The Solutions Architect engages with customers to understand their business drivers, assess application portfolios, design secure, reliable and cost-effective cloud native architectures. As an Enterprise Solutions Architect, you will partner with customers, AWS Sales and other AWS teams to create solutions that address customer business problems and accelerate the adoption of AWS services. In collaboration with sales, you will drive revenue growth across a broad set of customers.

The ideal candidate must be self‑motivated with a proven track record in software/technology sales or consulting. You should also have a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, products, and technical challenges. We are looking for candidates who are comfortable at the intersection of technology and business. The Solutions Architect is a very technical role – you must be broadly competent across many areas of technology (infrastructure, security, devops, databases, application development, analytics) and deep in at least 2‑3 of those areas.

On the business side, the ability to connect technology with measurable business value is critical. The Solutions Architect will spend most of their day interacting with several customer stakeholders, including developers, team leads, engineering directors, and C‑Suite.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to help shape and deliver on a strategy to build mind share and broad use of AWS within large enterprises. Broad responsibilities will include: owning the technical engagement and ultimate success around specific implementation projects, working cross‑organizationally to facilitate widespread use and adoption of the AWS platform, and developing a deep expertise in the AWS technologies as well as broad know‑how around how applications and services are constructed using the AWS platform.

The ideal candidate will possess customer facing, grit and technology skills that will allow them to represent AWS well within the customer’s environment and drive discussions with senior personnel regarding trade‑offs, best practices, and risk mitigation. You should also have a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, product, and technical challenges.
