AI/ML Specialist Solutions Architect, Enterprise, AGS US Specialist SA

About the role

AWS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, empowering customers of all sizes to innovate and expand in the cloud. As a GenAI/ML Solutions Architect, you will serve as the Subject Matter Expert helping customers in the United States design solutions leveraging AWS GenAI and ML services. You will work as an overlay to field sales teams, covering customers across multiple verticals to architect and adopt solutions using Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon SageMaker AI, Amazon Nova models, and the broader AI/ML portfolio.

You will design RAG architectures, agentic AI workflows, model customization strategies, responsible AI implementations, and production-scale inference pipelines. You will interact with other Solutions Architects in the field, providing guidance on customer engagements, and develop content such as blog posts, reference implementations, workshops, and presentations to enable customers to fully leverage generative AI on AWS. Additionally, you will act as the voice of the customer, working closely with service teams to submit product feature requests.

Responsibilities

• Work with customers' development, data science, and AI engineering teams to deeply understand their business and technical needs, then design solutions using AWS AI/ML services including Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon SageMaker AI, Amazon Nova foundation models, Amazon Quick, Kiro, Amazon Comprehend, Amazon Rekognition, Amazon Textract, and Amazon Transcribe.
• Partner with Solutions Architects, Sales, Business Development, and AI/ML service teams to accelerate customer adoption and revenue attainment for AWS generative AI and machine learning services in the Americas, with a focus on Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon SageMaker AI, and the agentic AI portfolio.
• Evangelize AWS GenAI/ML services and share best practices through AWS blogs, whitepapers, reference architectures, sample code repositories, and public-speaking events such as AWS Summit and AWS re:Invent.
• Act as a technical liaison between customers and AWS service teams (Bedrock, AgentCore, SageMaker, and broader AI/ML) to provide customer-driven product improvement feedback and feature requests.
• Develop and support an AWS internal community of GenAI-related subject matter experts in the Americas, enabling field teams to identify, qualify, and position generative AI and agentic AI opportunities with their customers.

A day in the life

Most of your time is spent working directly with customers, helping them use generative AI and machine learning to solve real business problems. Engagements may include:

• Video calls with engineering teams to architect AI agents for processing invoice documents, discussing data requirements, and evaluating tradeoffs.
• Preparing demos for customers evaluating AWS against competitors for conversational AI use cases.
• On-site workshops guiding customers through building retrieval-augmented generation pipelines.

You typically focus on a single industry (e.g., financial services, healthcare, manufacturing), building familiarity with its problems, regulations, and data challenges. Engagements vary in length from a few weeks to a couple of months. Between customer conversations, you create reusable content such as blog posts, demos, or reference architectures to share knowledge with peers. You also help other technical teams identify AI/ML opportunities in their customer conversations.

Occasionally, you may present customer success stories at events like re:Invent, get early access to new services to shape their development, or brief Fortune 500 executives on agentic AI. Travel is approximately 20-30%, primarily for customer workshops, executive briefings, and AWS events.
