Solutions Architect, Software and Technology, Portugal Job ID: 3046734 | AWS EMEA SARL (Portugal Branch)
Solutions Architects (SAs) work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They are at the crossroads of business and technology and engage with organizations at all stages of cloud adoption. SAs create and present technical content and sharing best practices.
SAs are responsible for the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability, sustainability and operational efficiency. They work to understand the customer's needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create solutions with AWS technology. SAs lead activities such as architecture reviews, white-boarding sessions, demos and technical workshops. They collaborate with other teams such as account management, professional services, support, product teams and the AWS partner ecosystem.
SAs are technical leaders who combine business acumen with technical skills to architect solutions to complex problems where business objectives may be defined but technology strategy and technical solution design are not. They influence their customer or partners longer-term technology strategy; applying judgement and experience when advising customers on short- and long-term implications of tradeoffs. They are trusted advisors to and understand their customers or partners business, its needs, its technology challenges, and its industry; also, they build and own relationships with senior leaders ensuring short-term technology decisions will meet long-term business outcomes. They work with limited guidance to lead and own the design of end-to-end customer solutions and shepherd those solutions through a customers implementation cycle. SAs often find opportunities to contribute on shifting delivered solutions into reference designs or reusable artefacts and share best practices by leading and owning the development, delivery, review and maintenance of technical content that educates customers on technology strategy and best practices.
SAs speak at events with significant educational impact for technical and business audiences. They own the root cause resolution of complex problems (both internal and external) and contribute to their organizations strategic planning, helping to identify gaps and opportunities. Within the ISV (Software Companies) segment in particular, SAs work with large, complex, strategic customers. They work together with Account Managers (AMs) and Technical Account Managers (TAMs) shaping the strategy to achieve business and revenue goals, while ensuring that best, long-term customer interest is kept as the primary factor in the guidance SAs provide. As such, ISV SAs are expected to have strong technical credibility combined with a great deal of soft skills and business orientation.
SAs operate in an autonomous way and are able to identify new technology-based opportunities. They also play an integral role in developing top SA talent, participating in the hiring process, mentoring new members and contributing to initiatives that help scale the SA organization.
