We are looking for a full-time Senior Cloud Architect to join our client-centered team and support our growing AWS Practice. This position offers the flexibility of fully remote work.

As a Senior Cloud Architect on our AWS team, you will serve as both a sales liaison and technical lead across a portfolio of cloud native projects. You will help identify and land new AWS engagements, lead technical discovery conversations, and design infrastructure solutions that meet diverse client needs. Beyond traditional architecture responsibilities, you will actively participate in code development, drive solution design from requirements through deployment, and contribute to Soliant's presence within the AWS APN Partner network. Acting as both a trusted client advisor and internal technical authority, you will partner closely with project managers, business analysts, and fellow developers on your Client Services Team to evaluate new opportunities, estimate work, and deliver high-quality cloud solutions that dramatically improve your clients' businesses.

Cloud Sales Engineer

Qualified candidates will have hands on experience designing and deploying AWS infrastructure solutions and demonstrated success with AWS sales. AWS specialty or professional certification required.

Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose

Are you looking to shift gears from the enterprise hustle grind to a boutique software consultancy where you can really make a difference and move the needle?

You're in luck! Our team is small, and our culture is optimized for people who want to make an impact - you'll have freedom to make decisions about what we should do and how. You have significant autonomy to tune and improve our mature architectural and process standards. As consultants, we work on a variety of cloud native applications each year, so you won't get stuck in a rut. We hire people who know how to get the job done and who are always striving to improve things.

You will work on identifying and landing several diverse projects per year. We focus on a consistent process for gathering and defining requirements to avoid the typical chaos of startups, which pairs nicely with opportunities to start fresh periodically and evolve with the state of the art.

We support many professional development options, such as attendance at conferences and sponsorship for training and certification efforts.

Our company also supports contributing back to OSS, and we have a philanthropic committee that selects organizations making a difference in the world for development grants. If you are motivated by these types of things, you are encouraged to take part. This job is very much what you make of it.

Our Tech Stack

We aren't over-concerned with exactly which platforms and technologies you have experience with so long as you have solid experience developing modern AWS solutions and are able to adapt to established standards and practices.

We are intentionally somewhat opinionated so that we can gain common experience and support each other on various projects. The technical components we select for a typical client project naturally tend to evolve over time along with changes in the industry. We currently favor the following on our client projects:

• DevOps and associated AWS tools
• Migration Workload Analysis tool sets
• Lambda and/or Fargate
• CDK (Cloud Development Kit)
• DynamoDB and RDS PostrgeSQL
• Git (Bitbucket and GitHub)

Responsibilities

As a Cloud Sales Engineer, you'll work as a sales liaison and tech lead on a Client Services Team (CST) that handles a portfolio of cloud native projects. CSTs generally also include a Business Analyst, a Project Manager, and other developers.

You'll take part in Soliant's internal tech forums, contribute to the growth of your CST, and help with continual refinement and improvement of best practices as the industry moves forward.

As a reliable self-starter who consults effectively and lands and structures new work, you'll deliver significant value for appreciative clients, and you'll share in the effort to dramatically improve your clients' businesses.

• Active participation as a Sales Liaison to help evaluate and estimate new work
• Active participation in outreach for new work, including webinars and other collaborative sales events
