Solutions Architects work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They combine business and technology and engage with organizations at all stages of cloud adoption. Solutions Architects are responsible for creating and presenting technical content and sharing best practices.
Solutions Architects are responsible for the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability and operational efficiency. They work to understand the customers' needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create business value with AWS technology. Solutions Architects lead activities such as architecture reviews, whiteboarding sessions, demos and technical workshops. They collaborate with other teams such as account management, professional services, support, product teams and the AWS partner ecosystem.

As a Solutions Architect, you'll create innovative cloud solutions and showcase AWS capabilities to customers. You'll design cloud-native architectures and join a diverse team of technologists.
