Solutions Architect III - AWS WWPS, US Department of War, U.S. Army Solutions Architecture Team

Senior Solutions Architect Do you want to help the U.S. Army and broader Department of War adopt innovative cloud computing solutions that make a real difference? As a Senior Solutions Architect within the World Wide Public Sector practice at Amazon Web Services (AWS), you will work directly with U.S. Army customers and a broad ecosystem of system integrators and solution providers to design and deliver cloud architectures that address complex data, security, and mission requirements. Our team is growing to keep pace with rising demand as defense customers modernize their technology platforms — and this is your chance to be part of that momentum. You will own implementation architectures and shape strategies for projects involving large-scale data workloads and a broad range of AWS services, such as Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), and Amazon Bedrock. You will also advise customers on how generative AI capabilities can accelerate their missions. If you are a pragmatic, curious builder who thrives on variety and excels at briefing customers, we want to hear from you. This position requires willingness to travel within the U.S. and overseas up to 35%. The candidate selected must be a U.S. citizen and able to either hold, or obtain and hold, a Top Secret security clearance. Key job responsibilities: Design end-to-end cloud architectures for Army customers, evaluating trade-offs across security, reliability, performance, cost, and operational readiness to meet mission-critical requirements. Serve as a trusted technical advisor to senior government stakeholders, building relationships, and guiding their long-term technology strategy while ensuring near-term decisions support broader business outcomes. Own technical engagements from initial scoping through implementation, defining solution architectures for large-scale data workloads and working with system integrators and solution providers to deliver results. Lead technical discussions with customer and partner teams, proactively identifying high-risk or overly complex options and engaging specialist resources when the situation calls for deeper review. Capture and share best practices across the AWS Solutions Architect community by contributing reference designs, reusable artifacts, and thought leadership content such as presentations, workshops, and technical write-ups.
