Senior Solutions Architect, AGS Tech Acceleration Solutions

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Solutions Architect team partners with customers to design and build some of the most scalable, flexible and resilient cloud architectures and solutions.
AWS Solution Architects on the Powertools team help customers develop well-architected serverless applications faster using the Powertools for AWS Lambda Opensource project. This role works closely with customers, developers, and the Opensource community to design and deploy serverless application workloads on the AWS Cloud.

Solution Architects translate best practices defined in the Serverless lens of the AWS well-architected framework into utilities that simplify the integration of best practices throughout the development lifecycle. As a trusted customer advocate, the Powertools Solution Architect promotes best practices that accelerate development of serverless applications.

As part of your role, you will develop and maintain the Powertools for AWS Lambda project, contributing to its codebase in Python, TypeScript, Java, or .NET. You will continuously improve and enhance the project’s features, performance, and usability based on customer feedback and industry trends. You will engage with customers to understand their serverless application requirements and provide guidance on implementing best practices using Powertools for AWS Lambda. You will contribute to the opensource community by participating in discussions, addressing issues, and reviewing pull requests related to the project. You will promote the adoption of Powertools for AWS Lambda by creating documentation, tutorials, workshops, or demos at customer events. You will mentor and guide developers and architects in implementing serverless best practices and leveraging Powertools for AWS Lambda effectively. You will participate in code reviews and provide feedback to ensure adherence to best practices and coding standards.

You will have the opportunity to shape a strategy to increase customer adoption of AWS Powertools for Lambda by influencing customers in the opensource community and mobilizing resources within AWS and our extensive partner network. Travel is mostly regional, and expected to be 15-20% with some international travel.
