Snr Solution Architect, MENAT Enterprise
Skills
About This Role
---------------
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to join our Commercial Sector Greenfield team in the UAE. You will work with customers in Financial Services, Retail, Travel & Hospitality, and Media who are at the earliest stages of their cloud journey — organizations that have yet to adopt AWS at scale, where everything is still to be built and the opportunity to shape their foundational cloud strategy from day one is real.
- This is a builder role.
- You will earn a seat at the table with customers who may have no prior AWS relationship, understand the business problems that justify a move to the cloud, and design the architecture that turns intent into a running first workload.
- You will bring deep expertise across cloud infrastructure, modern application development, data and analytics, and increasingly, generative AI and machine learning.
- But technical depth alone isn't enough — you will partner with customers to define their cloud strategy in the context of business outcomes, helping them accelerating time-to-market, unlocking new revenue streams, improving operational efficiency, and building the digital foundation for transformation.
- You will earn trust by demonstrating technical credibility and delivering tangible outcomes that move the business forward.
- You will be part of a collaborative, supportive team that values curiosity, ownership, and impact.
- We learn from each other, coach and develop each other, and build an environment where every voice is heard.
- Key job responsibilities
- Key job responsibilities
- As a Senior Solutions Architect, you will own the technical relationship with greenfield customers end-to-end.
- This means:
- Engaging net-new customers to understand their business drivers for cloud adoption, assess their existing on-premises or multi-cloud landscape, and architect a credible path to AWS — from landing zone design through first production workload and beyond.
- Building the technical case for AWS: competitive differentiators, total cost of ownership analyses, migration strategies, and proof-of-value engagements that turn skeptics into advocates.
- Building hands-on: prototypes, proofs of concept, migration runbooks, landing zone blueprints, and production-ready reference architectures. You lead by doing, not just advising.
- Helping customers envision and build with generative AI and machine learning — often as the catalyst that makes AWS the platform of choice by demonstrating what's uniquely possible with AWS AI/ML services.
- Partnering closely with Account Managers and Business Development to shape the go-to-market strategy for new accounts — you are the technical credibility that converts pipeline into adoption.
- Acting as the customer's technical advocate inside AWS — translating field insights from the greenfield frontier into clear, prioritized feedback that shapes the roadmap for AWS services and features.
- Creating and sharing technical content that scales your impact: workshops, immersion days, blog posts, code samples, reference architectures, and public talks at meetups, user groups, and conferences.
- You make the team stronger by mentoring fellow Solutions Architects — sharing what you know and helping others grow.
- A day in the life
- No two days look the same.
- You might spend the morning in a first-ever technical workshop with a financial services customer exploring whether to lift-and-shift their core banking platform or re-architect on AWS, then pivot to a hands-on proof of concept helping a retail customer experience Amazon Bedrock for the first time.
- In the afternoon you might build a landing zone design for a customer that just signed their Enterprise Agreement, draft a migration playbook for a hospitality company moving off a competitor cloud, or join a call with an AWS service team to advocate for a feature that would unblock a key deal.
- You balance depth with breadth, strategic thinking with hands-on execution, and the patience required to build trust from zero with the urgency of a team that moves fast.
