Are you excited about the intersection of real-time voice systems and agentic AI? Do you thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving spaces where you get to define the architecture from scratch and work directly with customers?
We are looking for a Specialist Solutions Architect to own the Voice AI domain within the AI Frameworks
GTM team at
AWS. Voice AI agents - powering contact center automation, medical scribes, real-time translation, and conversational assistants - represent one of the fastest-growing agentic AI workloads. Enterprises are adopting composable voice pipelines (
STT → LLM →
TTS) that combine open-source frameworks, 3P voice models, and cloud infrastructure to meet stringent real-time requirements.
In this role, you will be the
go-to technical authority for voice AI on
AWS. You'll design end-to-end composable architectures for enterprise customers, integrating best-of-breed voice technologies with
AWS services - and demonstrate why
AWS is the superior platform for production voice AI at scale. You'll work across customer-facing engagements, 3P solution development, reference architecture creation, and field enablement.
Key job responsibilities
- Design composable voice AI architectures for enterprise customers — selecting and integrating the right combination of
STT, LLM, and
TTS models with orchestration frameworks and
AWS infrastructure (SageMaker AI,
EKS, AgentCore, Fargate) to meet real-time latency, cost, and compliance requirements
- Lead customer engagements end-to-end - from initial architecture workshops through production deployment, owning the technical relationship across multi-month cycles and adapting solutions as customer requirements evolve
- Win competitive deals by building TCO models, demonstrating cost/performance advantages of composable stacks on
AWS vs. managed alternatives and incumbent cloud platforms, and running proof-of-concept deployments
- Develop reference architectures and blueprints that codify repeatable patterns and enable the broader field (specialist SAs, account teams) to execute voice AI engagements at scale
- Drive 3P solution integration - coordinate technically with voice model providers and orchestration framework companies on joint solution development, marketplace onboarding, and roadmap alignment
- Influence product direction by translating customer pain points and competitive gaps into actionable feedback for
AWS service teams.
A keen sense of ownership, drive, and being scrappy is a must.
