Jersey City, NJ , +4

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Solutions Architect to build successful technical partnerships with our top storage partners. This is a highly technical position for someone who can dive deep, build cloud-optimized architectures, develop a strategy with AWS business development teams, and influence our product roadmap by working closely with AWS engineering teams.

You are as comfortable "solutioneering" with a roomful of peers as you are at briefing an executive audience. You will get the opportunity to work with a wide array of APN Technology and Consulting Partners, from well-established tech giants to innovative startups born in the cloud. You will also have the opportunity to build your cloud brand, leaving your mark with whitepapers, webinars, event presence, and innovative new patents for what could potentially be a future AWS product or feature.

You are a domain expert, and have a broad and deep set of skills that can be leveraged. Experience working directly with customers is required, and prior experience working with partner communities is a plus. Previous AWS experience is preferred but not required. Strong public speaking and writing skills are required. This position can be located in New York, New Jersey, Austin, Seattle, or San Francisco.

This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP). Specialists own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for their respective technology domains, providing the business and technical expertise to help our customers succeed. Partner teams own the strategy, recruiting, development, and growth of our key technology and consulting partners. Together they provide our customers with the expertise and scale needed to build innovative solutions for their most complex challenges.

Key job responsibilities
- As a key member of the sales team, ensure success of storage partners in helping them build solutions on the AWS platform
- Partner Solutions Architects help drive the technical relationship between customers and AWS through partners and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability and operational efficiency.
- Educate customers of all sizes on the value proposition of AWS, and participate in deep architectural discussions to ensure solutions are designed for successful deployment in the cloud
- Capture and share best-practice knowledge among the partner and AWS Solutions Architect community.
