The candidate should also have a demonstrated ability to think structured about business, product, and technical challenges.
Key job responsibilities
You will manage the overall technical relationship between AWS and our customers, making recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability and operational efficiency to accelerate their challenging projects.

- 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.
If you can educate AWS customers about the art of the possible, while challenging the impossible, come build the future with us.
