Key job responsibilities

• As a Solutions Architect, you will work directly with customers to accelerate their projects and recommend best-practice architectures in line with their long-term business outcomes.

• Evangelize and educate about AWS technology (e.g. workshops, user groups, meetups, public speaking, online videos or conferences).

To be successful in this role you need to be passionate about startups and cloud architectures. You are a builder with genuine curiosity about how technology can support your customers’ business models and objectives. You are a lifetime learner that develops areas of depth in technical domains relevant to your interests and your customer's outcomes. You are prepared to work in a fast-paced environment, where you will be positively challenged and consistently embrace the Amazon Culture.

The Solutions Architect team at AWS is responsible for helping customers successfully implement cloud technologies. In a typical week you will meet multiple customers and you will collaborate with them on designing and operating well-architected solutions. You will earn their trust and show them the art of the possible, educating them around the capabilities of AWS. Partnering with internal teams and experts, leveraging a deep knowledge of our tools and products, you’ll craft highly-scalable, flexible, and resilient cloud architectures that address our customers’ business problems. As part of our team, you’ll have the opportunity to continuously learn and innovate daily.
