Senior Solutions Architect for Startups

Are you passionate about startups and eager to make a significant impact using modern technologies? We are seeking innovative technical builders who thrive on helping startups grow and succeed. Join our mission to support the next generation of enterprises!

Startups are the trailblazers of tomorrow. These dynamic companies are launched by ambitious individuals who aspire to create something impactful, often challenging conventional business models and catering to overlooked markets. Many operate in resource-constrained environments—whether it’s time, capital, technical expertise, or experience—and this is where you can make a difference.

The AWS Startup Solutions Architecture team is committed to assisting startup businesses in navigating their growth journey. We aim to help them implement scalable, secure, and efficient architectures while minimizing both time and cost.

In this role, you will engage directly with a variety of fascinating customers across multiple sectors, including ISVs, AI / ML, HealthTech, FinTech, ClimateTech, and more. You will guide them in making informed—sometimes pragmatic—technical decisions as they progress. Establish strong, lasting relationships with founders and become a trusted advisor in their journeys.

You will also have opportunities to maintain your technical acumen, leveraging over 200 AWS services across various domains to ensure startups utilize the most relevant ones. Act as a customer advocate with our product teams to ensure that we are developing the right products and features tailored to the needs of startups.

Furthermore, you will be given ample opportunities to disseminate your knowledge more broadly by creating technical content and presenting at industry events.
