Description
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Principal Solutions Architect to join our thriving technical community and growing public sector business in the UK. You would be part of a friendly and supportive team, working together to bring the latest in disruptive, cutting-edge cloud computing technologies to organisations serving the public.
As a Principal Solutions Architect in the National Security & Defence Team you will be supporting the UK’s most important National Security & Defence organisations to accelerate and scale innovation, reduce costs, drive efficiency and use cloud technology in support of their missions.
In this role, your creativity and strategic experience will support customers at an executive level to solve business challenges and drive change, with the opportunity to define or invent cloud-native reference architectures with the worldwide AWS Solutions Architect community.
You will lead in the creation and sharing of best practices, technical content and new reference architectures (e.g. white papers, code samples, blog posts) and evangelise 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 what many think impossible, come build the future with us.
Key job responsibilities
As a Principal Solutions Architect, you are a technical leader and strategic influencer for customers and the organization. You combine strong business acumen with deep technical skills to architect solutions to significantly complex problems. You excel at decomposing complex issues into straightforward, elegant solutions.
You operate in highly ambiguous environments where business objectives, opportunities, technology strategy, and solution design are undefined. You leverage your extensive experience, industry knowledge, and business context expertise to influence the long-term strategic direction of customers. You identify both immediate and future risks and constraints, and advise customers on the right trade-offs to meet their long-term goals.
You are a trusted advisor to senior customer leadership, building consensus and alignment across diverse teams to deliver impactful solutions. Your work results in measurable, long-term benefits to the customer's business. You are a thought leader, curating and delivering strategic technical content that educates the broader community.
Within the organization, you are a key influencer, contributing to strategic planning, identifying gaps and opportunities, and advocating for the development of critical future skills. You actively develop and mentor other Solutions Architects, ensuring the continued growth of the community.
