About The Position

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 designing entirely new cloud-based systems.

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.

GenAI Specialist Solutions Architects combine technical skills in AIML, business
acumen, and technical sales skills. They are focused on supporting customers
throughout the engagement lifecycle and work closely with the teams that support
implementation including AWS Professional Services and Partners. SSAs unblock
customers and help them get to production faster. Joining AWS as a Specialist
Solutions Architect will give you opportunities to work on interesting and
challenging problems, collaborate with a group of skilled practitioners focused
on delivering outcomes for our customers, and be part of a diverse and inclusive
community committed to being Earth’s Best Employer.

multi-billion-dollar businesses in State & Local Government and Education
Industry. Our teams include specialist sales, and specialist solutions
architecture, working together to provide customer-obsessed solutions that help
