As a Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS), you will build technical relationships with customers of all sizes and operate as their trusted advisor, ensuring they get the most out of the cloud at every stage of their journey. The role will be based in Dubai and may require approximately 20% of your time for travel to other countries in the MENAT area for customer visits.

  • Evangelize and educate about AWS through 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 customers' outcomes.

A Day in the Life
You will work closely with account managers to help ISV customers accelerate their cloud implementation and modernize their business on AWS. By transforming existing workloads, you will design modern target architectures optimized for business agility, innovation, performance, resiliency, cost, security, and more using both native and partner solutions.

Our teams focus on understanding customers’ key business drivers and existing application architectures to deliver robust cloud architecture recommendations that can scale as their business requires.
