As an AWS Architect (Hands-on & Pre-Sales), you will own solution architecture across the full lifecycle — from pre-sales and solutioning, to hands-on design, build guidance, and production rollout.
You will partner closely with sales, consulting, and delivery teams to translate business problems into secure, scalable AWS architectures, while staying close enough to the technology to ensure solutions are practical and buildable.
