Senior Worldwide Specialist Solutions Architect, Containers, Application Modernization
About the role
Containers now run some of the most demanding systems on AWS, from real-time payment processing to large-scale AI inference. As more companies move production workloads onto Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), AWS Fargate, and Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR), they face harder questions about scaling, cost, and security. They need architects who go deep. In this role you will help organizations worldwide answer those questions, and you will shape the container services they depend on. You will reach customers and partners primarily through scale: workshops, reusable content, and enablement that help many organizations at once. Through these motions you will work closely with customers and partners, learning their requirements firsthand and turning them into production-ready architectures. You will bring that real-world feedback and usage data to product teams to influence feature development and future roadmaps. As a strategic technical leader in the field, you will provide architectural guidance that accelerates partner engagements worldwide while guiding an internal community of container subject matter experts.
