Sr. Analytics Specialist Sa, Solutions Architecture

Amazon Amazon · Big Tech · TPE, Taiwan +1 · Solutions Architect

This role focuses on designing and implementing cloud-based analytics solutions on AWS, including data warehousing, data lakes, and real-time analytics. The specialist will help customers build data foundations for advanced analytics, ML, and AI, bridging data engineering and data science to enable feature engineering, experimentation, and model training data pipelines at scale.

What you'd actually do

  1. Provide deep technical expertise for customer engagements involving AWS analytics services, including Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon OpenSearch, Amazon QuickSight, and the broader data ecosystem.
  2. Help customers design and implement modern data platform architectures — including centralized data lakes, data mesh patterns, data products, metadata management, and data governance frameworks that enable self-service analytics across the organization.
  3. Bridge the gap between data engineering and data science teams, designing architectures that enable efficient feature engineering, experimentation, model training data pipelines, and analytical workloads at scale.
  4. Design and deploy scalable, high-performance data warehousing, data lake, and real-time analytics solutions tailored to customer business requirements.
  5. Create enablement materials for the broader SA population to help them understand how to integrate AWS analytics solutions into customer architectures.
