Job Description:
As an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Senior Solutions Architect
within the Strategic Accounts segment, you are responsible for
partnering with our most valuable customers to design cloud
architectures utilizing AWS services. In this role, you will help
our customers solve business challenges such as rapidly releasing
products/services to the market or building an elastic, scalable,
cost optimized application. You will engage with product owners to
influence product direction and help our customers tap into new
markets by utilizing AWS Services. You will also look for patterns
and trends that can be broadly applied across an industry segment
or a set of customers that can help accelerate innovation. Along
the way, you will get the opportunity to enhance your own body of
knowledge and have some fun. Our team works with the world's
largest cloud customer Amazon. Our skilled architects work with
smart, experienced, and innovative Amazon engineers who are willing
to tackle challenges at dizzying scales. Our team innovates working
side-by-side with Amazon engineers on projects such as generative
AI-powered expert shopping assistant (Rufus), live streaming NFL
Thursday Night Football (TNF) on Prime Video, or building
cloud-based clean room solutions for Amazon Advertising. In helping
Amazon innovate on AWS, our solution architects also engage with
AWS teams building services such as EC2, DynamoDB, and Bedrock, to
influence and shape the AWS roadmaps. Our architects then leverage
the experience, expertise, and lessons learned to write blog posts
and present at leading industry conferences such as reInvent. As a
core member of the account team, you will drive usage and adoption
across a specific customer. As a trusted customer advocate, you
will help organizations understand and implement advanced
cloud-based solutions, and how to migrate and scale existing
workloads in the cloud. You will have the opportunity to shape and
execute a strategy to build knowledge and broad use of AWS. You
will also need to be adept at interacting, communicating and
partnering with other teams within AWS such as services teams,
marketing, and professional services, as well as representing your
team to executive management. For this role, we are looking for
folks who have technical breadth complimented by technical depth in
one or two areas, business aptitude, and the ability to lead
in-depth technology discussions, articulating the business value of
the AWS platform and services. Strong communication and
interpersonal skills are required for engaging with Enterprise
Architects, Technical Architects, Cloud Architects, Directors, VP's
and CXOs. If you are excited about the prospect of using your cloud
architecture experience to assist our most valuable customers,
tackling challenging problems, have a hand in shaping the future of
cloud adoption, enhancing and growing your own skills, and having
fun, then we would love to hear from you. Amazon Web Services (AWS)
is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud
platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating
- that's why customers from the most successful startups to Global
500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to
power their businesses. AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you
do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the 8
description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is
just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes
alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.--
