AWS is looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to help large enterprises turn complex transformation decisions into clear, executable plans. You will work with customer executives, architects, engineers, account teams, and AWS partners on four connected priorities:
Migration, Modernization, Agentic Migrations, and Cloud2

AWS.

This role sits on the Migration and Modernization Solutions Architecture team. We are a senior, experienced team that works across industries and technology domains. We are brought into high-impact customer situations where the path forward is difficult, the business stakes are high, and the solution must extend beyond a single AWS service.

You will help customers assess application portfolios, build business cases, choose the right migration and modernization paths, and design target architectures. The work spans data center exits, application and database modernization, and custom application refactoring. Through Cloud2

AWS, you will also help customers move workloads from other cloud providers to AWS by developing service mappings, technical strategies, and compelling business cases.

Agentic Migrations are changing how customers discover, assess, plan, migrate, and modernize workloads. You will help customers apply AWS Transform, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Kiro, Agent Core, and agentic workflows to reduce manual effort, accelerate decisions, and improve migration outcomes. You do not need to be an expert in every technology. You do need strong architectural judgment, curiosity, and the ability to earn trust with both executives and builders.

This is a role for someone who enjoys working on hard, ambiguous customer problems, influencing decisions, and turning lessons from individual engagements into reusable approaches that improve the broader AWS field.
