A Day in the Life:
As a Solutions Architect, you'll help your customers successfully implement cloud technologies. You'll solve complex, technical challenges so your customers can focus on their business. This includes using your knowledge to craft scalable, flexible, and resilient cloud architectures. You'll take part in technical solutions discussions, diving deep into the details with customer teams.
Building relationships to understand our customers is key. As a trusted technical advisor, you'll use your interpersonal skills to influence a variety of stakeholders from technical teams to executives.

About the Team:
This role is within the New Zealand ISV team who work with some of New Zealand's most innovative and fast-moving B2B companies. We work with these businesses helping them find product market fit, scale-up and grow.
The team works with independent software vendors that export software products and solutions globally. SaaS is often a key part of the business model. This role is focused on enabling new customers to adopt AWS services into their products and solutions to help achieve their business outcomes. You will have the exciting opportunity to work cross-functionally, as you collaborate with internal stakeholders from sales, operations, partner, and marketing teams.
Why AWS:
