About this role
Description
Are you passionate about helping organizations get the most out of cloud technology? Do you thrive on solving complex technical challenges and building trusted relationships with customers? Amazon Web Services (AWS) Enterprise Support is looking for an Enterprise Account Engineer to join our team and serve as a strategic technical advisor for our customers.
In this role, you will work directly with customers to understand their business goals, assess their cloud architectures, and guide them toward resilient, secure, and cost-effective solutions. You will anticipate technical challenges before they arise, lead operational strategy discussions with key decision makers, and drive measurable improvements across complex environments. Your ability to combine deep technical expertise with clear communication will help customers realize the full value of AWS services while you contribute to the growth of our engineering community.
Key job responsibilities
- Serve as a trusted technical advisor to assigned customer accounts, proactively identifying risks in their architectures and operations and recommending strategies to improve resilience, security, and performance.
- Lead operational readiness assessments and design reviews for planned events, driving scaling optimizations and mitigating potential issues before they impact the customer's business.
- Develop and deliver cloud architecture guidance across compute, storage, database, networking, security, and generative AI services, ensuring solutions align with best practices and long-term business objectives.
- Collaborate across customer business areas and internal AWS service teams to resolve complex technical challenges, advocate for customer requirements, and influence product roadmap priorities based on aggregated feedback.
- Mentor and coach fellow engineers, contribute to the professional development of the broader engineering community, and participate in hiring activities to help scale the organization.
A day in the life
Your morning might begin with a deep-dive review of a customer's operational metrics, identifying trends that warrant a proactive conversation with their engineering leadership. By midday, you could be leading an architecture review for an upcoming product launch, working alongside the customer's teams to stress-test their design and close any gaps. In the afternoon, you might collaborate with an AWS service team to champion a feature request on behalf of your customer, then wrap up by preparing a strategic recommendations document for an upcoming executive briefing.
