Sr. Solutions Architect, Media, Entertainment, Games & Sports; MEGS

Overview

The AWS Media, Entertainment, Games & Sports (MEGS) Solutions Architecture team, within AWS Industries, partners with the world's largest entertainment companies as embedded technical advisors and hands-on builders. We work across the full breadth of our customers' technology challenges from streaming infrastructure and distributed systems to data platforms, AI/ML, cloud-native development, and beyond, designing solutions at scale using AWS.

We are seeking a Sr. Solutions Architect to partner with one of the largest engineering organizations in entertainment, building direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming platforms, global ad technology, content distribution systems, and the cloud infrastructure that ties it all together. The workloads are wide-ranging: AI-driven personalization, media processing, big data pipelines, infrastructure automation, and generative AI. The ideal candidate brings hands-on distributed systems experience, deep fluency with cloud technology, and the learning agility to ramp quickly across diverse technology domains.

Attitude and aptitude matter more than exhaustive expertise and the role provides ample opportunity to learn and develop new skills.

• Customer Engagement:
  Work backwards from the customer to drive AWS adoption across use cases such as direct-to-consumer (DTC) streaming, ad technology, content distribution, and media processing workloads, building trusted relationships with senior leadership.
• Systems Architecture & Design:
  Advise customers on architectural decisions for cloud-based media solutions spanning distributed systems, data pipelines, personalization, and content delivery. Run technical workshops and deep-dives with engineering teams.
• Hands-On Development:
  Gather requirements, design solutions, and build working prototypes and proof-of-concepts using AWS services and partner offerings to accelerate projects. Use the latest AI developer tools to accelerate delivery and iterate rapidly.
• Generative AI & ML:
  Partner with the customer to identify and advance generative AI and machine learning use cases (such as personalization, content intelligence, operational automation), from initial exploration through production deployment.
• Best Practices & Thought Leadership:
  Develop and publish best practices, reference architectures, and technical guidance on AWS. Author whitepapers, blog posts, tutorials, and presentations. Participate in industry conferences and events to share knowledge with the broader community.
• Cross-Functional Coordination:
  Orchestrate AWS service teams, specialist SAs, and account resources to address customer needs. Drive customer feedback into AWS service team roadmaps, acting as the voice of media and entertainment customers.
