DESCRIPTION

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides companies of all sizes with an infrastructure web services platform in the cloud (“Cloud Computing”). With AWS you can requisition compute power, storage, and many other services – gaining access to a suite of elastic IT infrastructure services as your business demands them. AWS is the leading platform for designing and developing applications for the cloud and is growing rapidly with hundreds of thousands of companies in over 190 countries on the platform.

AWS’ growth is driving a rapid expansion of its world-wide sales team and the need for a Salesforce Solution Architect to join the Business Technology and Solutions team. This is a great opportunity for a Salesforce Solution Architect to work as a team member along with Program Manager, Technical Engineers and supporting team members to deliver the complete solution for the customer.

The successful candidate must be able to work directly with stakeholders to design highly usable, scalable, extensible, and maintainable Salesforce solutions and technologies. These technologies include--but are not necessarily limited to Salesforce.com products and APIs, Lightning, Skuid, Mobile Applications, Amazon Web Services, and integration/ETL technologies. A Solution Architect will be expected to maintain an ongoing comprehensive understanding of the cloud-computing ecosystem. They will be passionate about their work, self-motivated, detail oriented and have excellent problem solving abilities. They will deal with highly ambiguous problems, take responsibility for finding solutions, and will drive towards simple solutions to complex problems.
