AWS负责人
Practice Lead: AWS
实践负责人:AWS
AWS 实践负责人是一个亲力亲为的领导者,致力于帮助客户充分利用在 AWS 上运行的开源数据库以及围绕它们的更广泛的 AWS 生态系统(EKS、Aurora、RDS、ElastiCache、MSK 等)。虽然主要重点是数据库环境,但当它影响到数据库性能、成本或可靠性时,该负责人会在相关基础设施方面提供架构指导。
作为一位公认的行业思想领袖,实践负责人始终站在 AWS 平台发展的最前沿,提供战略建议,并直接协助复杂的实施和迁移工作。
这是一个专门针对 AWS 的角色。未来我们可能会为其他超大规模云服务(Azure、GCP)建立类似的实践,但目前该角色的范围是专注于 AWS,并希望在该生态系统中拥有深入且真实的专长,而不是同时浅尝辄止地覆盖三个云平台。
我们的理念:在客户所在之处与他们相遇
这个角色基于一个简单的理念:我们在客户所在之处与他们相遇,而对大量不断增长的客户来说,那正是 AWS。实践负责人应在任何适合 AWS 解决方案的情况下默认采用 AWS 方案,并真正热衷于它,而不是勉强支持它。同时,“自然契合”在这句话中是实实在在的。如果对于某个客户的成本、可移植性或技术需求,完全托管的 AWS 服务并不是最佳选择,实践负责人应明确指出并推荐更好的路径,即使该路径涉及自管理或 Percona 支持的开源解决方案。这份工作不是将 AWS 强加给不需要它的客户,也不是出于对开源的本能偏好而引导人们远离 AWS。而是为客户提供建立在技术基础上的坦诚建议,并让正确的答案胜出。这就是我们“以客户为先”的实际体现。
关键职责
客户倡导:以客户最佳利益为出发点。您将推广 Percona 的专业知识,并在适用时推广 Percona 的软件和服务,但客户的成果始终是第一位的,无论哪种工具或平台功能能实现它。
现有客户增长:该角色不仅仅是吸引新客户。工作中很重要的一部分是关注 Percona 现有客户群与 AWS 相关的部分,有两个方向。首先,那些已经在 AWS 环境中运行的客户;其次,那些正在考虑迁移到 AWS 或需要优化其 AWS 使用的客户。

Practice Lead: AWSThe Practice Lead for AWS is a hands-on leader dedicated to helping customers get the most out of open-source databases running on AWS and the broader AWS ecosystem around them (EKS, Aurora, RDS, ElastiCache, MSK, and the like). While the primary focus is on database environments, the Lead provides architectural guidance across the surrounding infrastructure whenever it affects database performance, cost, or reliability.As a recognized thought leader, the Practice Lead stays at the forefront of how the AWS platform is evolving, offering strategic advice and direct assistance with complex implementations and migrations.This is a dedicated, AWS-specific role. We may stand up equivalent practices for other hyperscalers (Azure, GCP) down the road, but for now, the scope is intentionally focused on AWS, and we want deep, real expertise in that ecosystem rather than shallow coverage across three clouds at once.Our Philosophy: Meet the Customer Where They AreThis role is built around a simple idea: we meet customers where they are, and for a large and growing number of them, that's AWS. The Practice Lead should default to AWS solutions wherever they're the natural, appropriate fit for the customer, and be genuinely enthusiastic about it, not begrudgingly supportive of it. At the same time, "natural fit" is doing real work in that sentence. If a fully managed AWS service isn't the right call for a given customer's cost, portability, or technical requirements, the Practice Lead should say so plainly and recommend the better path, even if that path runs through self-managed or Percona-supported open-source instead. The job isn't to force AWS onto customers who don't need it, and it isn't to steer people away from AWS out of some reflexive preference for open source either. It's to give customers a straight, technically grounded recommendation and let the right answer win. That's our value of putting the customer ahead of Percona, in practice.Key ResponsibilitiesCustomer Advocacy: Act in the best interest of the customer. You will champion Percona's expertise and, where it fits, Percona software and services, but the customer's outcome always comes first, regardless of which tools or platform features get them there.Existing Customer Growth: This role isn't just about net-new logos. A meaningful part of the job is looking after Percona's existing customer base as it relates to AWS, in two directions. First, customers already running in AWS environments today: helping them get more value out of that setup, whether that's performance tuning, cost optimization, or adopting additional AWS or Percona services they aren't using yet. Second, customers who aren't on AWS today but are actively migrating there: making sure that transition goes smoothly, that Percona's support and services move with them, and that we don't lose ground with a customer just because their infrastructure is changing.Product & Partnership Influence: Act as a strategic advisor to internal Percona teams to improve our software and services for customers running on AWS. You will work closely with our internal Cloud Partnership team on our formal relationship with AWS (co-sell motions, partner programs, joint go-to-market), while you own the technical depth and credibility that makes that partnership valuable in the first place.Business Growth: This is a results-oriented role. Success is measured by the revenue and profitability of the AWS Practice, its contribution to Percona subscriptions (Support, Managed Services, etc.), partnership revenue, and overall customer satisfaction.Thought Leadership: Drive Percona's presence in the AWS and open source database space through content creation, professional networking, and speaking engagements at industry conferences and AWS-specific events (re:Invent and the like).Service Design: Architect professional service offerings and packages, such as migration assessments, cost optimization reviews, and architecture audits, designed for high market impact and successful customer adoption.Sales & Marketing Enablement: Serve as a "Super Expert" Solutions Architect during pre-sales cycles. You will work closely with Marketing on technical campaigns and enable the Sales team to win deals with significant AWS components.Practice Building: As the business scales, you will be responsible for hiring and mentoring a dedicated team to expand the AWS Practice.<!--WEB-ONLY-->Why Percona?At Percona, we believe an open world is a better world.
