Job Description

If you are passionate about improving the digital experiences for citizens by enabling digital transformation in the government, non-profit and education sectors through innovative application of cloud technologies, then please read on. Our public sector customers are transforming the way government services are developed and delivered via the AWS cloud. The Customer Innovation Center (CIC pronounced “kick”) team is looking for technology savvy cloud computing architects to collaborate with our public sector government, education, and non-profit customers as they implement innovative cloud computing solutions and solve new technical problems.

The core mission of the CIC is to improve digital experiences for students and citizens globally by providing an independent platform where government, education, and non-profits can accelerate their own implementation of replicable public sector cloud successes. The CIC does this by addressing specific digital transformation Innovation Challenges that are of critical importance to the public sector. The CIC is a vehicle to enable public sector customers to experience the Amazon innovation process and adapt it as needed to their unique situation.

A Innovation Challenge is any problem or opportunity that end customers deem significant in their community/domain and that relies at least partially on information technologies. Tangible problems such as optimizing utilization of police body camera data, tracking water quality, or sharing city transportation data are examples of potential Innovation Challenges. The Innovation Challenge can be thought of as a rapid product development lifecycle that identifies technology alternatives and may result in a prototype. Each Innovation Challenge is in itself a time-bound project that must be planned, marketed, and managed to completion.

The Solution Architect plays a critical role by infusing the latest cloud computing technologies, application architectures, and integration approaches into each Innovation Challenge. This includes incorporating AWS well-architected methods, resiliency best practices, and appropriate regulatory & compliance measures. You will work with representatives of customers and partners involved in Innovation Challenges as well as with technical resources across Amazon Web Services to ensure Innovation Challenges are properly focused and technology goals are achieved. An ability to adapt quickly to varied customers and work cooperatively with subject matter experts is essential.

In addition, the Solution Architect documents technical alternatives and the results of tests so that Innovation Challenge results can benefit AWS customers and inform future Innovation Challenges. He or she will have the opportunity to interface with other CICs in other geographies and include international AWS account teams, customers, and partners. This naturally will require a ‘think global, act local’ perspective in the approach taken to defining, contextualizing, prioritizing, and delivering results.

You will be one of three members of a dynamic CIC team bringing the latest in disruptive, cutting-edge cloud computing technologies to bear on the difficult cost and agility Innovation Challenges facing many public sector organizations. The other two members are a Digital Innovation Lead and a Program Manager.

Position is located in Singapore. Ability to travel frequently within Singapore. Travel requirement out of Country will be infrequent.

Core Responsibilities:
· Design Customer Solutions, own the technical engagement and ultimate success around specific Innovation Challenge projects; defining potential implementation architectures.
· Collaborate with AWS sales and support teams to help partners and customers learn and use AWS Services.
· Devise strategy­ and engage with Solution Architects, Account Managers Professional Services and Partners to define a technology approach to a customer business problem.
· Provide thought leadership on various Innovation Challenge-derived solutions that benefit customers through the use of AWS Services. This takes the form of contribution to external publications such as the AWS Big Data Blog, White papers and Reference architectures, as well as internal training of Solution Architects, Professional Services Consultants, Technical Account Managers, and AWS Partners.
· Create Assets which capture and share best-practice knowledge across the wider CIC and AWS solution architect community
