Description
Application deadline: Aug 30, 2026
AWS Global Sales drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers of all sizes to innovate and expand in the cloud. Our team empowers every customer to grow by providing tailored service, unmatched technology, and strong support. We dive deep to understand each customer's unique challenges, then craft innovative solutions that accelerate their success. This customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud. Join us and help us grow.
The ISV Solutions Architecture team partners with software companies to build, optimize, and scale their products on AWS — unlocking growth through cloud-native architectures, marketplace distribution, and AI-powered differentiation. As a trusted technical advisor, you will help ISVs modernize their platforms, consolidate AI infrastructure onto AWS, and accelerate go-to-market through AWS Marketplace.
What We're Looking For
Key job responsibilities
Partner with ISV account teams to formulate and execute technical strategies that drive AWS adoption and platform modernization.
Drive adoption of Amazon Bedrock as the unified endpoint for frontier foundation models (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Meta Llama, Amazon Nova) — helping ISVs consolidate fragmented AI vendor relationships into a secure, cost-optimized access layer.
Advise ISVs on migrating from direct model provider agreements to Bedrock, articulating the value of unified governance, cross-model flexibility, guardrails, and EDP drawdown.
Enable ISVs to embed GenAI capabilities into their products using Bedrock Agents, Knowledge Bases, and model customization.
Advise on AWS Marketplace listing strategies, private offer structures, and co-sell motions to accelerate ISV revenue growth.
Design and validate architectures for ISV SaaS workloads — including multi-tenancy, tenant isolation, and modern application patterns (containers, serverless, microservices, event-driven).
Build executive-level technical relationships with ISV CTOs and VPs of Engineering.
Drive product feedback loops (PFRs) by translating ISV pain points into feature requests for AWS service teams.
A day in the life
Our customers are mid-to-large independent software vendors; as an SA on this team, you'll work with some of the largest ISV accounts at AWS alongside dedicated Account Managers, Partner Solution Managers, and Specialist sellers to drive technical strategy, Bedrock/GenAI adoption, and AWS Marketplace growth across your territory.
