Senior Solutions Architect , AWS Denmark & Iceland

This role is within the Danish FSI organization and you would be working with major banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions.

Solutions Architects work hand in hand with customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They are at the crossroads of business and technology and engage with organizations at all stages of cloud adoption. Solutions Architects are responsible for creating and presenting technical content and sharing best practices specific to the FSI industry.

Solutions Architects are responsible for the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability and operational efficiency. They work to understand the customer's needs and give prescriptive guidance on how FSI companies can create business value with AWS technology. Solutions Architects lead activities such as architecture reviews, white-boarding sessions, demos and technical workshops. They collaborate with other teams such as account management, professional services, support, product teams and the AWS partner ecosystem.

In this role you will have the opportunity to define or invent cloud-native reference architectures tailored for FSI use cases. The Solutions Architecture team includes professionals with deep knowledge of the FSI industry. Practical knowledge of the AWS platform is desired but not required, provided you have a sound technical foundation and a desire to learn.

You will have the support to grow your expertise in FSI-focused technology areas. Every day you will learn something new from your customers, your peers and your own experiments.

At Amazon you will be encouraged and rewarded for doing what is right for the long-term success of the customer. We value your passion to discover, invent and build on behalf of customers.
