DescriptionWhat if your customer was Amazon itself? AWS Plus is a specialized account team within AWS that supports Amazon's own business units as strategic cloud customers. As a Senior Solutions Architect on this team, you'll be the primary technical advisor to one or more of Amazon's businesses, working directly with their engineering teams and technology leaders to design, operate, and optimize AWS workloads at a scale few external customers ever reach. Amazon's businesses run some of the largest and most demanding workloads on AWS, and they expect their Solutions Architect to operate as a true peer to their engineers. You'll go deep on your customer's domain, make prescriptive architecture recommendations, and help them adopt new AWS capabilities, including generative and agentic AI, ahead of the broader market. Key job responsibilities

• Own the technical relationship with your assigned Amazon business units, serving as trusted advisor to engineering teams and VP
• and Director-level technology leaders, and translating their business goals into AWS architecture and adoption strategy.
• Make prescriptive recommendations on security, cost, performance, reliability, and operational efficiency for large-scale, business-critical workloads.
• Architect and advise on solutions across a broad range of AWS services, including compute, storage, data and analytics, integration, and AI/ML, matched to the customer's domain.
• Guide adoption of generative and agentic AI capabilities, using services such as Amazon Bedrock.
• Work backwards from customer business needs to translate requirements into well-architected designs and into the feature requests that influence AWS service roadmaps.
• Collaborate with AWS account management, Customer Solutions Managers, AWS Support, service teams, and the broader Solutions Architecture community to deliver complete technical coverage and speed up resolution of complex challenges.

A day in the life You'll work directly with the engineering teams behind one of Amazon's businesses, who run some of the largest workloads on AWS. That might mean an architecture review on a multi-region design one morning, a cost optimization deep dive in the afternoon, and a working session with an AWS service team on a customer feature request in between. You'll meet regularly with VP

• and Director-level technology stakeholders, surface customer feedback to AWS product teams, and help shape how Amazon's internal businesses adopt new AWS capabilities.
