Responsibilities

As a Solutions Architect at AWS, your work spans customer-facing technical strategy and hands-on cloud design. Each day brings a mix of architecture reviews, customer meetings, and collaborative building sessions that directly shape how enterprise organizations adopt and benefit from the cloud.

• Design scalable, secure cloud architectures to support migration, modernisation, and cloud-native and AI-driven solutions
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor, helping customers identify opportunities and risks in their technical decisions while anticipating evolving needs
• Translate customer requirements into technical solutions, communicating complex concepts clearly to both technical and business stakeholders
• Develop and deliver technical content including workshops, prototypes, and presentations, and speak at events to accelerate technology adoption
• Lead whiteboarding sessions, technical discussions, and proof-of-concept activities to guide customer decision-making and drive innovation
• Contribute to organizational growth by providing product feedback to AWS engineering teams, participating in recruiting, and mentoring teammates
• Stay current with evolving technologies and continuously apply new learnings to help customers move forward with confidence

Requirements / Skills

The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation in cloud architecture alongside the communication skills to engage effectively with enterprise stakeholders at all levels.

• 3+ years of experience in specific technology domains such as software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, or data & analytics
• Experience understanding business and end-customer needs and translating them into appropriate technical solutions
