Job description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to join our Commercial Sector Enterprise team in the UAE. You will work directly with customers in Media and Entertainment organizations navigating complex digital transformations where the technology strategy is not yet defined and the right path forward requires both technical depth and business judgment.

This is a builder role. You will go into customer environments understand their hardest problems and design solutions that work from whiteboard architecture through proof of concept to production. You will bring deep expertise across cloud infrastructure modern application development data and analytics and increasingly generative AI and machine learning. You will earn trust by shipping things that matter not by presenting slides.

You will be part of a collaborative supportive team that values curiosity ownership and impact. We learn from each other develop each other and build an environment where every voice is heard.

A day in the life

No two days look the same. You might spend the morning whiteboarding a cloud-based post-production architecture then pivot to a hands-on working session helping a broadcasters engineering team design an IP-based live production the afternoon you might review a colleagues streaming platform architecture proposal draft a blog post on a media supply chain pattern you discovered in the field or hop on a call with an AWS service team to advocate for a feature your customer needs. You balance depth with breadth strategic thinking with hands-on execution and customer urgency with long-term technical direction.
