What your impact and success looks like

As an AWS Solutions Architect we expect your success and impact in the early stages of your career with us to look something like this:

Within 1 month:

Familiarisation with AWS Services: Understanding core AWS services, their functionalities, use cases, and how they integrate to form solutions. This includes services like EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM, VPC, Cognito, etc. You may also begin to explore specific services relevant to the company's projects.
Engagement with existing Architectures: Learning about the existing infrastructure, solutions, and architectures within the company. This involves understanding the current setup, potential pain points, and areas for improvement or optimization using AWS services.
Initial Solution Design or Recommendations: Participating in discussions or contributing ideas to initial solution designs or recommendations for upcoming projects. You might collaborate with the team to propose or refine architectural designs aligned with best practices and cost-efficiency on AWS.
Integration with the Engineering Teams: Actively engage with engineering teams to understand their workflows, challenges, and requirements regarding AWS services. This includes participating in meetings, providing guidance on AWS best practices, and fostering collaboration to ensure alignment between architectural decisions and development goals. Building relationships and effective communication with development teams can greatly facilitate the smooth integration of AWS services into their projects.
During this time, you'll likely focus on knowledge acquisition, understanding the company's systems, and gradually starting to apply your AWS expertise to contribute to ongoing or upcoming projects.

Within 3 months:

Embedding into a Development Team: Building on the engagement with the engineering teams, you will be Embedded into the Desktop Development team to support and architect AWS-based solutions.
Project Engagement: Take on more significant roles in ongoing projects, possibly leading smaller initiatives or components of larger projects. This involvement includes actively contributing to the architectural design, implementation, and optimization of AWS-based solutions.
Documentation and Best Practices: Begin documenting architectural decisions, best practices, and lessons learned. You might establish or contribute to internal knowledge repositories, creating guidelines and documentation that benefit the team and the organisation's future projects.

Within 6 months:

Project Ownership: Lead or significantly contribute to larger-scale projects, taking ownership of architectural designs, implementation strategies, and ensuring successful execution of AWS-based solutions.
Strategic Planning: Contribute to the long-term strategic planning for AWS adoption within the team. This might involve proposing roadmaps for future projects, assessing the impact of new AWS offerings on the product, and aligning technical strategies with overall business objectives.
Deepening AWS Expertise: Continue expanding your knowledge of AWS services, exploring more advanced features, and possibly obtaining certifications to validate your skills further. You might focus on specific domains or services based on the company's needs or upcoming projects.

We operate a Flexible Working Policy and there is no expectation around in-person attendance, beyond occasional ad-hoc project meetings in our Solihull or London offices.
