Full Job Description
The Team

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Solutions Architect team partners with customers to design and build some of the most scalable, flexible and resilient cloud architectures and solutions. AWS Solutions Architects collaborate with AWS Sales, AWS product and other AWS teams to help address customer business challenges and accelerate the adoption of AWS services.

The Role

As a trusted customer advocate, Solutions Architects help organizations understand best practices around advanced cloud-based solutions, and provide advice on strategies for migrating existing workloads to the cloud. You'll help drive successful business outcomes across a broad set of enterprise customers through your passion for educating, training, designing and building cloud solutions.

You will have the opportunity to help shape and execute a strategy to build deep adoption and broad use of AWS within your enterprise customers, and you will do this by mobilizing resources within AWS and working with our extensive partner network.

On the business side, strong communication skills are essential. You will spend most of your day interacting with customers via email, phone, video, and in-person meetings - with audiences ranging from developers and team leads to engineering directors and CxOs. We need someone who can adjust tone and technical depth based on the audience, read non-verbal cues effectively, and pick up on unstated drivers behind decisions.

Key job responsibilities

• Participate in deep architectural and design discussions with customers to create world-class solutions built on AWS
• Work with customers to understand their business needs and provide prescriptive guidance on how to leverage AWS technologies
