These professional services engagements will focus on customer solutions such as Data and Business intelligence, machine Learning and batch/real-time data processing.

• Help the customer to define and implement data architectures (Data Lake, Lake House, Data Mesh, etc). Engagements include short on-site projects proving the use of AWS Data services to support new distributed computing solutions that often span private cloud and public cloud services.
• Deliver on-site technical assessments with partners and customers. This includes participating in pre-sales visits, understanding customer requirements, creating packaged Data & Analytics service offerings.
• Engaging with the customer’s business and technology stakeholders to create a compelling vision of a data-driven enterprise in their environment. Create new artifacts that promotes code reuse.
• Collaborate with AWS field sales, pre-sales, training and support teams to help partners and customers learn and use AWS services such as Athena, Glue, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, Amazon EMR and Amazon Redshift.
• Since this is a customer facing role, you might be required to travel to client locations and deliver professional services when needed, up to 50%.

We work together with customer teams and the AWS Partner Network (APN) to execute enterprise cloud computing initiatives. Our team provides assistance through a collection of offerings which help customers achieve specific outcomes related to enterprise cloud adoption. We also deliver focused guidance through our global specialty practices, which cover a variety of solutions, technologies, and industries.

Diverse Experiences: AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job below, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
