About The Position

AWS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers of all sizes to innovate and grow. Our team empowers every customer by providing tailored service, compelling technology, and hands-on support. We take the time to understand each customer's unique challenges — from scaling rapidly with limited resources, to modernizing legacy systems, to unlocking new revenue streams through data and AI — then build solutions that accelerate their outcomes. This customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud. Join us and help us grow.

As a trusted customer advocate, the Solutions Architect will help Small and Medium Business (SMB) organizations understand best practices around advanced cloud-based solutions, and how to migrate and modernize existing workloads to the cloud. You will have the opportunity to help shape and execute a strategy to build mindshare and broad adoption of AWS within the SMB segment, with a specific focus on how Generative AI and Agentic AI are reshaping how fast-growing businesses operate, compete, and serve their customers.

The ability to connect technology with measurable business value is critical to a Solutions Architect. You should have a demonstrated ability to think strategically about business, products, and technical challenges unique to the SMB space, including rapid scalability, cost optimization, security posture maturity, and AI-powered innovation. As SMB customers move from experimenting with GenAI to deploying autonomous agents across their operations, you will help them navigate that shift with confidence and speed.

Responsibilities

• As part of the SMB account management team, formulate and execute a technical strategy aligned to SMB customers' growth goals, with a deliberate focus on GenAI and Agentic AI adoption that drives measurable outcomes across sales, operations, and customer engagement functions.
• Educate customers on AWS's value for SMB workloads and lead architectural discussions to ensure solutions are designed for resilience, cost efficiency, security, and rapid innovation — including multi-agent systems and foundation model integrations tailored to SMB use cases.
