Core tech: AWS cloud architecture.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Professional Services (ProServe) is looking for an experienced Senior Professional Services Cloud Architect to join our India team. As a key member of the strategic account team, you will lead technical sales engagements, shape solution architecture, and influence revenue throughout the sales cycle for some of the largest enterprises in Financial Services, Automotive and Manufacturing, and Retail.
You will act as a trusted technical advisor, helping customers accelerate their cloud adoption — from migration and modernization to cloud-native applications and emerging technologies such as generative AI and agentic AI. You will create and lead the solution design that delivers each customer's business outcomes. Working as the link between ProServe Account Executives (PAEs) and our Delivery teams, you will make sure proposed solutions are realistic, achievable, and make the best use of ProServe and our partners. We are expanding our teams targeting Financial Services, Automotive and Manufacturing, and Retail industry segments in India, and this is a compelling time to join and help shape how these customers build on AWS.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead cloud solution design during pre-sales engagements: run demonstrations, conduct initial scoping, and architect scalable, secure AWS solutions across Financial Services, Automotive and Manufacturing, and Retail enterprises.
- Design complex AWS solutions, estimates, and proposals that deliver customer business outcomes, defining project scope and technical approaches for Statements of Work using ProServe offerings and delivery kits.
- Lead technical discovery workshops, architecture design sessions, and proof-of-concept implementations while advising C-suite and senior technical stakeholders on cloud modernization, generative AI, and agentic AI strategies.
- Ensure smooth hand-offs to Delivery teams so that scope, architecture, and expected outcomes are fully understood at launch, and lead delivery of complex engagements as needed, including migrations, data and analytics, and application development.
- Share knowledge across the organization through mentoring, reusable artifacts, and contributions to ProServe best practices, and represent AWS ProServe at customer events and industry conferences across India.
A day in the life
You might start your morning reviewing architecture designs for a customer's cloud migration, then join a working session with their engineering team to refine a data warehousing solution. After lunch, you could lead a stakeholder review presenting progress and recommendations to senior executives. Later, you collaborate with partners and internal teams to scope a new engagement, before wrapping up by documenting reusable patterns from a recently completed project to share across the organization.
