Solutions Architect, EdTech Strategic ISVs

Job :  | Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Across education, the software that powers teaching, learning, and institutional operations 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 educators, students, and administrators can do more with less.

AWS is hiring a Solutions Architect to accelerate our EdTech business inside the Worldwide Public Sector organization. You will work directly with ISV leadership and engineering teams whose software powers everything from learning management and student information systems to assessment platforms, enrollment management, and adaptive courseware. Your role is to architect, build, and scale modern AWS‑native applications with a focus on generative AI, agentic patterns, and the data foundations that support privacy‑sensitive education environments.

Key responsibilities include owning the technical relationship with a portfolio of EdTech ISV accounts, guiding product and platform decisions, leading deep technical discussions on architecture and security, and helping customers turn AI prototypes into production systems that meet the expectations of their institutional, higher‑education, and K‑12 buyers. You will help customers pick the right compute, design durable data architectures across relational, No

SQL, and analytics stores, secure networking and identity, and run cost‑effectively  AI capabilities your customers want to ship are only as good as the platforms underneath them, and you will spend time on those primitives.

• Own the technical engagement and outcomes for a portfolio of EdTech ISV accounts, from discovery through production scale.
• Lead technical deep‑dives, whiteboarding sessions, and executive briefings.
• Guide foundational architecture decisions across compute, storage, networking, identity, and databases, helping customers choose between EC2, EKS, ECS, and Lambda, and across RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, and analytics services.
• Lead architecture and design conversations on generative AI applications built on Amazon Bedrock, including agentic patterns, retrieval, evaluations, and guardrails appropriate for education workloads handling student data.
• Partner with customers on security, data‑governance, and architectural decisions that shape how their products serve K‑12 districts, higher‑education institutions, and state education agencies.
• 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.
• Stay current with the AWS service roadmap and the EdTech market, translating both into concrete recommendations for your customers.

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

• 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.
