Specialist Solutions Architect, AWS Supply Chain

DESCRIPTION

Do you enjoy deconstructing complex systems to see how each component works? Do you think about how you could use artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize an entire Supply Chain and its various components, which may include Demand/Supply Planning, Inventory Planning, and Analytics? Then come work for us!

As a Specialist Solutions Architect, you will continuously sharpen your knowledge around business processes optimization and will use your domain knowledge to help customers solve their most complex and strategic operational challenges through the use of AWS Business Applications.

Internally, you will be the voice of the customer. You will articulate customer needs by synthesizing your observations from customer engagements and market trends around business processes optimization to inform the roadmap of AWS features.

You will evangelize and educate about AWS applications and industry trends in the business optimization space using public speaking and content engagements like workshops, user group meetings, online videos, and conferences. In support of these activities you will lead the creation and sharing of best practices, technical content (e.g. white papers, blog posts), and reference architectures.

If you like talking about about the art of the possible, while challenging the impossible, come build the future with us.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded professional and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we’re happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life—both in and outside of work.
