Snr Solution Architect, MENAT Enterprise – Amazon
Key job responsibilities
As a Senior Solutions Architect, you will own the technical relationship with greenfield customers end-to-end. This means:
•Engaging net-new customers to understand their business drivers for cloud adoption, assess their existing on-premises or multi-cloud landscape, and architect a credible path to AWS — from landing zone design through first production workload and beyond.
•Building the technical case for AWS: competitive differentiators, total cost of ownership analyses, migration strategies, and proof-of-value engagements that turn skeptics into advocates.
•Building hands-on: prototypes, proofs of concept, migration runbooks, landing zone blueprints, and production-ready reference architectures. You lead by doing, not just advising.
•Helping customers envision and build with generative AI and machine learning — often as the catalyst that makes AWS the platform of choice by demonstrating what’s uniquely possible with AWS AI/ML services.
•Partnering closely with Account Managers and Business Development to shape the go-to-market strategy for new accounts — you are the technical credibility that converts pipeline into adoption.
•Acting as the customer’s technical advocate inside AWS — translating field insights from the greenfield frontier into clear, prioritized feedback that shapes the roadmap for AWS services and features.
•Creating and sharing technical content that scales your impact: workshops, immersion days, blog posts, code samples, reference architectures, and public talks at meetups, user groups, and conferences.
•You make the team stronger by mentoring fellow Solutions Architects — sharing what you know and helping others grow.
A day in the life
No two days look the same. You might spend the morning in a first-ever technical workshop with a financial services customer exploring whether to lift-and-shift their core banking platform or re-architect on AWS, then pivot to a hands-on proof of concept helping a retail customer experience Amazon Bedrock for the first time. In the afternoon you might build a landing zone design for a customer that just signed their Enterprise Agreement, draft a migration playbook for a hospitality company moving off a competitor cloud, or join a call with an AWS service team to advocate for a feature that would unblock a key deal. You balance depth with breadth, strategic thinking with hands-on execution, and the patience required to build trust from zero with the urgency of a team that moves fast.
