ALLIANCE SOLUTION ENGINEER, AWS (Pre-Sales Engineer)
Location: VML Office US
Focus: Technical Pre-Sales & Co-Sell Support
Region: North America
The Opportunity
VML Enterprise Solutions is expanding our technical pre-sales capability to support AWS alliance-powered growth in North America. We're seeking a hands-on technical expert to prove the value of our joint AWS solutions—delivering demos that wow, POCs that convert, and reference architectures that accelerate pursuits.
This role bridges AWS technology and VML delivery, providing co-sell technical support that removes doubt, proves feasibility, and gives clients confidence that VML can deliver. You will work alongside Alliance Sales and Alliance Solution Leads to support pursuits with technical depth, proof-of-concept delivery, and client-facing credibility.
Your POCs become production systems. Your architectures become blueprints for transformation. Your technical credibility tips competitive pursuits in VML's favor.
Role Summary
This is a technical pre-sales role focused on enabling AWS co-sell success. You provide hands-on technical support for AWS-related pursuits across North America—building reference architectures, delivering client-facing demos, and leading POC engagements that prove VML's delivery capability.
Accountability Model: Delivery metrics. Success is measured by POCs delivered, POC-to-production conversion rate, reference architectures created, and technical win rate on supported pursuits.
Core Responsibilities
1. Co-Sell Technical Support (50%)
2. Reference Architecture Buildout (30%)
3. Enablement & Knowledge Sharing (20%)
Technical Focus Areas
Team Leadership & Management
Accountability: Accountable for individual technical contribution. Mentorship and knowledge sharing expected but not primary measure of success.
Leadership Expectations: Train and mentor delivery teams on partner technologies. Share best practices and technical standards across the organization. Coordinate with partner technical resources on joint solutions.
Management Scope: Individual contributor; may mentor junior engineers and coordinate with partner technical resources.

Qualifications
Required
Preferred
Role Positioning
This is a technical expert role that enables co-sell success—not a quota-carrying seller, alliance relationship manager, or post-sale delivery engineer.
You will be in the room for technical deep-dives with AWS SAs and client architects. You will build the POCs that prove we can deliver on AWS. You will create the architectures that become client solutions. And you will be the technical credibility that tips competitive AWS pursuits in VML's favor.
Your technical excellence directly enables AWS alliance revenue growth.
