Solutions Architect, Amazon

• 3+ years of design, implementation, or consulting in applications and infrastructures experience
• 5+ years of specific technology domain areas (e.g. software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics) experience

Desirable

• We are looking for technical builders who love the idea of working with early stage startups to help them as they grow
• In this role, you’ll work directly with a variety of interesting customers and help them make the best (and sometimes the most pragmatic) technical decisions along the way
• You’ll have a chance to build enduring relationships with these companies and establish yourself as a trusted advisor
• This Solutions Architecture role is part of a team working exclusively with established startups looking to build net new workloads on AWS and/or migrate established production workloads onto AWS
• Thus while prior experience on AWS is a plus, prior experience with on-premise builds or architecting on other platforms is also a valuble skillset for this role
• As well as spending time working directly with customers, you’ll also get plenty of time to “sharpen the saw” and keep your skills fresh
• We have more than 175 services across a range of different categories and it’s important that we can help startups take advantages of the right ones
• You’ll also play an important role as an advocate with our product teams to make sure we are building the right products and features for the startups you work with
• And for the customers you don’t get to work with on a 1:1 basis you’ll share knowledge more broadly by working on technical content and presenting at events
• The startup organization at AWS comprises of experts that are passionate about startups
• They engage with founders, venture capitalists, angel investors and work with technical, product and go-to-market teams at some of the most exciting companies on the planet
• The AWS Startup Solutions Architecture team is dedicated to working with these early stage startup companies as they build their businesses
• We’re here to make sure that they can deploy the best, most scalable, and most secure architectures possible – and that they spend as little time and money as possible doing so
