(Senior) AWS Cloud Consultant - Cloud Foundations & Platform Engineering

As a (Senior) AWS Cloud Consultant at tecRacer, you play a key role in guiding our customers on their cloud journey — from architecture to automation, from security to transformation. You work closely with customers, colleagues, and partners to deliver meaningful AWS-based solutions. You are not only technically skilled, but also a trusted advisor, a mentor to junior consultants, and someone who keeps the bigger picture in mind.

At tecRacer, we believe in impact over hierarchy. We collaborate, support each other, and stay curious.

We are an AWS Premier Consulting and Advanced Training Partner — shaping AWS transformations across Europe.

• Design cloud architectures that are scalable, secure, and cost-efficient.

• Implement and configure AWS services independently or as part of a team.

• Support the presales process, create proposals, and facilitate customer workshops.

• Act as a mentor for junior consultants and empower customers through training and enablement.

• Develop identity and access concepts (AWS IAM, IAM Identity Center, integration with existing identity providers).

• Establish governance and compliance processes, including automation using Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, CDK).

• Define and implement FinOps practices to ensure measurable cost and resource optimization.

• Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a comparable STEM discipline.

• Solid knowledge of AWS services and cloud architectures.
