You will develop and maintain cloud migration and modernization acumen across AWS and other public cloud offerings. You will document and share your insights to scale your expertise, and will also use these insights to improve our product offerings, and go-to-market campaigns.
The ideal candidate is an individual who understands the public cloud and has a passion for continual learning about new cloud offerings and the latest industry developments. You must be able to collaborate with cross-functional teams, think strategically about the complex business and technical needs of our customers, and be equally comfortable communicating with C-level executives and technical decision makers. You must have a proven track record as a consultant, advisor, or main stake holder delivering cloud native solutions.
Key job responsibilities
A day in the life
The AWS Cloud Intelligence team is a specialty services organization that provides cloud compete expertise globally. We are subject matter experts (SMEs) covering top and emerging competitors, key domains, and industry segments. Cloud Intelligence enables field teams to help their customers quickly by removing both business and technical blockers in the sales cycle. We advise account teams and their customers through at scale content, gather and analyze insights surrounding comparable cloud providers, and highlight product and position gaps that our customers are experiencing to continuously improve AWS’ overall value proposition. In addition to on-demand self-service resources, the CI team provides targeted support for specific competitive opportunities through one-to-one customer engagements. This team hires SAs and BDMs who are SMEs in one or more public clouds to advise AWS field teams on the best strategies to develop compelling business cases to support customers co-existing and partnering with competing public cloud services.

Cloud Solutions Engineer Jobs in San Francisco: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a cloud solutions engineer job in San Francisco?
The strongest path is targeting San Francisco's dense concentration of enterprise SaaS companies, cloud-native startups, and financial services firms in SoMa, the Financial District, and Mission Bay. Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP is the baseline expectation here. Candidates who can demonstrate pre-sales or customer-facing technical work stand out, since many San Francisco employers blend engineering with solution architecture responsibilities.
Which companies hire cloud solutions engineers in San Francisco?
San Francisco cloud solutions engineer roles are posted by Amazon Web Services, Google, and Salesforce and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. San Francisco's hiring mix skews heavily toward cloud platform vendors, enterprise software companies, and fintech and healthtech firms with large technology infrastructure needs.
Are there remote cloud solutions engineer jobs in San Francisco?
Yes, and cloud solutions engineering is one of the more remote-compatible technical roles since most work involves architecture reviews, configuration, and customer collaboration rather than on-site hardware. About 31% of cloud solutions engineer openings tied to San Francisco are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the sector's comfort with distributed teams. Client-facing and pre-sales portions of the role are most commonly handled remotely in San Francisco.

The most realistic entry point in San Francisco is a cloud support engineer or associate solutions engineer role at one of the city's many SaaS or cloud platform companies, which routinely hire candidates with a cloud certification and strong troubleshooting skills. Companies in Mission Bay's healthtech cluster and SoMa's startup corridor frequently post junior-level roles. Building a portfolio of hands-on cloud projects and earning an AWS, GCP, or Azure associate certification gives candidates a clear edge in the local market.
