Are you passionate about cloud technology and helping customers innovate? Join our AWS Solutions Architecture team in Sweden and empower large enterprises across industries to innovate at speed and scale with cloud technologies.
We are looking for a skilled, self-motivated technical leader to join a team of supportive, experienced professionals. As a Solutions Architect in the Public Sector team, you get to impact the lives of millions of citizens and help a variety of different customers - all the way from digital-native and government-linked companies to security-focused government agencies. Overall, the customers we work with include government agencies, state-owned companies, educational institutions, healthcare and non-profit organizations.
Our Public Sector teams help customers build a deeper understanding of hyper-scale cloud technology and application architectures, and they have the consultative skills required to drive successful outcomes.
Solutions Architects work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They are at the crossroads of business and technology and engage with organizations at all stages of cloud adoption. Solutions Architects also take a leading role in creating and presenting technical content and best practices.
Solutions Architects own the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability and operational efficiency. They work to understand the customer's business needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create business value with technology. To do this they collaborate with other teams such as account management, professional services, support, product teams and the AWS partner ecosystem.
In this role you will get to practice your creativity, linking technology to tangible solutions and educating AWS customers about the art of the possible. You will have the opportunity to define or invent cloud-native reference architectures for a variety of use cases. The Solutions Architecture team is a diverse group of technologists from a variety of backgrounds. Practical knowledge of the AWS platform is desired but not required, provided you have a sound technical foundation and a desire to learn.
You will have the support to grow your expertise in industry and technology areas of depth. Every day you will learn something new from your customers, your peers and your own experiments.
At Amazon you will be encouraged and rewarded for doing what is right for the long-term success of the customer. We value your passion to discover, invent and build on behalf of customers.
If you can educate AWS customers about the art of the possible, while investigating the impossible, come build the future with us.
