The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (AWS ProServe) LATAM organization is looking for experienced Professional Services Cloud Architects. A Cloud Architect is responsible for partnering with ProServe leaders and client partners to dive deep into a customer’s business challenge in order to collaboratively propose and pre-qualify a particular set of business outcomes that would result from a formal ProServe engagement. Thereafter, the Cloud Architect remains meaningfully engaged with that customer, Amazon team and project/program to ensure high-value, predictable, and successful delivery.

AWS ProServe engage in a wide variety of projects for customers and partners, providing collective AWS customer experience, best practices, and obsessing about strong success for the Customer. Our team collaborates across the entire AWS organization to bring access to product, service, and training teams, to deliver the right solutions and drive feature innovations for our customers across all industries.

The Cloud Architect is not a pure consultant role, nor is it a pure selling role: it is an individual with a unique hybrid of AWS platform expertise and hands-on building, coupled with deep Enterprise Architecture knowledge with industry/business acumen, including a heavy dose of passion for continued knowledge acquisition and growth, obsession for customers, and their success using AWS that will align well with the desired outcomes to be produced.
