About The Position

WS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers
of all sizes to innovate and expand in the cloud. Our team empowers every
customer to grow by providing tailored service, unmatched technology, and
unwavering support. We dive deep to understand each customer's unique
challenges, then craft innovative solutions that accelerate their success. This
customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud. Join us
and help us grow.

Amazon Web Services is looking for a highly motivated Solutions Architect to
help accelerate customer adoption. This is an excellent opportunity to join
Amazon’s world class technical sales teams, working with some of the best and
brightest engineers, architects, and technical managers. You will also develop
your skills and further your career within one of the most innovative and
progressive technology companies anywhere.

As a Solutions Architect at AWS you will work directly with customers. We are
looking for individuals who are motivated by the opportunity to work backwards
from these customers' needs and help them gain competitive edge using AWS. As an
experienced technologist and key member of the Account team you will help
influence customers' architectural choices across broad use cases involving
security, compute, storage networking as well as advanced scenarios involving
serverless, analytics, and Generative AI.

As a part of the role, you will provide exceptional technical design guidance
and thought leadership. You will lead efforts to capture and share best-practice
knowledge with the AWS solution architect community. You will also gain the
opportunity to learn from, collaborate with, and educate some of the brightest
technical minds in the industry today across the breadth of enterprise
architecture.

A day in the life
AWS is looking for Solution Architects who have been builders themselves, share
a passion for cloud-native businesses and are excited to apply their expertise
working with customers. Hyper-scale growth is the new norm for many of these
organizations. The right candidate has the ability to anticipate challenges or
“look around corners”. A key success metric is to reduce or manage blockers by
applying your technical experience.

You will work alongside C-Level decision makers, technical leads, developers,
and infrastructure managers. You will also influence the future of the AWS
platform by driving the continued success of our customers, while learning new
cloud technologies. If you’re excited by engaging innovative thought leaders,
have a strong technical background, and are looking to grow your cloud
expertise, we want to hear from you.
