This role is within the UK organisation and you will be working with Enterprise Energy & Natural Resources customers.

Solutions Architects work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them achieve real business outcomes through cloud and AI adoption.

In this role you will get to practice your creativity, linking technology to tangible solutions and educating AWS customers about the art of the possible. You will have the opportunity to define or invent cloud-native reference architectures for a variety of use cases.
