Amazon Web Services is looking for a highly motivated Solutions Architect to help accelerate our growing business as part of the AWS Product Acceleration program. This program is centered around helping AWS customers bring their new idea to market using modern cloud-native architectures and AI-powered solutions.

Strong public speaking and writing skills are required. In this role, candidates will also have the opportunity to write white papers, deliver technical webinars, and speak at events.

Our company credo: 'Work hard. Have fun. Make history.' It's critical to love what you do and take pride in your value proposition to our customers.
