　　Do you like helping customers implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve technical problems? Would you like to do this using the latest cloud computing technologies?

　　Are you familiar with security best practices for applications, servers, and networks? Do you enjoy creating technical content? Would you like to be part of a sales group, but have your opinion valued as a technical resource as part of planning and strategies?

　　Amazon Web Services is looking for a Solutions Architect to help accelerate our growing ISV partner business as part of the World Wide Public Sector practice.

Your broad responsibilities will include: owning the technical engagement and collaboration with AWS partners; defining implementation architectures, enabling other AWS teams on partner capabilities, developing a deep expertise in the AWS technologies as well as broad know-how around how applications and services are constructed using the AWS platform; and being a subject matter expert on security as it relates to customer applications and services.

　　As a Solutions Architect on our team, you will provide exceptional technical design and thought leadership while working with a world class sales and business development team. You will lead efforts to capture and share best-practice knowledge with the AWS solution architect community. You will gain the opportunity to learn from, collaborate with, and educate some of the brightest technical minds in the industry today across the breadth of enterprise architecture.
