Description
AWS 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 consistent support.

This customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud.

Join us and help us grow.

We are hiring Enterprise Solutions Architects to work with top-tier Enterprise customers.

Solutions Architects engage with customers to understand their business drivers, assess application portfolios, and design reliable and cost-effective cloud-native architectures.

The Solutions Architect is a technical role - you must be broadly competent across many areas of technology (infrastructure, security, DevOps, databases, application development, data analytics, AI/ML) and deep in at least 2-3 of those areas.

On the business side, the ability to connect technology with measurable business value is critical for our customers’ successful use of AWS.

The Solutions Architect will spend most of their day interacting with several customer stakeholders, including Developers, Engineers, Directors, and CxOs.

- Capture and share best-practice knowledge amongst the AWS Solutions Architect community
