Senior Solutions Architect, Amazon Supply Chain Services

Build the technical core of a new business at Amazon scale. Amazon is externalizing the supply chain that moves billions of units a year and turning it into a set of services any business in the world can plug into. We call it Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS). It is Amazons own supply chain now available to help businesses of all types and sizes transport warehouse distribute fulfill and deliver goods across first middle and last-mile touchpoints with the flexibility to adopt one some or all services. Fulfillment warehousing distribution transportation and shipping offered the way AWS offers compute. It is one of the largest greenfield opportunities at the company and the Solutions Architecture team sits at the center of it. When a business decides whether and how to run their supply chain on Amazon you are the person who designs the answer builds the proof and earns the trust that closes it.

This is not a role where you hand off a diagram and walk away. You own the end-to-end technical design of how a customers commerce stack their storefront OMS WMS middleware and APIs connects to Amazons supply chain network and you can build the integration not just draw it. You are the trusted technical advisor in the room with their CTO and VP of Engineering the passionate tinkerer who stands up a working proof of concept to de-risk the hard part and the builder whose reusable patterns make the next engagement faster for the whole team.

We are early. The portfolio is expanding and the hardest highest-value engagements stitch multiple supply chain services together. (Your customer might import via global logistics into upstream warehousing then inject into Amazons fulfillment network for retail and off-Amazon channels at once). You will help define what good looks like for this practice as it scales not inherit a finished playbook. If you want to be the technical field CTO of a business this size this is the seat.

You will be expected to quickly understand technical architectures; research build and deliver proof-of-concept solutions; speak to builder patterns and practices with fluency; and convert work-in-progress into launched production-ready business outcomes. As part of the SA community you will capture and share best practices generate internal and external technical content and grow the practice around you. This role involves up to 25% travel including customer site visits industry conferences and team meetings at various locations.
