Lead Solutions Architect

Roles and responsibilities

The Solutions Architects (SA) organization at Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a vibrant and diverse team dedicated to empowering customers in building scalable infrastructures and applications using AWS solutions. Our solutions architects are not only passionate technologists but also possess a unique blend of technical expertise and strong interpersonal skills. This combination allows them to engage effectively with clients and tailor solutions that meet diverse business needs.

As an SA intern, you will be immersed in a rich learning environment where you will receive comprehensive AWS technical training. This internship is an exceptional opportunity to dive into the world of cloud computing, enhancing your technical skills while also developing vital business acumen. Throughout your internship, you will refine your presentation delivery skills and gain insights into Amazon’s distinctive culture. The role offers a collaborative project environment, with opportunities for both individual and group projects. You will also work towards completing the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification, a valuable credential that demonstrates your foundational knowledge of AWS services.

This internship is based in Riyadh and is specifically open to Saudi Nationals, reflecting our commitment to fostering local talent. Amazon internships are designed to be full-time, typically requiring a commitment of 38 hours per week over a span of 12 consecutive weeks. The specific timelines may vary based on the location, providing flexibility to accommodate different schedules.

At AWS, we take pride in cultivating an inclusive team culture. We embrace our differences and are committed to enhancing our culture of inclusion. With ten employee-led affinity groups spanning over 40,000 employees in more than 190 chapters globally, we create a supportive network for all team members. Our innovative benefits offerings and ongoing learning experiences, such as the Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (focused on gender diversity), underscore our commitment to diversity and inclusion. These initiatives are further reinforced by Amazon’s Leadership Principles, which encourage team members to seek diverse perspectives, be curious, and earn trust.

Work-life harmony is another core value at AWS. We believe that the focus should not solely be on the number of hours spent at work or home, but rather on establishing a flow that energizes both aspects of life. Achieving the right balance between personal and professional commitments is essential for long-term happiness and fulfillment. We actively encourage our team members to discover their own equilibrium, ensuring that their work and personal lives enhance each other.

In summary, the Solutions Architects internship at AWS offers a unique blend of technical training, professional development, and a supportive, inclusive work environment, making it an excellent opportunity for aspiring cloud computing professionals.
