Sr. Solutions Architect, Strategic ISVs, Nexus-B
About the role
AWS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers of all sizes to innovate and expand in the cloud. Our team empowers every customer to grow by providing tailored service, unmatched technology, and strong support. We dive deep to understand each customer's unique challenges, then craft innovative solutions that accelerate their success. This customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud. Join us and help us grow.
The ISV Solutions Architecture team partners with software companies to build, optimize, and scale their products on AWS — unlocking growth through cloud-native architectures, marketplace distribution, and AI-powered differentiation. As a trusted technical advisor, you will help ISVs modernize their platforms, consolidate AI infrastructure onto AWS, and accelerate go-to-market through AWS Marketplace.
Key job responsibilities
- Partner with ISV account teams to formulate and execute technical strategies that drive AWS adoption and platform modernization.
- Drive adoption of Amazon Bedrock as the unified endpoint for frontier foundation models (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Meta Llama, Amazon Nova) — helping ISVs consolidate fragmented AI vendor relationships into a secure, cost-optimized access layer.
- Advise ISVs on migrating from direct model provider agreements to Bedrock, articulating the value of unified governance, cross-model flexibility, guardrails, and EDP drawdown.
- Enable ISVs to embed GenAI capabilities into their products using Bedrock Agents, Knowledge Bases, and model customization.
- Advise on AWS Marketplace listing strategies, private offer structures, and co-sell motions to accelerate ISV revenue growth.
- Design and validate architectures for ISV SaaS workloads — including multi-tenancy, tenant isolation, and modern application patterns (containers, serverless, microservices, event-driven).
- Build executive-level technical relationships with ISV CTOs and VPs of Engineering.
- Drive product feedback loops (PFRs) by translating ISV pain points into feature requests for AWS service teams.

What we're looking for
- Strong familiarity with generative AI architectures: LLM integration patterns, RAG, agentic workflows, and the Amazon Bedrock ecosystem (Agents, Knowledge Bases, Guardrails).
- Ability to articulate the consolidation value of Bedrock vs. direct model provider contracts: security, compliance, cost optimization, and multi-model flexibility.
- Understanding of SaaS architecture patterns: multi-tenancy, control planes, consumption metering, and CI/CD at scale.
- Familiarity with AWS Marketplace, ISV Accelerate, and AWS Partner Network programs.
- Ability to connect architecture decisions to ISV business outcomes (ARR, margins, customer acquisition).
- Experience with modern application development: containers, serverless, microservices, event-driven architectures.

Preferred qualifications

- Prior experience at a SaaS/ISV company (engineering, architecture, or technical leadership).

- Experience with AI developer productivity tooling (Claude Code, Amazon Q Developer, Kiro).
- AWS certifications: (Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer, or specialty).
