About the Role
AWS Solutions Architects are trusted advisors to our customers, helping them solve some of their largest business challenges by designing and advising on some of the most scalable, flexible, and resilient solutions in the world.

Customers are looking for strategic partners to help them thrive in a rapidly changing business context.

Most importantly, as a Trusted Advisor, you will provide customers with technical insight, technology roadmap, and right technical choices to transform IT in a rapidly changing environment.

• Drive technical solutions discussions with your customers, diving deep into the details to solve complex technical challenges and craft scalable, flexible, and resilient cloud architectures.
