Description

The Worldwide Database Migration Specialist team positions AWS as the best place to migrate and modernize commercial and open-source databases. We help customers move off legacy Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, and other commercial engines to AWS-native databases — Aurora PostgreSQL/MySQL, RDS, and Amazon DSQL — using AWS DMS, Schema Conversion, and GenAI-powered migration tooling, accelerating some of the largest and most complex migrations in our portfolio. As a Sr. Specialist Solutions Architect on this team, you will lead deep, technical customer engagements on heterogeneous and homogeneous database migrations, and scale your expertise across the field through reference architectures, workshops, and enablement. This is a worldwide role supporting enterprise and strategic customers across all industries on their database migration and modernization initiatives.



Key job responsibilities
- Lead deep, technical customer engagements on heterogeneous and homogeneous database migrations (Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL) to AWS-native targets including Aurora, RDS, and Amazon DSQL, solving complex challenges where the strategy and design are not yet defined.
- Serve as a domain expert across the migration toolchain — AWS DMS, Schema Conversion, and popular GenAI-based migration and code-conversion tools.
- At times, get deep into the weeds of the migration's technical challenges — root-causing replication, performance, schema, and data-validation issues hands-on — to unblock stalled migrations and keep customer timelines on track.
- Build working prototypes, demos, and reusable artifacts for customer engagements using GenAI developer tools such as Kiro and Claude / Claude CLI to accelerate proofs of concept and demonstrate value hands-on.
- Represent the voice of the customer, bringing field feedback to service teams to influence the product roadmap.
- Provide advanced technical knowledge to GTM and account teams to unblock customers' most critical migration challenges, including senior-leadership escalations.
- Act as a thought leader through AWS blogs, whitepapers, reference architectures, workshops, and events such as AWS Summit and re:Invent.
- Create scalable field enablement for the broader SA population, and mentor and develop other Specialist SAs.
