Amazon • Austin, TX

About The Position

AWS is hiring a Solutions Architect — Named-Account Lead to serve as the dedicated SA partner for an XL strategic customer in the AWS U.S. Nonprofits NFICU sub-vertical. In this role, you will partner with a Senior Account Executive and the broader account team to lead the account's AWS technical strategy across an integrated multi-pillar engagement: GenAI Full-Stack, Cloud Migration (modernization of the account's existing data-and-AI estate), Professional Services, and Amazon Connect. You will be the customer's primary AWS technical-architect-of-record, the AE's technical co-pilot, and the inside-AWS voice that translates the account's regulatory environment, and operating model into AWS architectural decisions that hold up over the long term. You will join the AWS WWPS U.S. Nonprofits Solutions Architecture organization, a team that has invested heavily in data-driven SA management, Kiro CLI / agentic-AI tooling for territory and account work, the GenAI Innovation Center (GenAIIC) accelerator mechanism for moving customer PoCs to production, and a strong Sales-SA partnership culture.

Requirements

• 2+ years of design, implementation, or consulting in applications and infrastructures experience
• 4+ years of specific technology domain areas (e.g. software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics) experience
• 5+ years of IT development or implementation/consulting in the software or Internet industries experience

Nice To Haves

• Experience working within software development or Internet-related industries
• Experience migrating or transforming legacy customer solutions to the cloud
• Experience working with AWS technologies from a dev/ops perspective

Responsibilities

• Be the customer's dedicated AWS technical advisor of record — the single named SA the customer's IT, security, AI, and executive teams know to bring into their hardest technical decisions.
• Operate at director-, VP-, and C-level technical-advisor altitude alongside the Account Executive.
• Lead architectural altitude across all of the customer's active AWS engagements.
• Apply the AWS GenAI Innovation Center (GenAIIC) + AI Development Life-Cycle (AIDLC) accelerator mechanism to move the customer's GenAI proof-of-concept work into production-launched outcomes.
• Partner deeply with AWS Professional Services on the customer's active ProServe engagements — providing pre-SOW architectural input, mid-engagement technical guidance, and post-engagement production-readiness review.
• Translate the customer's mission, regulatory environment, and operating model into AWS architectural decisions. AWS architectural choices on this account need to honor the customer's compliance posture, data-residency expectations, and member-data sensitivity — not as bolted-on constraints but as first-class design inputs.
• Operate the Sales-SA partnership cadence with the account sales team — weekly account-team standups, monthly business reviews, quarterly strategic-planning cycles, and ad-hoc executive-engagement support.
• Drive opportunity-pipeline integrity on the customer's active engagements.
• Adopt and promote the NPO SA org's Kiro CLI + MCP toolchain for account-management automation — Kiro CLI for customer-engagement preparation, AWSentral / Outlook / TFC-Hub MCP servers for opportunity / activity / TFC tracking. Reduce administrative overhead so technical-advisor hours go to customer outcomes.
• Contribute to the AWS NPO Technical Field Community (TFC) — participate in the bi-weekly Kiro demo-build program and the GenAI Accelerator Initiative. Where customer engagements yield reusable patterns (e.g., financial-services GenAI architectures), lift those patterns into TFC content that benefits the broader NPO SA bench.
• Travel approximately 25-35% — primarily to the customer's headquarters for in-person executive briefings, customer workshops, on-site architecture reviews, and joint working sessions, plus AWS / nonprofit industry events such as AWS Imagine for Nonprofits.

Benefits

• health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
• 401(k) matching
• paid time off
• parental leave
