About the job
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 the educators, students, and administrators who depend on them can do more with less. You will work directly with the leadership and engineering teams of ISVs whose software powers everything from learning management and student information systems to assessment platforms, enrollment management, and adaptive courseware. Your job is to help them architect, build, and scale modern AWS-native applications, with a particular focus on generative AI, agentic patterns, and the data foundations that make both work in privacy-sensitive education environments.
Responsibilities
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 for the workload at hand.
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 the 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, and translate both into concrete recommendations for your customers.
