Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Database Specialist Solution Architect to join the India WWSO Specialists team and help customers modernize their database estates on AWS. In this role, you will be the hands-on technical expert who works directly with customers to plan, design, and execute database migrations - moving workloads from commercial databases like Oracle and SQL Server to AWS purpose-built databases including Amazon Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon RDS.

You will engage across the full migration lifecycle: from discovery and schema assessment through proof-of-concept validation and production cutover planning. This is a deeply technical, customer-facing role for someone who thrives on solving complex database challenges and enabling customers to achieve better performance, scalability, and cost efficiency on AWS.


Key job responsibilities
• Engage with customers to assess existing database environments, identify migration candidates, and recommend target AWS database services.
• Design database migration architectures using AWS DMS, Schema Conversion Tool (SCT), and native replication approaches.
• Conduct hands-on proof-of-concept engagements demonstrating performance, compatibility, and operational benefits of AWS databases.
• Provide technical guidance on schema conversion, stored procedure refactoring, and application compatibility for Oracle/SQL Server to Aurora/RDS/DynamoDB migrations.
• Develop migration runbooks, cutover plans, and rollback strategies for production database migrations.
• Support competitive technical evaluations against Oracle, SQL Server, and other cloud database offerings.
• Collaborate with Database Sales Specialists to qualify opportunities and accelerate deal closure through technical validation.
• Create and deliver technical workshops, immersion days, and enablement sessions for customers and partners.
• Contribute to the development of reusable migration tools, scripts, and best-practice documentation.
