Enterprise Solutions Architect, Iberia Enterprise Solutions Architect TeamSolutions Architects (SAs) work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They are at the crossroads of business and technology and engage with organizations at all stages of cloud adoption. SAs create and present technical content and share best practices.
SAs are responsible for the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability, sustainability, and operational efficiency. They work to understand the customer's needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create solutions with AWS technology. SAs lead activities such as architecture reviews, white-boarding sessions, demos, and technical workshops. They collaborate with other teams such as account management, professional services, support, product teams, and the AWS partner ecosystem.
SAs are technical leaders who combine business acumen with technical skills to architect solutions to complex problems where business objectives may be defined but technology strategy and technical solution design are not. They influence their customer or partner's longer-term technology strategy, applying judgment and experience when advising customers on short- and long-term implications of trade-offs. They are trusted advisors to and understand their customers or partner's business, its needs, its technology challenges, and its industry; also, they build and own relationships with senior leaders ensuring short-term technology decisions will meet long-term business outcomes. They drive technical solution discussions and are able to dive deeply into technical details with customer teams. They are integral to progressing opportunities through their lifecycle. They work with limited guidance to lead and own the design of end-to-end customer solutions and shepherd those solutions through a customer's implementation cycle. They also lead internal teams to deliver solutions that delight customers and result in measurable business impact.
SAs often find opportunities to contribute on shifting delivered solutions into reference designs or reusable artifacts and share best practices by leading and owning the development, delivery, review, and maintenance of technical content that educates customers on technology strategy and best practices.
SAs speak at events with significant educational impact for technical and business audiences. They proactively identify gaps in our products and services and distill and translate feedback into clear business and technical requirements for product and engineering teams. They own the root cause resolution of complex problems (both internal and external) and contribute to their organization's strategic planning, helping to identify gaps and opportunities. They actively recruit and develop others; leveraging their experience to train teammates on how to best design technical solutions for customers.
