AWS Professional Services (ProServe) is seeking a ProServe Cloud Architect (PCA) specializing in the professional sports and gaming vertical. You will engage directly with organizations such as the NBA, NFL, MLS, NHL, and sports gaming operators to design and deliver cloud solutions tailored to this industry.
As a PCA you operate as the conduit between ProServe Account Executives and Shared Delivery Teams (SDT), ensuring solutions are realistic, achievable, and maximize customer business outcomes (CBOs). You serve as a trusted advisor on industry trends, emerging technologies, and the regulatory landscape.
This is not a role for a sports fan. It requires a professional who understands how leagues operate as businesses: media rights economics, collective bargaining agreements, salary cap structures, franchise revenue models, multi jurisdictional gaming regulations, and how technology underpins live broadcast, fan engagement, and wagering operations. That business fluency, combined with cloud architecture expertise, is what makes this role distinct.
Your success will be measured by SOW signings, successful solution delivery, and customer satisfaction (CSAT).
Key job responsibilities
As an experienced technology professional, you will be responsible for:
• Designing scalable, secure AWS solutions for sports and gaming customers, accounting for real time processing, regulatory compliance, and peak event traffic patterns
• Providing technical guidance during pre-sales and implementation, translating sports business structures (media rights, revenue sharing, franchise economics) into solution architectures
• Collaborating with Account Managers and SDTs to ensure proposals address sports betting compliance (AML, KYC), responsible gaming requirements, and data privacy obligations
• Advising customers on emerging technologies: sports AI/ML, DTC streaming, connected stadium infrastructure, integrity monitoring, and esports platforms
• Sharing knowledge through mentoring, training, and reusable artifacts that capture the regulatory and business patterns unique to this vertical
A day in the life
As a PCA in the sports and gaming vertical, no two days look the same, but your time centers on customers, partners, and solving real problems:
• Engaging directly with customers to understand their cloud journey, identify pain points, and scope solutions that deliver measurable value
• Partnering closely with ProServe Account Executives (PAEs) to align on opportunity strategy, develop statements of work, and drive deals through the pipeline
• Deep diving into customer environments to assess level of effort, define solution architectures, and build business cases that articulate the ProServe value proposition
• Delivering opportunity scoping and solution design focused entirely around the customer, solving their specific problems rather than selling generic services
• Working across organizational boundaries with Solution Architects, Account Executives, and delivery teams both inside ProServe and across the broader AWS sales organization
• Engaging directly with C suite executives, league technology officers, franchise CTOs, and technical experts inside each sports and gaming organization to build trust and drive outcomes
