Qualifications

• 8+ years of infrastructure architecture, database architecture and networking experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead deep, technical customer engagements on heterogeneous and homogeneous database migrations (Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL) to AWS-native targets including Aurora, RDS, and Amazon DSQL, solving complex challenges where the strategy and design are not yet defined.
• Serve as a domain expert across the migration toolchain — AWS DMS, Schema Conversion, and popular GenAI-based migration and code-conversion tools.
• At times, get deep into the weeds of the migration's technical challenges — root-causing replication, performance, schema, and data-validation issues hands-on — to unblock stalled migrations and keep customer timelines on track.
• Build working prototypes, demos, and reusable artifacts for customer engagements using GenAI developer tools such as Kiro and Claude / Claude CLI to accelerate proofs of concept and demonstrate value hands-on.
• Represent the voice of the customer, bringing field feedback to service teams to influence the product roadmap.
• Provide advanced technical knowledge to GTM and account teams to unblock customers' most critical migration challenges, including senior-leadership escalations.
• Act as a thought leader through AWS blogs, whitepapers, reference architectures, workshops, and events such as AWS Summit and re:Invent.
• Create scalable field enablement for the broader SA population, and mentor and develop other Specialist SAs.
