Job description

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 & 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.

Key job responsibilities

• Partnering with enterprise Media and Entertainment customers to understand their business objectives, assess their current technology landscape, and architect cloud solutions that deliver real outcomes — in cost optimization, operational efficiency, security, reliability, and innovation.


• Building hands-on: prototypes, proofs of concept, reference architectures, and production-ready designs. You lead by doing, not just advising.


• Helping customers adopt and build with generative AI and machine learning — identifying high-value use cases, designing architectures for foundation models and intelligent applications, and guiding teams from experimentation to production.


• Acting as the customer's technical advocate inside AWS — translating field insights into clear, prioritized feedback that shapes the roadmap for AWS services and features.


• Creating and sharing technical content that scales your impact: workshops, blog posts, code samples, reference architectures, and public talks at meetups, user groups, and conferences.

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 broadcaster's engineering team design an IP-based live production workflow. In the afternoon you might review a colleague's 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.
