Job Summary
Across state and local government the software that powers everyday public services is being rebuilt around generative AI and agentic systems. We are looking for a Solutions Architect who wants to be at the front of that wave helping Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) reimagine their products on AWS so the public servants who depend on them can do more with less.
AWS is hiring a Senior Solutions Architect to accelerate our GovTech business inside the Worldwide Public Sector organization. You will work directly with the leadership and engineering teams of ISVs whose software powers everything from 911 dispatch and digital evidence to court case management permitting and licensing and benefits eligibility. Your job is to help them architect build and scale modern AWS-native applications with a particular focus on generative AI agentic patterns and the data foundations that make both work in regulated environments.
As an SA on this team you will own the technical relationship with a portfolio of GovTech ISVs. You will guide product and platform decisions lead deep technical discussions on architecture and security and help these customers turn AI prototypes into production systems that meet the bar their public-sector buyers require working alongside teams whose products operate in regulated environments such as FedRAMP StateRAMP and CJIS.
A lot of this work is foundational. You will help customers pick the right compute design durable and well-modeled data architectures across relational NoSQL and analytics stores get networking and identity right and run cost-effectively at scale. The AI capabilities your customers want to ship are only as good as the platforms underneath them and you will spend real time on those primitives.
Ability to travel up to 30%.

- Partner with customers on the security data-governance and architectural decisions that shape how their products serve state and local government and public safety buyers.
- Help customers modernize core platforms onto AWS using containers serverless and managed data services so their AI roadmap has a foundation to stand on and help them tune those platforms for performance reliability and cost as they scale.
