You will own customer technical engagements, diving deep with them and being hands-on with technology. You will work with customers to set up resilient, secure, high-performing AWS solutions. The SA possesses technical and business acumen that enables engagement at all levels of an organization, plus the ability to dive deep and build optimally. You will therefore be comfortable presenting on complex software architectures to engineers but also explaining such concepts to non-technical executives. You will author whitepapers and reference architectures that will be leveraged by the SA community, including our partners and customers. You will deliver technical webinars, speak at public events, and file patents for what could potentially be future features/products.Travel Requirements:- AWS training during the onboarding process can require travel to the USA for up to 5 consecutive days; this is typically in your first 3 months of Amazon employment
