Do you love to innovate on behalf of customers? Do you thrive on solving
challenges working with a diverse set of early stage startups building products
for a wide set of industries? Do you have a passion for thought leadership in
technology? We are looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to join the Startup
Solutions Architecture team, and it could be you!
As a Startup Solutions Architect focusing on early stage through Accelerator and
Incubator firms to later stage VC funded startups, you’ll work directly with
Accelerators/Incubator/VC partners and companies in their portfolio to drive the
technology behind their key business outcomes. Working with early-stage startups
that are still building an initial product or mid-stage startups that are
growing and scaling, you’ll get a chance to experience a breadth of technology
challenges like no other role.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Solutions Architects help shape the technology
decisions of our customers by guiding them in best practices, becoming a trusted
technical advisor, advocating for the customer’s needs internally and through
thought leadership in the industry via content creation and presentation
delivery. You will own the technical engagement and develop deep expertise in
AWS technologies as well as broad know-how around how applications and services
are constructed using the AWS platform.
For more than 11 years, Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) has been the world’s most
comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. AWS offers over 175 fully
featured services to millions of active customers around the world—including the
fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies.
Key job responsibilities
- Engage directly with startup customers to provide them with technical advisory
as they build their products in the cloud. Ensure that they are spending as
little time and money as possible doing so
- Create plans, in conjunction with other members of customer account teams, to
define how you will help your customers with their cloud needs
- Share your technical knowledge broadly by participating in select,
startup-focused, one-to-few and one-to-many sessions with larger groups of
customers
- Work with other teams at AWS (e.g. marketing, training) to contribute to the
creation of content that can be delivered to the broader startup community at
scale (e.g. on-line videos, and other digital content)
About the team
Diverse Experiences
AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the
qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates
to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path,
or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
Why AWS?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted
cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —
that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies
trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led
affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our
differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our
Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity)
conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and
other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded

Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the
expense of sacrifices at home, which is why flexible work hours and arrangements
are part of our culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home,
there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
