    Default job background
    Full time
    Description
    Are you passionate about helping Healthcare organizations in the Canadian Public Sector innovate and transform using cloud technology? Do you have both broad and deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure and application architectures, and experience of working in healthcare? Do you have a knack for helping customers to build a deep understanding of new technologies and paradigms, and the consultative and leadership skills to launch cloud-empowered projects on trajectories to success? Are you knowledgeable about security and compliance best practices for applications and their supporting infrastructure?


    Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for highly skilled and motivated Solution Architects to help accelerate our growing Public Sector Healthcare organizations in Canada.

    Organizations in this sector face challenges to improve and integrate the care provided to patients, with limited resources.

    You will be part of a dynamic and highly supportive team bringing the latest in disruptive, cutting-edge cloud computing technologies to public sector leaders who want to serve patients more effectively and focus more of their time and resources on their core organizational mission.

    Sales, Marketing and Global Services (SMGS)

    AWS Sales, Marketing, and Global Services (SMGS) 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.

    The AWS Global Support team interacts with leading companies and believes that world-class support is critical to customer success.

    AWS Support also partners with a global list of customers that are building mission-critical applications on top of AWS services.


    As a Healthcare Solution Architect within the broader AWS Public Sector team, you will have the opportunity to shape and deliver on strategy to build mind-share and broad usage of AWS' utility computing services (such as Amazon HealthLake, AWS Glue, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon RDS, Amazon Lex, Amazon API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon Comprehend Medical, etc.) within Public Sector Healthcare organizations and the surrounding organizations that support them.


    Your broad responsibilities will include:

    owning the technical engagement with those customers at all levels, removing technical account management barriers, defining implementation and transition architectures, contributing to RFI and RFP responses, and helping customers achieve success both in specific technical projects and their overall technology strategies that support their broader mission.

    To achieve those goals — and building on your broad background and technical breadth and depth in security, application architecture, and infrastructure — you will grow your expertise in all AWS technologies, and a deep understanding of how customer applications and services are best built and operated on the AWS cloud.

    The ideal candidate will...

    • Enjoy working with public sector customers and partners.
    • Have a passion for designing and guiding the build of cloud computing architectures for Canadian Public Sector Healthcare organizations to accelerate and scale innovation, reduce costs and drive efficiency, and for educating and enabling the people who work in and with them to do the same.
    • Have a strong understanding of Canada Public Sector Healthcare mandates, security, standards, and compliance for designing largescale cloud computing solutions.
    • Have a broad background working as an solutions architect, with plenty of handson experience. You will enjoy building and expanding your technical skills, to the point of being able to lead deep architecture discussions around systems and applications in the cloud.
    • Regularly draw on these skills to take part in and lead deepdive education and technology design exercises to create innovative, secure and robust solutions for Public Sector Healthcare organizations and the AWS partners who work with them, including systems integrators and ISVs. You will be happy to roll up your sleeves, get into the detail, possibly write demo / proof of concept code, and generally do what it takes to help customers achieve technical success on the AWS cloud.
    Key job responsibilities

    • Work closely with account management and business development counterparts to ensure customer success in building and migrating applications, software and services on the AWS cloud.
    • Closely collaborate with broader AWS account management teams, and support and promote AWS Partners in order to deliver maximum value to customers.
    • Assist solution providers working with Public Sector Healthcare organizations to define and implement technical and business strategies that will enable them to provide greater value for customers on the AWS platform.
    • Develop and deliver compelling presentations, discussions, product demos, sample solutions, blog posts, and whitepapers to drive awareness and adoption of AWS in Canada Public Sector Healthcare organizations.
    • Gain industry recognition and credibility as a regular attendee, panelist and keynote speaker at AWS and thirdparty technology conferences, trade shows and press events.
    • Capture and share best practice knowledge with the broader AWS Solution Architecture community, both in Canada and worldwide.
