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. You will craft scalable, flexible, and resilient technical architectures that address those challenges. This might involve guiding customers as they refactor an application or designing an entirely new cloud-based system.
SSAs play a critical role in capturing customer feedback, advocating 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.
