Description

AWS MENAT AGS Organisation is looking for a Specialised Solution Architect with an emphasis on media delivery - origination services, CDN, DRM and player technologies. The successful individual will work with our customers and prospects designing and delivering hybrid and cloud-based video solutions using the AWS Elemental portfolio of Media Services (AWS Elemental MediaLive, MediaConvert, MediaConnect, MediaStore, MediaTailor and IVS - Interactive Video Service)

In this role, your creativity will link technology to tangible solutions, with the opportunity to define or invent cloud-native reference architectures for a variety of use cases

Specialist Solutions Architects are thought leaders in AWS technology and industry trends. As such, you will participate in the creation and sharing of best practices, technical content and new reference architectures (e.g. white papers, code samples, blog posts) for video technology. You will evangelize and educate about AWS Elemental video technology and AWS Media Services (e.g., through workshops, user groups, meetups, public speaking, online videos or conferences).

If you can educate AWS customers about the art of the possible, while challenging the impossible, come build the future with us.

Key job responsibilities

Building next-generation architectures requires both a depth and breadth of understanding of the technical, operational and business challenges each Media & Entertainment (M&E) customer is facing. You will build technical relationships with customers of all sizes and operate as their trusted advisor, ensuring they get the most out of the cloud at every stage of their journey by making recommendations to accelerate their challenging, mission-critical projects. Internally, you will be the voice of the customer, sharing their needs and wants to inform the roadmap of features for the media service's portfolio.
