Senior Solutions Architect, WWPS Migrations & Modernization
About the role
This role requires equal credibility recommending ODB@AWS (Exadata within AWS data centers) or Aurora/RDS based on what is right for the customer. You will collaborate with Sales Specialists to qualify opportunities, shape multi-year consumption forecasts, and drive closure. You are not a migration delivery engineer — you design the architecture and win the deal.
Responsibilities
- Assessing complex Oracle estates and delivering actionable migration architecture recommendations tailored to workload profile, licensing posture, and business constraints
- Designing target-state architectures across ODB@AWS, RDS for Oracle, Aurora PostgreSQL, and EC2 — including consolidation strategies (PDB/CDB multi-tenancy, pod-based density planning)
- Building and presenting TCO business cases that quantify cost savings and counter Oracle retention tactics (ULA traps, audit exposure, OCI positioning)
- Delivering technical workshops, immersion days, and executive architecture sessions to accelerate deal velocity
- Partnering with account teams, Professional Services, and SI partners to translate migration opportunities into pipeline and consumption forecasts
- Modeling projected consumption for Private Pricing Agreements (PPAs) and strategic commitments
- Mentoring and enabling field SA teams on Oracle migration positioning, licensing nuances, and competitive messaging
Requirements
8+ years of specific technology domain areas (e.g. software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics) experience

10+ years of IT development or implementation/consulting in the software or Internet industries experience
