AWS services cover a wide range of technologies including operational security, infrastructure, DevOps, highly available software architectures, observability, machine learning and analytics. Our customer solutions usually involve many of these at once. AWS Solutions Architects are expected to have at least one technical areas of depth, but also need to be capable of leading discussions across most of these areas.

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren't focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we're happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life--both in and outside of work.



Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.
