Solution Architect - Partner - Public Sector

Cape Town, South Africa

DESCRIPTION

The world is getting smaller and moving faster. What helped companies become successful a decade ago no longer works. Being agile, experimenting more and faster, pivoting, seizing market opportunities is now a matter of survival for startups and enterprises alike.

AWS customers are unshackling themselves from traditional boxes & wires by adopting secure elastic infrastructure, and higher-level services across all areas of technology, from DevOps and Containers to Server-less, Connected Everything (IoT), Mobile, Data Lakes and Analytics (D&A), Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML). Many of these customers can't do it on their own and are looking for quality professional services and consulting firms (aka systems integrators) to help them on their cloud transformation journey. As a result, thousands of AWS consulting partners build AWS solutions for their customers every day.
