About The Position

Are you a customer-obsessed builder with deep expertise in enterprise migration
and modernization? Do you have the technical acumen and business savvy to help
customers successfully migrate their most critical workloads to AWS? Join the
Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) within the Automotive & Manufacturing
team as a Senior Migration & Modernization Specialist Solutions Architect—a
senior individual contributor role requiring deep technical expertise in
storage, application modernization, and infrastructure migration including data
center exits.

The Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) is part of AWS Sales, Marketing,
and Global Services (SMGS), responsible for driving revenue and accelerating
adoption across enterprise customers. We work backwards from our customers' most
complex migration challenges to develop and execute go-to-market plans that
transform legacy infrastructure into modern, cloud-native architectures. As part
of WWSO, you will contribute across the full lifecycle of AWS customer migration
initiatives—from initial assessment to post-migration optimization.

Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will translate customer infrastructure challenges into
comprehensive migration strategies leveraging AWS. You will define, design, and
execute large-scale migration architectures that accelerate adoption of AWS
services across storage, applications, and infrastructure domains. You will
engage with senior engineers, architects, infrastructure leaders, and executives
at strategic enterprise customers to influence migration decisions and provide
structured feedback to AWS product teams.

As the ideal candidate, you bring deep technical expertise in enterprise
migrations and the business acumen required to lead complex data center exit
programs with large enterprises. You have hands-on experience with storage
migration strategies, application modernization patterns, VMware migrations,
database migrations, and infrastructure-as-code approaches. You are able to
credibly advise senior technical and executive stakeholders on migration
trade-offs, risks, and long-term optimization strategies.
