At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we are seeking a Healthcare & Life Sciences (HCLS) Solutions Architect to join our HCLS organization within AWS Enterprise engaged accounts. In this role, you will help deliver our strategy for global HCLS customers and partners, working alongside some of the world's largest healthcare and life sciences companies to design cloud architectures that address their industry-specific business challenges and accelerate the adoption of AWS services.
As a Solutions Architect, you will help customers succeed using AWS technologies - linking technology with measurable business value for healthcare and life sciences organizations. You will bring technical depth and curiosity, with the ability to participate in architecture discussions and clearly communicate the value of the AWS platform to both technical and business audiences.
You will help design scalable, flexible, and resilient cloud architectures, assist customers in understanding best practices around cloud-based solutions, and support workload migration efforts. You will have the opportunity to build prototypes, contribute to cloud-native reference architectures, and explore use cases across Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Generative AI, Serverless and Container-based architectures, Analytics, and Security. You will collaborate with account management, professional services, support, product teams, and the AWS partner ecosystem to drive AWS adoption within your assigned customers.
As a Solutions Architect at AWS you will work directly with customers. We are looking for individuals who are motivated by the opportunity to work backwards from these customers' needs and help them gain competitive edge using AWS. As an experienced technologist and key member of the Account team you will help influence customers' architectural choices across broad use cases involving security, compute, storage networking as well as advanced scenarios involving serverless, analytics, and AI/ML.
As a part of the role, you will provide exceptional technical design guidance and thought leadership. You will lead efforts to capture and share best-practice knowledge with the AWS solution architect community. You will also gain the opportunity to learn from, collaborate with, and educate some of the brightest technical minds in the industry today across the breadth of enterprise architecture.

A day in the life
Your morning starts with a customer call - whiteboarding a cloud migration strategy for a global pharma company. Mid-morning, you're building a Generative AI prototype that shows how a life sciences customer could accelerate drug discovery. After lunch, you join an architecture review with the account team, then lead a hands-on workshop walking a hospital system through HIPAA-compliant deployments on AWS. Between meetings, you're sketching a reference architecture for a new ML pipeline, trading ideas with fellow SAs in Slack, and jotting down notes for a whitepaper. No two days look the same.
