Solutions Architect, Frontier AI Startups

We are looking for technical builders who are passionate about helping startups at the frontier of AI to grow. This role requires someone equally comfortable in deep architectural conversations and advisory discussions, understanding that for a startup, the right technical decision and the right business decision are rarely separate.

About the role

In this position, you will work directly with a portfolio of frontier AI startups, helping them architect, train, fine-tune, and deploy AI systems at scale. Your conversations will range from low-level discussions about chip types to high-level explorations of advanced prompt engineering.

Your work will extend beyond individual customer relationships. You will serve as a direct feedback channel to product teams, translating patterns you observe across your portfolio into concrete input on what should be built and improved. You will also contribute to the broader technical community through written content and conference presentations, sharing knowledge at a scale that one-on-one work alone cannot reach.

Responsibilities

• Advise a range of funded AI startups to adopt the right architecture for them.
• Support startups in architecting scalable, reliable, and secure solutions.
• Support adoption of a broad range of AWS services to deliver business value and accelerate growth.
• Support the evolution and roadmap of the AWS platform and services, connecting engineering teams with customers for feedback.
• Establish and build technical relationships within the startup ecosystem, including accelerators, incubators, and VCs.
• Develop startup-specific technical content, such as blog posts, sample code, and solutions to assist customers in solving technical problems and reducing time-to-market.

A day in the life

A day in the life of a Frontier AI Solutions Architect is rarely the same. Expect a variety of technical conversations revolving around applied AI and infrastructure, meetings with VCs and incubators, and opportunities to build and present AI content and projects.
