Startup Solutions Architect

Do you love startups? Are you passionate about cloud computing? We have an exciting position for you.

Startups are the large enterprises of tomorrow. These young companies are founded by ambitious individuals who want to change the world, build something meaningful, and challenge the status quo. Whether it's serving diverse customers or disrupting the ordinary, they typically operate in a resource‐constrained environment: be it capital, engineering resources, or experience. This is where you come in.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Startup Solutions Architecture team is dedicated to working with these emerging companies from inception through growth as they scale their businesses.

We're here to ensure they implement the best technology practices and architectures to build scalable, secure solutions with optimal cost efficiency and time‑to‑market.

We're looking for technical builders who are passionate about working with early‑stage startups to help them grow. In this role, you'll work directly with a variety of interesting customers and help them make the best technical decisions along their journey. You'll have the opportunity to build lasting relationships with these companies and become their trusted advisor and technical confidant.

Beyond working directly with customers, you'll also have plenty of time to 'sharpen the saw' and keep your skills current. We have hundreds of services across many different categories. You'll also play an important role as a representative to our product teams, ensuring we're building the right products for the startups you work with.

Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to share your knowledge by working on technical content and presenting at events.

Key job responsibilities

- Drive Technical Success: Partner directly with innovative startup customers as their trusted technical advisor, helping them build and scale their products in the cloud. You'll optimize their cloud architecture to ensure maximum efficiency in both cost and time‑to‑market.

- Shape Strategic Direction: Collaborate with cross‑functional team members to develop and execute comprehensive technical support strategies for your startup portfolio. You'll be instrumental in defining the path to success for tomorrow's tech leaders.

- Amplify Your Impact: Share your technical expertise through startup‑focused sessions, reaching and influencing a broader audience of builders and innovators. You'll have the platform to make a difference at scale.
