Solutions Architect , AGS - Saudi Arabia
About the role
We are hiring a Solutions Architect to work with Enterprise and Strategic customers in central Saudi Arabia, based in Riyadh. Saudi Arabia is one of the fastest-growing cloud markets in the Middle East, fuelled by Vision 2030 and ambitious national digital transformation programmes across government, healthcare, aviation, retail, and financial services. This role is central to AWS's growth strategy in the Kingdom - you will serve as a key technical advisor for a portfolio of enterprise customers, helping them modernise legacy platforms, adopt AI and cloud-native architectures, and accelerate their digital agendas.
Solutions Architects engage with customers to understand their business drivers, assess application portfolios, and design reliable, cost-effective cloud-native architectures. As a Solutions Architect, you will partner with Account Managers, Business Development representatives, Professional Services, Specialist SAs, and AWS Service Teams to create solutions that address business problems and accelerate the adoption of AWS services. You will also contribute to competitive displacement engagements, helping customers migrate workloads to AWS.
You should enjoy thinking strategically about business, products, and technical challenges. We are looking for candidates who are comfortable at the intersection of technology and business. The Solutions Architect is a technical role - you must be broadly competent across many areas of technology (Generative AI, Agentic AI, cloud infrastructure, security, DevOps, databases, application development, data analytics) and developing depth in at least 1-2 of those areas. On the business side, the ability to connect technology with measurable business value is critical for our customers' successful use of AWS. You will spend most of your day interacting with multiple customer stakeholders, including Directors, Architects, Developers, and Engineers.
