Resume gap analysis for Cloud Architect

Solution architecture depth is stated, never evidenced

Most Cloud Architect resumes list Solution architecture as a bullet in a skills bar. Job descriptions ask what you built with it. Attach Solution architecture to one project, its scope, and the result.

No numbers against migration cost saved

Hiring managers for this role scan for migration cost saved and architecture review turnaround. A resume without those figures reads as a cloud architect who was present, not one who moved anything.

AWS listed, Azure missing

JDs for this role usually pair AWS with Azure. Naming only one signals partial coverage of the workflow and drops your keyword match.

Multi-cloud strategy and Well-Architected reviews buried under duties

Multi-cloud strategy and Well-Architected reviews are core screening keywords for Cloud Architect openings, but they often sit at the bottom of a paragraph. An ATS weights the first lines of each role far more heavily.

Scope of ownership is unclear

"own target-state cloud architecture across business units" means something different at a 5-person team and a 500-person org. State team size, budget, volume, or user count so the reviewer can place your Cost governance experience.

Certifications and qualifications not surfaced

AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional, TOGAF appear in the preferred section of most Cloud Architect JDs. If you hold one, it belongs near the top, not in a trailing "Others" line.
