Staff Cloud Architect - AWS, Japan

Location
Though our work is primarily remote (work from home) with occasional travel to Tokyo, we are only looking for people who reside in Japan and have work rights there.

Who We Are
DoiT is a global multicloud innovator that helps simplify the most important cloud challenges.  Our vision is to deliver the true promise of the cloud by making it more accessible and transformative.

Our mission is to help cloud-driven organizations understand and harness the cloud to drive business growth. We do this by providing intelligent and continuous engagement with unrivaled cloud expertise to buy, optimize, and manage the cloud with ease. With almost 2,500 years of collective cloud operations experience and $1.7B in cloud spend under management. An award-winning strategic partner of Google Cloud and AWS; DoiT works alongside our 3,000+ customers to save them time and money. 

The Opportunity
We are a team of cloud professionals who love working with other people to solve challenging technical problems. We are committed to personal development and enjoy sharing our knowledge and experience through blogging, training, public speaking, and contributing to open-source.

We work hands-on, side-by-side with our customers to educate, mentor, advise, and solve problems to make sure they are getting the most out of what the cloud has to offer.

Our approach is different - we prefer to teach people how to fish instead of fishing for them. Here is how we do it: a day in the life of a Cloud Architect @ DoiT.

We are looking for people to join us on our mission and share the honor and delight of being able to help companies to realize their ideas into successful products.
