This is an excellent opportunity to join Amazon's world class technical teams, working with some of the best and brightest engineers, architects and technical managers while also developing your skills and furthering your career within one of the most innovative and progressive technology companies anywhere.

As a Solutions Architect at AWS you will work directly with customers. We are looking for individuals who are motivated by the opportunity to work backwards from these customers" needs and help them gain competitive edge using AWS. As an experienced technologist and key member of the Account team you will help influence customers" architectural choices across broad use cases involving security, compute, storage networking as well as advanced scenarios involving serverless, analytics, and AI/ML.

As a part of the role, you will provide exceptional technical design guidance and thought leadership. You will lead efforts to capture and share best-practice knowledge with the AWS solution architect community. You will also gain the opportunity to learn from, collaborate with, and educate some of the brightest technical minds in the industry today across the breadth of enterprise architecture.

Key job responsibilities

  • Work closely with IT and business stakeholders at BioPharma/Biotech and diagnostics organizations to understand their unique requirements and challenges.
  • Demonstrate a deep understanding of the customer"s business model, industry trends, and technical landscape.
  • Architect and design AI first, scalable, secure, and cost-effective AWS solutions that address the customer"s specific needs.
  • Guide the customer through the cloud migration process, ensuring a smooth transition and adoption of AWS services.
  • Collaborate with the customer"s technical teams to implement, configure, and optimize the AWS infrastructure.
  • Build strong technical relationships with customer counterparts to support their cloud adoption journey
  • Provide ongoing support and optimization recommendations to maximize the value of the customer"s AWS investment.
  • Share best practices, conduct training, and enable the customer"s team to independently manage the AWS environment.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest AWS services, features, and industry developments to recommend innovative solutions.

A day in the life

Your morning starts with a customer call - whiteboarding a cloud migration strategy for a global pharma company. Mid-morning, you"re building a Generative AI prototype that shows how a life sciences customer could accelerate drug discovery. After lunch, you join an architecture review with the account team, then lead a hands-on workshop walking a hospital system through HIPAA-compliant deployments on AWS. Between meetings, you"re sketching a reference architecture for a new ML pipeline, trading ideas with fellow SAs in Slack, and jotting down notes for a whitepaper. No two days look the same.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
