If so, we invite you to join the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Media, Entertainment, Games & Sports Industry Specialist Solutions Architecture Team, where you'll help our customers and partners innovate and succeed in the cloud.
Computer Games live at the intersection of technology and the arts, and with more than 2.5 billion people playing games every day, there's never been a more exciting time to make games. This role is to empower developers to create incredible, engaging, and successful games.

Your experience navigating these systems will enable you to provide strategic technical guidance to customers and partners, ensuring successful deployment and operation of game technologies on AWS.
As a Solutions Architect, you will own the technical relationship with AWS GameTech customers, providing expert guidance on security, cost optimisation, performance, reliability, and operational efficiency. By working backwards from their business needs, you'll offer strategic advice to help them 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 Computer Games 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.

- Deliver training sessions, both one-to-one and group formats, to share knowledge with customers exploring or already using AWS.
- 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.
- 10+ years of specific technology domain areas (e.g. software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics) experience
- Experience developing technology solutions and evangelising end-to-end technology roadmaps that guide IT transformations toward cloud computing
- Experience communicating across technical and non-technical audiences and at C-level, including training, workshops, publications
- Knowledge of distributed systems design and implementation or equivalent
