Solutions Architects (SAs) work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They are at the crossroads of business and technology and engage with organizations at all stages of cloud adoption.

SAs are responsible for the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS and make recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability, sustainability and operational efficiency. They work to understand the customer's needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create solutions with AWS technology.

SAs are technical leaders who combine business acumen with technical skills to architect solutions to complex problems where business objectives may be defined but technology strategy and technical solution design are not. They drive technical solution discussions and are able to dive deeply into technical details with customer teams.
