Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

You'll own the technical design of AWS engagements end-to-end from pre-sales discovery through architecture, migration plan, and handoff to delivery. You're the person customers trust to make the calls that decide whether a project ships in 12 weeks or 12 months: workload placement, account structure, network topology, identity model, data boundaries.

This is an onsite role at our Beirut office, working alongside delivery, pre-sales, and the AWS Alliance team. Expect occasional travel to Riyadh and Abu Dhabi for customer workshops.

What you'll do

• Lead technical discovery with enterprise customers across MENA. Typical workloads: data platforms, GenAI applications on Amazon Bedrock, regulated workloads in AWS KSA and UAE regions, and migrations from on-prem or other clouds.
• Author Well-Architected reviews, MAP migration plans, and reference architectures that map directly to AWS funding programs (MAP, MAP Lite, POC funding, migration credits).
• Partner with our AWS Alliance Lead to qualify ACE opportunities, build co-sell briefs, and progress deals through APN.
• Own the architecture artifact in proposals diagrams, BoMs, cost models, security and compliance mapping (NCA ECC, SAMA CSF, ISO 27001, ISO 42001).
• Run technical workshops and PoCs, including GenAI workloads on Bedrock and Anthropic's Claude.
• Review designs across the delivery team and mentor mid-level engineers.
• Feed capability gaps and recurring patterns back into our engineering roadmap.

What you'll bring

• 6+ years building production systems on AWS, with at least 3 years in a customer-facing architect role (consulting, partner, or large enterprise IT).
• AWS Solutions Architect Professional certification, or evidence you can pass it within 30 days.
• Deep hands-on across: VPC design, IAM and Identity Center, Landing Zone / Control Tower, EKS or ECS, RDS / Aurora, S3 data lake patterns, CloudWatch and observability, and at least one of: Bedrock, SageMaker, or analytics stack (Glue / Athena / Redshift).
• Proven track record sizing and writing migration plans for workloads at $50K+/month run-rate.
• Strong written English. Arabic is a meaningful plus given our customer base.
• Pre-sales presence: you can run a discovery call, push back on bad assumptions, and close a whiteboard session with a clear next step.
