services and platforms.

You also bring the following skills:

• AWS or Kubernetes certifications, preferably as an architect

• Broad knowledge of current cloud service portfolios from major players (AWS, Azure)

• Knowledge of technical leadership methodologies, agile approaches, and IT architecture

• Professional communication skills in German and English

• High self-responsibility and proactivity

• Interest in, openness to, and willingness to experiment with new technologies, such as Generative & Agentic AI

What we offer:

At CGI, you will find colleagues with whom collaboration is enjoyable. We interact openly, use informal address across all positions, and do not think in terms of hierarchies or silos—we see ourselves as a multinational homeport for cloud enthusiasts, not as a technical silo.

We actively promote team exchange—weekly brownbag sessions, regular TechDays, and deep dives and PoCs are part of our culture.

Your professional development and growth are important to us—CGI covers relevant certifications (e.g., Microsoft, AWS, HashiCorp, CNCF).

You and your manager jointly steer your personal development—annually, we set individual goals for the fiscal year together. You lead your development, which can also be planned over a long-term personal development plan.

You can invest part of your gross salary in CGI shares—up to a maximum of 3% of your monthly salary, we match each euro with an additional one.

Sabbaticals or parental leave are supported—at CGI, they are not career stoppers!

A variety of events and leisure activities strengthen your connection to your team.
