Amazon is seeking a customer-facing Solutions Architect to support telecommunications businesses across the United Kingdom and wider AWS Telco Business Unit. The role requires strong experience designing and implementing cloud solutions, ideally with AWS services, telecommunications architectures, networking, security, databases, and large-scale distributed systems. Candidates should be able to understand complex customer requirements, develop secure and scalable technical architectures, lead workshops, create demonstrations and proofs of concept, and communicate effectively with both technical and senior business stakeholders. The successful candidate is expected to influence adoption of AWS, work collaboratively with sales and engineering teams, contribute to thought leadership, and travel to customer locations when required. Relevant cloud certifications and telco industry knowledge are advantageous.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company founded in 1994 and headquartered in Seattle. Its businesses include online retail, logistics, digital media, consumer devices, advertising, and Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the world's largest cloud-computing platforms. AWS provides infrastructure, databases, analytics, artificial intelligence, security, storage, networking, and industry-specific services to organisations of all sizes. Amazon operates in the United Kingdom through offices, fulfilment centres, technology teams, and customer-facing business units. The company is known for its customer-focused culture, emphasis on innovation, data-driven decision-making, and leadership principles such as ownership and delivering results. In this role, the AWS Telco Business Unit focuses on helping telecommunications providers modernise networks, improve operational efficiency, and develop new digital services using cloud technologies.
The United Kingdom offers strong opportunities in cloud computing, telecommunications, software, finance, consulting, cybersecurity, and engineering, particularly in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, Cambridge, and Reading. Work culture is generally professional, collaborative, and relatively informal, with increasing acceptance of hybrid and flexible working. Lifestyle varies from busy urban living to quieter coastal and rural communities, with excellent public transport, historic towns, diverse food, and extensive cultural activities. Living costs are highest in London and the southeast; salaries should be assessed against housing and commuting expenses. Non-UK nationals normally need permission to work, commonly through a Skilled Worker visa sponsored by an approved employer, subject to occupation, salary, and English-language requirements. Candidates should verify sponsorship eligibility for the specific vacancy. Relocation planning should cover accommodation, National Insurance, banking, healthcare registration, taxation, and moving costs.
