You will be expected to achieve and maintain relevant AWS certifications, develop domain-specific expertise, and effectively communicate technical concepts to both technical and business audiences. As you progress, you’ll lead increasingly complex technical projects, shape cross-organizational technical strategies, and establish best practices in your domain.

• Leveraging comprehensive knowledge of AWS services, architectures, and best practices to guide technical decisions and strategic planning
• Bridging business requirements with technical solutions, facilitating engineering discussions and ensuring alignment with customer business outcomes
• Distilling customer needs into clear technical requirements and map them to business outcomes

• Contributing to technical documentation and define documentation standards
A day in the life
• Owning delivery of complex, outcome-based cloud and AI programs end to end, accountable for customer business outcomes, delivery quality and commercial performance
• Working with sales and solution architects before signature to shape scope, define measurable outcomes and acceptance criteria, and confirm what we commit to is deliverable
• Negotiating scope, milestones and trade-offs with customer executives, and managing fixed-price engagements through disciplined change control, earned-value tracking and margin protection
• Managing engagement revenue and financial health: forecasting revenue against milestones, maintaining an accurate estimate at completion, driving timely milestone acceptance and billing, and identifying expansion opportunities that grow the customer relationship
• Leading delivery teams that use AI across the lifecycle (requirements, design, code generation, testing and operations), and applying enough technical depth to challenge AI-generated output and make informed trade-offs on security, performance, scalability and cost
• Orchestrating mixed teams of AWS builders, AWS Partner Network partners and customer-selected integrators to a single quality bar, with clear accountability, consistent acceptance criteria and automated quality gates
• Driving customer-side change management and adoption, so the organization realizes the value of what we build
• Reporting progress to senior stakeholders in terms of business value delivered, and acting on leading indicators of risk (velocity, environment stability, partner quality, team health) before they become escalations
• Contributing reusable assets, patterns and AI-enabled delivery practices that make each engagement faster and more repeatable than the last
