Description

At AWS, we're seeking a North American Lead Principal Solutions Architect to drive digital transformation in the Energy sector. This role sits at the intersection of cloud technology and energy operations, working with organizations ranging from oil & gas to energy providers. The successful candidate will partner with energy companies to modernize their operational systems and processes, designing cloud architectures that address complex challenges in field assets and production facilities while leading technical strategy development for digital operations initiatives across the energy value chain.

Your expertise will be instrumental in helping energy companies transform their legacy operational systems into modern, cloud-based solutions that improve efficiency and reliability. Working closely with customers, you'll guide their journey from initial concept through implementation, enabling data-driven decision making and accelerating their sustainability initiatives across operations. This role requires a deep understanding of energy sector operations and challenges, combined with proven experience architecting enterprise-scale cloud solutions.

In partnership with the broader digital operations team, you will shape the technical strategy for energy operations solutions, taking customer-specific architectures and developing them into repeatable industry offerings. This requires thoughtful balance between immediate business needs and long-term technological sustainability. Your ability to build strong partnerships across AWS teams, ISVs, and GSIs will be critical for the success of the organization.

The position demands significant collaboration with energy company executives, technical leaders, AWS service teams, product managers, technology partners, and system integrators. You'll need to translate complex technical concepts for various audiences while maintaining strong executive relationships. Your business acumen and technical depth will be equally important as you help customers navigate their transformation journey.

We're seeking candidates who understand both the current state of energy operations and its future potential. This role offers the opportunity to influence the future of energy operations while working with leading companies globally. Your work will directly impact how energy companies leverage cloud technology to transform their operations and meet evolving industry challenges. The ideal candidate brings a unique combination of technical expertise and interpersonal skills, with demonstrated experience in building solutions that drive meaningful operational improvements in the energy sector.
