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.
