Wellington, Wellington
$181K - $185K (Glassdoor Est.)
DESCRIPTION
The AWS Public Sector team in New Zealand is looking for a Solutions Architect to work with customers in central government, local government, education, and state-owned enterprise. You will partner with government agencies and their technology partners to design, prototype, and implement cloud solutions that support improved services for New Zealanders.
This role focuses on helping our customers accelerate their cloud adoption journeys, from early workload assessments through to production-ready architectures. You will serve as a trusted technical advisor, working hard to understand our customer, and helping to select and design practical cloud solutions using AWS services.
Key job responsibilities
Design and review architectures for secure, resilient workloads operating in classified and protected environments

Advise customers on AWS security services, compliance frameworks (NZISM, NIST), and sovereign cloud patterns
Drive adoption of modern services including AI/ML, containers, serverless, and data analytics within secure boundaries
This is *not* a hands-on delivery role; it is advisory.

Build deep, trust-based relationships with technical and business leaders across agencies

Deliver technical presentations, workshops, and immersion days for both technical and non-technical audiences

Collaboration:
Work closely with account managers, partner SAs, professional services, and specialist teams to deliver end-to-end customer outcomes
Engage with AWS partners to support joint solution delivery
Contribute to the broader SA team through knowledge sharing, peer reviews, and community building
Provide technical input to opportunity qualification, pricing discussions, and proposal responses
