Support Domain Architect (SDA), AWS Enterprise Support, Strategic Industries
About the role
AWS Enterprise Support is looking for a Support Domain Architect (SDA) to join our Strategic Industries Premium Support Business Development team. You will operate at the intersection of deep technical consulting, pre-sales architecture, and plan for delivery excellence — building customer value propositions for Unified Operations (UOps), generating pipeline through customer relationships and Technical Field Community engagement, and serving as a domain CTO ensuring delivery excellence across your specialty.
You will perform technical consulting with customers (architecture design, modernization, migration, optimization), building trust and identifying support solution opportunities. You will partner with Business Development Managers to build pipeline, position deals, and provide technical expertise that unblocks customer conversations. You will serve as a domain CTO — calibrating Domain Specialist Engineers, setting quality standards for delivery artifacts, and ensuring customers realize value from the solutions we sell. You will contribute to industry and technology solution development, ideating and shipping new support offerings that address patterns observed across customer engagements.

- Maintain deep technical expertise in your domain (Security, Networking, Containers, Big Data/AI-ML, or SAP) through hands-on consulting: architecture design, migration, modernization, and optimization
