Job Description

Are you interested in helping customers drive their business forward by upgrading their applications from Mainframes to AWS? Do you have the business acumen, technical expertise, and sales background needed to guide customers in understanding the benefits of these projects, position AI and Gen AI solutions to enhance business outcomes, and instill confidence in moving forward with them?


AWS is in search of a Solution Architect to collaborate closely with sales leaders, account teams, Partners, and Professional Services. The Mainframe Application Modernization team at WWSO positions AWS as the optimal platform for hosting Mainframe workloads. Our team supports customers in migrating Mainframe Applications and data to the AWS cloud, providing a secure, reliable, and scalable environment for customers to innovate and realize new possibilities.


You collaborate with technical and business teams across AWS, integrating customer feedback into our product development roadmap. The WW team focuses on the big picture, laying out strategies for the most customer-centric technical teams to make a mark in history.


The Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) operates within AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS), driving revenue, adoption, and growth across various customer segments. We tackle complex and critical challenges faced by our customers to develop go-to-market strategies that transform innovative ideas into successful ventures.


Why AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) stands as the world's leading and widely adopted cloud platform. We were pioneers in cloud computing and continue to innovate, earning the trust of startups and Global 500 companies alike with our comprehensive range of products and services.


Work/Life Balance

We believe in achieving a harmonious work-life integration. Success at work should not mean sacrificing personal well-being, which is why we promote flexibility as an integral part of our work culture. When supported both professionally and personally, there are no limits to what we can achieve in the cloud.


Inclusive Team Culture

At AWS, we have a culture of continuous learning and curiosity. Our employee-led affinity groups promote inclusivity, empowering us to embrace and celebrate our differences. Through events and programs such as Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon, we are inspired to embrace our individuality endlessly.


Mentorship and Career Growth

We are dedicated to elevating our performance standards to become the top employer globally. You will have access to a wealth of knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and career development resources aimed at nurturing you into a well-rounded professional.


Key job responsibilities

  • Represent the customer's voice, conveying feedback to product teams to shape feature development and future product roadmap.
  • Provide advanced technical expertise to GTM teams aligned with your domain to address customers' major business challenges effectively.
  • Serve as a thought leader by sharing best practices through various mediums such as AWS blogs, whitepapers, and speaking engagements at events like AWS Summit and AWS re: Invent.
  • Collaborate with Business Development teams to define the technical aspects of leading GTM concepts, solutions, and endeavors.
  • Establish and support a global community of technical subject matter experts within AWS, creating enablement materials for SA professionals to integrate AWS solutions into customer architectures.


A day in the life

As a Mainframe Specialist Solutions Architect at AWS, you will cultivate technical relationships with customers of all sizes, crafting solutions to expedite their journey to the cloud. Operating as their trusted advisor, you will ensure they maximize the benefits of the cloud throughout their progression, engaging with senior leaders and technical stakeholders to drive enhanced agility and substantial business value.


You will oversee the technical relationship between AWS and our clients, offering insights on security, cost efficiency, performance optimization, reliability, and operational efficiency to accelerate large-scale Migration projects. Internally, you will represent the customer's interests, influencing the development of AWS features. Externally, in your role as a Mainframe Migration Specialist Solutions Architect, you will collaborate with large enterprises, aiding them in leading migration readiness assessments and crafting migration and modernization strategies.


About the team

WWSO consists of business development, specialist, and technical solutions architecture professionals. As a part of WWSO, you will provide expertise throughout the lifecycle of an AWS customer project, from conceiving new services to boosting the adoption of established businesses.
