Description

Join the Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) Core Services and Accelerated Compute team as a Specialist Solutions Architect focusing on Global Financial Services (GFS) organizations!

The Worldwide Specialist Organization (WWSO) is part of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS), which is responsible for driving revenue, adoption, and growth from the largest and fastest growing small- and mid-market accounts to enterprise-level customers including public sector. We work backwards from our customer’s most complex and business critical problems to build and execute go-to- market plans that turn AWS ideas into multi-billion-dollar businesses.

WWSO teams include business development, specialist and technical solutions architecture. As part of WWSO, you'll provide expertise across the entire life cycle of an AWS customer initiative, from developing ideas for new services to accelerating the adoption of established businesses. We pride ourselves on thinking big, delivering exceptional results for our customers, and working across AWS as #OneTeam.

You will work with our most advanced and innovative financial services customers interested to implement and securely scale-up their GenAI strategy, optimize the cost performance of their quantitative trading algorithms, and advance scientific compute software on our accelerated compute instances to help them get the best price/performance, and scale-out possible. You will also work directly with financial services software vendors (ISVs) to enable them to deliver their software better on AWS to their customers. You will create the AWS reference architectures that our customers use to implement their projects. You will work directly with our services teams, internal partners, and external partners (like Intel, AMD, ARM and NVIDIA), and Annapurna Labs to make sure AWS is the best place to run these advanced workloads for our customers.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded professional and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we’re happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life—both in and outside of work.
