Principal Specialist Solutions Architect, Media, Entertainment, Games & Sports

Are you passionate about the Media, Entertainment, Games, and Sports (MEGS) industries? Do you have a track record of designing technology platforms that create exceptional customer experiences? If so, we invite you to join the Amazon Web Services (AWS) MEGS Industry Specialist Solutions Architecture Team, where you'll help our customers and partners innovate and succeed in the cloud.

We are seeking a Solutions Architect with extensive expertise in Media & Entertainment (including Content Production, Media Supply Chain & Archive, Broadcast Modernisation, Direct-to-Consumer Streaming, and Monetisation), GameTech (game backend frameworks, game servers, and networking) and Stadiums (immersive customer experiences).

Working backwards from our customer business needs, you'll offer strategic advice to help unlock business value through technology. This role involves close collaboration with business development, account management, professional services, support, product teams, and the AWS partner ecosystem. You'll have the opportunity to apply your creativity, connecting innovative technologies to practical solutions while showcasing the possibilities AWS can deliver in a dynamic and ever-changing market.

The ideal candidate will be based in Saudi Arabia, possess extensive experience in the MEGS industry, and demonstrate a proven ability to work effectively with C-level executives. They should also excel in influencing decisions and showcasing strong thought leadership skills.

Key job responsibilities

  1. Collaborate with the broader Industry Specialist team to shape the strategic plan and drive cloud adoption.
  2. Design and deliver innovative technical solutions to engage and inspire customers and partners.
  3. Build technical credibility and trust during sales cycles, engaging directly with CTOs, CIOs, Chief Architects, and Senior Developers across the Gaming industry.
  4. Work with AWS service teams and partners to deploy, pilot, and scale MEGS focussed solutions, collaborating with sales enablement, regional business development, and account teams.
  5. Lead customer briefings, represent AWS MEGS at industry events, and advance thought leadership in gaming technology solutions.
  6. Educate customers on the benefits of AWS, engaging in in-depth architectural discussions to ensure their solutions are optimised for successful cloud deployment.
  7. Deliver training sessions, both one-to-one and group formats, to share knowledge with customers exploring or already using AWS.
  8. Capture and share best practices within the AWS Solutions Architect community to foster continuous learning and improvement.

A day in the life
As part of this team, you will collaborate with customers in the Computer Games industry, guiding them to maximise the value of the AWS Cloud. Solutions Architects sit at the intersection of business and technology, working with organisations at every stage of their cloud journey. You'll play a key role in developing relationships, designing technical solutions, sharing best practices, and presenting innovative ideas that help shape the future of the industry.
