About The Position

Amazon Selling Partner API (SP-API) is the next generation suite of API-based
automation functionality for Amazon's Selling Partners. We are looking for an
experienced and self-motivated Solutions Architect, who possesses a unique
balance of technical depth and customer-facing experience, to contribute to the
development of the SP-API ecosystem and enable customers on their integration
journey.

As a trusted advisor, you will help organizations—from start-ups to enterprise
customers—understand opportunities to develop and integrate with Selling Partner
APIs. You'll collaborate with external customers and internal teams to craft
optimized, scalable, and secure solutions while providing thought leadership
through documentation, public speaking, and reference architectures.

You should be comfortable building technical credibility with API Developers,
Solution Architects, Product Managers and C-level stakeholders. The ability to
link technology with measurable business value is critical to a Solutions
Architect role. You should also have a demonstrated ability to think
strategically about business, products, and technical challenges.

The Solutions Architect team supporting the Selling Partner API (SP-API) is
responsible for helping external developers, ISVs, and partners successfully
build API applications. In a typical week, you will engage with multiple
customers—guiding them through API best practices, authentication workflows, and
scalable integration patterns across Orders, Catalog, Fulfillment, and
Notifications APIs. You will earn their trust and show them the art of the
possible, educating partners on automating inventory management, streamlining
order processing, and building seamless selling experiences. Partnering with
internal Amazon teams, you'll craft reliable, compliant solutions that address
our partners' unique business challenges.

Our global Solutions Architecture team enables technology Solution Providers to
build on Selling Partner API. We bring value to the developer community by
providing direct guidance and thought leadership on building scalable solutions
using well-architected best practices.
