cloud-based solutions, implement leading-edge technologies, adopt cloud best
practice designs, and migrate existing enterprise workloads to the cloud. You
will partner with various AWS teams to craft highly scalable, flexible and
resilient cloud architectures that solve customer business problems, build
mindshare, and accelerate the adoption of AWS services. In collaboration with
the sales team, you will drive customer satisfaction and revenue growth across a
wide portfolio of technologies.

The ability to connect technologies to measurable business value is a critical
skill for the SA role. You should have a demonstrated ability to think
strategically about business challenges and articulate technical solutions to
solve those problems. As part of the broader SA community you will capture and
share best practices with your peers, generate internal and external technical
content, and participate in hiring activities to grow the community.
