Description
This role is within the UK organization and you would be working primarily with Financial Services customers across the UK, with a focus on Insurance.
Solutions Architects work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They are at the crossroads of business and technology and engage with organizations at all stages of cloud adoption. Solutions Architects also take a leading role in creating and presenting technical content and best practices.
Solutions Architects own the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability, and operational efficiency. They work to understand the customer's business needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create business value with technology. To do this they collaborate with other teams such as account management, professional services, support, product teams, and the AWS partner ecosystem.
In this role you will get to practice your creativity, linking technology to tangible solutions and educating AWS customers about the art of the possible within a diverse and evolving market. You will work closely with an Account Executive to help customers achieve their outcomes using AWS technology.
The Solutions Architecture team is a diverse group of technologists from a variety of backgrounds. Practical knowledge of the AWS platform is desired but not required, provided you have a sound technical foundation and a desire to learn.
You will have the support to grow your expertise in industry and technology areas of depth. Every day you will learn something new from your customers, your peers, and your own experiments.
At Amazon, you will be encouraged and rewarded for doing what is right for the long-term success of the customer. We value your passion to discover, invent, and build on behalf of customers.
Amazon has always been, and always will be, committed to diversity and inclusion. We seek builders from all backgrounds to join our teams, and we encourage our employees to bring their authentic, original, and best selves to work.
Key Job Responsibilities
As a Solutions Architect, you will:
- Work directly with customers to accelerate their projects and recommend best-practice architectures in line with their long-term business outcomes.
- Own the technical relationship with the customer and operate as their trusted advisor. The best interests of the customer will shape the guidance you provide.
- Share the voice of the customer to influence the roadmap of new features and services for the AWS platform.
- Create and capture best practices, technical content, and new reference architectures (e.g., white papers, code samples, blog posts).
- Evangelize and educate about AWS technology (e.g., workshops, user groups, meetups, public speaking, online videos, or conferences).
- Contribute to the growth of the Solutions Architecture organization by hiring, coaching, and mentoring others.
- Develop areas of depth in technical domains relevant to your interests and your customer's outcomes.
