Systems Development Engineer III, ISV Integration, Region Product Management- Region Services

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Systems Development Engineer III

Join the Region Services team within Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) to lead the technical integration and onboarding of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and model providers into US Sovereign and Dedicated Cloud environments.

• Own the end‑to‑end technical onboarding of ISV partners into ADC environments, from initial credentialing (e.g., account provisioning) through architecture review and production deployment.
• Provide hands‑on technical support to ISVs deploying workloads in classified environments, including architecture guidance, troubleshooting, deployment automation, and operational readiness.
• Define and own the ISV integration strategy; develop repeatable onboarding processes, runbooks, and automation tooling that scale beyond the initial pilot.
• Drive Model Parity: work with AI/ML model providers to package, validate, and deploy their model containers into Gov Cloud and ADC regions.
• Identify and escalate service or feature parity blockers that prevent ISV deployment; collaborate with internal service teams to drive resolution.
• Coordinate with AWS Professional Services, WWPS Partner teams, and government stakeholders to delineate responsibilities and avoid duplication of effort.
• Support ISVs ranging from AWS‑experienced organizations to those with zero classified environment experience, adapting engagement depth accordingly.
• Work across both low‑side and high‑side environments; interface with government customers on requirements, compliance, and technical dependencies.
• Influence technical roadmaps across partner and service teams; contribute to executive‑level strategy documents and status reporting.
• Operate across multiple partitions and contracts (Gov Cloud, DCA/Secret, Topaz/Top Secret, and related programs).

On a typical day you might help an ISV that has never operated in a classified environment get credentialed and into their first TS account, architect a containerized deployment for a SaaS partner that needs to operate differently in air‑gapped networks, escape a feature parity gap to the owning service team with a crisp write‑up of customer impact, or align swim lanes with Professional Services on who is handling which phase of a partner engagement.

You balance strategic planning with tactical execution, working across classification levels and across AWS organizations.
