About the job
As a Migration & Modernization Partner Solutions Architect at AWS, you will help shape and deliver a strategy to accelerate customer migrations and modernizations to AWS through our partner ecosystem. Emphasis is on working directly with ISV and SI partners to build AI-powered migration and modernization strategies that help customers move and modernize business-critical workloads — including Windows/.NET, SQL Server, and virtualized/VMware environments — on AWS.
This is a hands-on, partner-facing role with a forward-deployed engineering mindset. You will embed directly with partners and their customer engagements — writing code, building integrations, and troubleshooting alongside partner teams — while integrating AWS Transform capabilities and Generative AI to accelerate the migration lifecycle. As the right candidate, you possess in-depth technical skills across cloud migration, modernization, and AI/ML, plus the partner development and customer-facing skills to represent AWS to customers, partners, developers, and architects. You think strategically about business, product, and technical challenges.

- Design GenAI and agentic AI architectures — RAG pipelines, multi-agent orchestration, automated code analysis and refactoring, and dependency mapping — that reduce migration timelines and manual effort
- Enable partners to integrate AWS Transform APIs into their platforms and layer GenAI on top; guide foundation model selection, prompt engineering, and GenAIOps (guardrails, evaluation, responsible AI)
- Collaborate with the AWS Transform service team and cross-functional AWS teams (Partner Core, WWSO GTM, field) to scale partner-led programs and inform the product roadmap
- Publish reference architectures, technical content, and thought leadership; enable the broader SA and partner community
