Intelligence Community agencies implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve technical problems? Would you like to do this using the latest cloud computing technologies? Do you have a knack for helping these groups understand application architectures and integration approaches, and the consultative and leadership skills to launch a project on a trajectory to success? Are you familiar with security best practices for applications, servers, and networks? Do you want to be part of the business development team helping to establish Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a leading technology platform? Would you like to be part of a sales group, but have your opinion valued as a technical resource as part of planning and strategies?Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for experienced and motivated technologists who align with our Leadership Principles and possess a unique balance of technical depth and strong interpersonal skills.
You will partner with customers, AWS Sales and several other AWS teams to craft highly scalable, flexible and resilient cloud architectures that address Intelligence Community customer business problems and accelerate the adoption of AWS services.
In collaboration with sales, you will drive revenue growth across a broad set of customers.
As a trusted customer advocate, the solutions architect will help organizations understand best practices around advanced cloud-based solutions, and how to migrate existing workloads to the cloud.
You will have the opportunity to help shape and execute a strategy to build mindshare and broad use of AWS within the Intelligence Community.
The ideal candidate must be self-motivated with a proven track record in software/technology sales or consulting.
The ability to connect technology with measurable business value is critical to a solutions architect.
You should also have a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, products, and technical challenges.
AWS Solutions Architects in many ways act as a keystone bringing together several distinct groups within AWS that support the Intelligence Community.
This is a high visibility role where you collaborate with, and influence, both external stakeholders (our government customers) and internal AWS teams like sales and platform engineering.
As a Solutions Architect on the NatSec team, you will serve as a trusted technical advisor to your customer(s) over the long haul - you are the face of Amazon to that customer and they will consult you regarding a broad variety of technical challenges which are not just complex, but mission-critical.
You can still get your hands dirty with building out products and solutions as much as you get to think big and provide high-level architecture, designs, and cloud enablement strategy that suit your customer's business and technical needs.
NatSec Solutions Architects are regarded as technical thought leaders within the Intelligence Community who evangelize emerging technologies not only on a conceptual level, but also on a practical, architectural level.
Our SA's have over the years played a critical role in the widespread adoption and advancement of cloud computing capabilities within the Intelligence Community.
They think outside of the box to deliver results to our customers and provide solutions that are cost-effective, time-saving, and secure.
As a NatSec SA, you'll solve problems at both the business and technical levels - you work backwards from our customers' requirements, envisioning new mechanisms and strategies we can leverage that would enable agencies to operate more efficiently and better execute on their goals.
Then, you figure out how to make the puzzle pieces fit together from the technical side and deliver the offering to the customer at scale.
Frequently, you will be responsible for mission-critical solutions with life-saving implications.
Sometimes, the best way to innovate around a customer pain point is to create a new product altogether.
This position offers you the unique opportunity to enhance existing service features and even create entirely new tools to adapt to our customers' requirements within the complex technical constraints of the cleared environment.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about the following- Be great fun to work with at AWS, we have a credo of Work hard.
Have fun.
Make history.
In this role, you will love what you do, and instinctively know how to make work fun.
You will be dynamic and creative, and willing to take on any challenge and make a big impact.
- Enjoy working with Intelligence Community customers.
You will have a passion for educating, training, designing, and building cloud solutions for a diverse and challenging set of Intelligence Community customers.
- Have a strong understanding of large scale computing solutions.
The ideal candidate will have past experience working as a systems or support engineer, and pre-sales experience.
You will enjoy keeping your existing technical skills honed and developing new ones, so you can make strong contributions to deep architecture discussions.
You will regularly take part in deep-dive education and design exercises to create world-class solutions built on AWS.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.
Key job responsibilities- In partnership with the sales team, formulate and execute a sales strategy to exceed revenue objectives through the adoption of AWS.
- As a key member of the business development and sales team, ensure success in building and migrating applications, software and services on the AWS platform.
- Educate customers of all sizes on the value proposition of AWS, and participate in deep architectural discussions to ensure solutions are designed for successful deployment in the cloud.
- Conduct one-to-few and one-to-many training sessions to transfer knowledge to customers considering or already using AWS.
- Capture and share best-practice knowledge amongst the AWS solutions architect community.
- Author or otherwise contribute to AWS customer-facing publications such as whitepapers and other reusable content.
- Build deep relationships with senior technical individuals within customers to enable them to be cloud advocates.
- Act as a technical liaison between customers, service engineering teams and support.
This position can have periods of up to 20% travel.
