Amazon Web Services is seeking a Storage Solutions Architect to support our US Federal customers.
At Amazon, we've been investing deeply in building the right solutions that allow customers to derive the most value from their storage infrastructure. The AWS US Federal Specialist Team is looking for a Storage Solutions Architect, who will be the Subject Matter Expert (SME) helping customers to design complex solutions. As part of the World Wide Public Sector team, you will work closely with US Federal customers to enable large-scale use cases and drive the adoption of advanced AWS services. You will interact with other Solution Architects in the field, providing guidance on their customer engagements, and you will develop white papers, blogs, reference implementations, and presentations to enable customers to fully leverage AWS.
Our Specialist Solutions Architects are regarded as technical “thought leaders” within the Storage Community who evangelize emerging technologies not only on a conceptual level, but also on a practical, architectural level. Our SA’s play a critical role in the widespread adoption and advancement of cloud computing capabilities within the Storage Community. They think outside of the box to deliver results and provide solutions that are cost-effective, mission-focused, and secure. On our team, you will work backwards from our customers to develop AWS storage solutions and migrate complex workloads to the AWS cloud.
