Sobre

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´s 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
partner’s 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 drive technical
solution discussions and are able to dive deeply into technical details with
customer teams. They are integral to progressing opportunities through their
lifecycle. They work with limited guidance to lead and own the design of
end-to-end customer solutions and shepherd those solutions through a customer’s
implementation cycle. They also lead internal teams to deliver solutions that
delight customers and result in measurable business impact.
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 proactively identify gaps in our products and services
and distill and translate feedback into clear business and technical
requirements for product and engineering teams. They own the root cause
resolution of complex problems (both internal and external) and contribute to
their organization’s strategic planning, helping to identify gaps and
opportunities. They actively recruit and develop others; leveraging their
experience to train teammates on how to best design technical solutions for
customers.
Within the Software&Technology 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.
