Specialist Solutions Architect - Developer Acceleration en Madrid

The mission of Developer Acceleration (DevAx) is to underline AWS as the preferred cloud platform for developers and development leadership, from companies of all sizes, on which to target modern applications.


As a Specialist Solutions Architect, you’ll innovate and scale 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 full power of the AWS Cloud.

In this role, you will continuously sharpen and leverage your expertise around programming languages, distributed systems, design patterns and the full software development lifecycle, leveraging this expertise to engage with developers and upskilling them 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 accelerate 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 features.


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).
