Job description

DESCRIPTION

The world is getting smaller and moving faster. What helped companies become successful a decade ago does not work. Being agile, experimenting more and faster, pivoting, seizing market opportunities is now a matter of survival for startups and enterprises alike. AWS provides our customers with technology that unshackles them from traditional boxes & wires, offers them elastic and secure global infrastructure as well as higher-level services in all areas of technology, from DevOps and Containers to Connected Everything (IoT), to Mobile, to Gaming, to Data Lakes and Analytics (D&A), to Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML). This scale and abundance of technology, coupled with flexible pay-as-you-go model frees our customers' mental and financial capacity to focus on innovation. As a result, millions of customers use AWS every day and in Korea we see companies ranging from Samsung and LG Electronics, to Korean Air and Jeju Air, to Busan Metropolitan City and KAIST, to Seoul National University Hospital, to Sookmyung Women’s University and Yonsei University, to Nexon and Bluehole, to KakaoPay and KB Insurance, all benefiting from the transformative power of AWS public cloud. If you want to be part of this transformation and have relevant skills, please come join our team and let's cloudify the world! Opportunity like this comes once in a generation - don't watch the history unfold from the sidelines - join us to write it!
This role focuses on enabling our enterprise customers to rethink their relationship with technology from passive consumption of infrastructure and boxed software in fixed quantities to elastic everything and productivity-boosting higher-level abstractions. When our first cohort of enterprise customers such as Intuit, General Electric, and Samsung embraced AWS public cloud, they were able to bring new products to market faster, reach new markets sooner, experiment more, and stay more secure. Now, we see a large number of enterprises of all ages and sizes trying to replicate that success. They are interested in building new systems in the cloud but also in moving their existing core enterprise systems such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Analytics (Big Data) and Computational (HPC) clusters, data warehouses, and other "back office" systems. However, what many discover, is that they need help in order to properly apply cloud best practices to their specific environments. In order to best serve our customers and ensure their success, we are looking for technologists who have strong hands-on skills with enterprise technologies, passion for learning as well as for sharing their knowledge with others.
After joining our team, you will be provided with a ramp-up plan and a mentor to ensure you get off to a good start (see Basic Qualifications for more information). After that we will ask you to dive deeply into your customer's business and technology situations and help them identify which of their issues and goals can be best served by adopting AWS cloud. We will also ask you to enable the customers to be successful in their cloud adoption by answering their technical questions, removing technical blockers they encounter, delivering hands-on workshops, and providing architectural guidance. At AWS, Customer Obsession is in our DNA, so in order to be successful in this role, you will need to become a Trusted Advisor to our customers and to ensure that they are able to achieve their business objectives with the help of AWS cloud technology. Within first 12 months, you will have an opportunity to work with a variety of customers, present at the AWS Summits in Seoul and elsewhere in APAC, conduct internal training, and publish blogs and whitepapers. You will also have an opportunity to influence the direction of our products by providing actionable customer feedback to the service teams.
Todays enterprise customers are looking for strategic partners to help them thrive in rapidly changing business context. As an aspiring solutions architect, you will be given opportunities to influence enterprise customers' cloud journey right from the start. You will meet many customers from diverse industry such as finance, manufacturing, airline, telecommunication, and emerging enterprises and invited to discuss customer's most pressing needs. You will have a chance to influence architectural decisions to help customers adopt AWS cloud in more reliable and secure way at the same time bringing business value to customers. You will analyze, design, and build AWS solutions tailored to specific needs of enterprise workload and also have exciting opportunities to work with cross functional teams worldwide to accelerate AWS cloud adoption to enterprise customers. If you believe you are a high caliber for solving thought provoking problems and a great team player, you will be given tremendous opportunities to help enterprise customers to innovate and modernize their IT infrastructure and application environment. Most importantly, as a Trusted Advisor, you will provide customers with technical insight, technology roadmap, and right technical choices to transform enterprise IT in rapidly changing environment.
You will be part of a great team of very supportive people who will help you be successful, but also expect a lot of you. This role is not for everyone - we are looking for people with Builder mentality who are self-driven, willing to take Ownership of things and see them through, able to Earn Trust of our customers and their colleagues by consistently delivering on their commitments. We are looking for visionaries who start by Diving Deep on the specific business objectives of a customer, imagine the future on their behalf, then Invent a way of getting there, and finally Deliver Results with and on behalf of the customer. And, above all, we are looking for people who share our Customer Obsession.
If you want to be part of a once in a lifetime transformation in the IT industry and achieve more than you may think you are capable of - this is a perfect place for you! Come join us in transforming Korea!
