Solutions Architect
AWS is looking for a Solutions Architect to support our Worldwide Public Sector (WWPS) Global Systems Integrators (GSIs) and shape opportunities for our government customers. This role is located in the DC area.

On our Global Systems Integrator team, you will provide exceptional technical design, architecture, and thought leadership while working with a world-class sales and business development team. You will lead efforts to capture and share best-practice knowledge with the AWS solution architect community and 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.

As a Solutions Architect, you will have the opportunity to help shape and deliver on a strategy to build broad use of Amazon's utility computing web services (e.g., Amazon Lambda, Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, and Amazon CloudFront) directly with our ecosystem of systems integrators, consulting and technology partners.

We're dedicated to supporting new team members. Our team has a broad mix of experience levels and Amazon tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.

You should apply to this role if you are passionate about: creating, building, educating, training, and designing cloud computing architectures, especially if it's for Defense Department customers. Our company credo: "Work hard. Have fun. Make history." It's critical to love what you do and take pride in your value proposition to our customers. Deep-dive technical discussions around design and the curiosity to keep your technical skills current while maintaining a pulse on industry trends.
