Associate Solution Architect, AI Specialist Solutions Architect team

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is leading the next phase of AI adoption and is seeking a hands-on AI Specialist Solution Architect (SSA). AWS Specialist Solutions Architects (SSAs) are technologists with deep domain-specific expertise, able to address advanced concepts and feature designs.
As part of the AWS sales organization, SSAs work with customers who have complex challenges that require expert-level knowledge to solve. SSAs craft scalable, flexible, and resilient technical architectures that address those challenges. This might involve guiding customers as they refactor an application or design an entirely new cloud-based system.
Specialist SAs play a critical role in capturing customer feedback, advocating for roadmap enhancements and anticipating customer requirements as they work backwards from their needs. As domain experts, SSAs also participate in field engagement and enablement, producing content such as whitepapers, blogs, and workshops for customers, partners, and the AWS Technical Field.
This role focuses on converting AI ambition into programs that can be delivered, operated, and scaled in production environments.

• You will participate in the creation and sharing of best practices, technical content and new reference architectures (e.g. white papers, code samples, blog posts) and evangelize and educate about running GenAI/ML and Agentic workloads on AWS technology (e.g. through workshops, user groups, meetups, public speaking, online videos or conferences).
