Partner Solutions Architect, Storage

Job description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Solutions Architect to build successful technical partnerships with our top storage partners. This is a highly technical position for someone who can dive deep, build cloud-optimized architectures, develop a strategy with AWS business development teams, and influence our product roadmap by working closely with AWS engineering teams.

The ideal candidate is as comfortable "solutioneering" with a roomful of peers as they are briefing an executive audience. You will get the opportunity to work with a wide array of APN Technology and Consulting Partners, from well-established tech giants to innovative startups born in the cloud. You will also have the opportunity to build your cloud brand, leaving your mark with whitepapers, webinars, event presence, and innovative new patents for what could potentially be a future AWS product or feature.

Candidates should be a domain expert, and have a broad and deep set of skills that can be leveraged. Experience working directly with customers is required, and prior experience working with partner communities is a plus. Previous AWS experience is preferred but not required. Strong public speaking and writing skills are required. This position can be located in Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, or New York.
