About the position

As a trusted customer advocate, the Sr. Solutions Architect (SA) for Data Lake & Analytics will influence data strategies for our largest global life sciences customers in a complex and multi-faceted environment. You will interface with both senior executive leaders and cloud architects on a daily basis to build relationships and enable them as cloud advocates. Your role will involve helping customers design advanced cloud-based solutions, implement cutting-edge technologies, adopt cloud best practice designs, and migrate existing enterprise workloads to the cloud. You will partner with various AWS teams to craft highly scalable, flexible, and resilient cloud architectures that maximize value and insights from diverse data assets. This position requires connecting technologies to measurable business value and thinking strategically about business challenges. You will articulate technical solutions to solve those problems. As part of the broader SA community, you will capture and share best practices with your peers, generate internal and external technical content, and participate in hiring activities to grow the community.

You will also work with AWS engineering and support teams to convey partner and customer needs and feedback as input to technology roadmaps, sharing real-world implementations and recommending new capabilities that would simplify adoption and drive greater value from the use of AWS cloud services.
