Job description

Overview

Do you like helping customers implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve technical problems? Do you bring technical foresight to design infrastructure, application, and data solutions that drive customer value? Do you take pride in your ability to communicate complex technical topics and influence decision makers? Amazon Web Services is looking for a highly motivated Solutions Architect to help accelerate customer cloud adoption in West Africa where you will be working with our Small/Medium Business (SMB) customers across all industries and tech domains.

This is an excellent opportunity to join Amazon's world class technical teams working with some of the best and brightest engineers and technical managers while also developing your skills and furthering your career within one of the most innovative and progressive technology companies anywhere.

As a Solutions Architect at AWS you’ll build technical relationships with customers and operate as their trusted advisor ensuring they get the most out of the cloud at every stage of their journey. You’ll manage the overall technical relationship between AWS and our customers, making recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability and operational efficiency to accelerate their projects. Internally you will be the voice of the customer, sharing their needs and wants to inform the roadmap of AWS features. In this role your creativity will link technology to tangible solutions with the opportunity to implement or document cloud-native reference architectures for a variety of use cases. You will work to understand the customers needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create business value with technology. Solution Architects lead activities such as architecture reviews, whiteboarding sessions, demos and technical workshops. They collaborate with other teams such as account management, professional services, support, product teams and the partner ecosystem. You will participate in the creation and sharing of best practices, technical content and new reference architectures (e.g. white papers, code samples, blog posts) and evangelize and educate about AWS technology (e.g. through workshops, user groups, meetups, public speaking, online videos or conferences).

If you can educate AWS customers about the art of the possible while challenging the impossible, come build the future with us.
