Developers and development teams are key influencers who steer organizational adoption of new technologies, services and platforms. The mission of the Developer Acceleration (DevAx) team is to help developers gain greater familiarity and confidence, building modern, cloud-native applications that take full advantage of AWS’s wide range of services. Through direct developer engagement, DevAx helps customers to address actual business problems and accelerated design, development and deployment of production quality cloud native application workloads.

As a DevAx Solution Architect (SA), you will help customers to innovate and scale, applying patterns and architectural best practices for developing and operating full-stack cloud-native workloads. You will collaborate with customers and peers, develop content and enable the wider community to harness the power of the AWS Cloud.

In this role, you will continuously sharpen and apply your expertise in programming languages, distributed systems, design patterns and the full software development life-cycle, to upskill developers and development teams on AWS cloud services, the third-party ecosystem and partner solutions.

As a trusted advisor with proven technical expertise developing full-stack solutions on AWS Cloud, you will share recommendations around system and application architectures, security and cost considerations, performance, reliability and operational efficiency to speed up the customer’s challenging, mission-critical projects.

Internally, you will be the voice of the customer. You will articulate customer needs by synthesizing your observations from customer engagements and market trends around custom-developed workloads to inform the roadmap of AWS service teams.

In this role, your creativity will link technology to tangible solutions, with the opportunity to define cloud-native reference architectures for a variety of use cases.

You will drive the creation and sharing of best practices, technical content and new reference architectures (e.g. white papers, code samples, blog posts) and evangelize and educate about AWS as a cloud development platform (e.g. through workshops, user groups, meetups, public speaking, online videos or conferences).

If you are keen to help AWS customers deliver the art of the possible, while challenging the impossible, come build the future with us.
