Description
Do you enjoy helping customers solve technical problems? Would you like to be part of a team that redefines how Canadian healthcare approaches technology? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is leading a large technology paradigm shift, and you could be part of that excitement, building mind-share, establishing customer trust and nurturing AWS adoption. As a Senior Solutions Architect (SA) for our healthcare customers in the Canadian Prairies, you'll be at the centre of that transformation.

As an SA, you will own customer technical engagements, diving deep with them and being hands‑on with technology. You will work with customers to set up resilient, secure, high‑performing AWS solutions. The SA possesses technical and business acumen that enables engagement at all levels of an organization, plus the ability to dive deep and build optimally. You will therefore be comfortable presenting on complex software architectures to engineers but also explaining such concepts to non‑technical executives. You will author whitepapers and reference architectures that will be leveraged by the SA community, including our partners and customers. You will deliver technical webinars, speak at public events, and file patents for what could potentially be future features/products.

SAs within our team have experience working in the public sector space, building secure and compliant solutions. They also have strong communication skills and technical knowledge: able to impress customers at any level, from executive to developer. Public‑sector SAs are also expected to have thought‑leadership experience in the sector regarding business, products, and technical challenges. By nature, the SA is an influencer and leader: someone with whom customers are eager to engage.
