Do you think big about how Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) solutions using Cloud Computing empower businesses to innovate faster? Would you like a career that gives you opportunities to challenge the status quo, innovate on behalf of customers, and enable novel applications of AR/VR for both business and consumer end users? Amazon Web Services (
AWS) is looking for a Specialist Solutions Architect who is passionate about helping customers develop immersive 3D applications using (AR/VR) technologies.
As an AR/VR Specialist Solutions Architect, you will possess broad technical expertise, passion in the AR/VR space, strong interpersonal skills, and experience in related technologies such as 3D development and immersive applications. You will have a strong understanding of large-scale computing solutions, continuously hone and expand your skill set, and effectively lead deep architecture discussions. Successful candidates possess equal parts creativity with equal parts cloud-integration experience. You will be advising customers (as well as your peers within Amazon) on AR/VR strategy and relevant use cases, designing and delivering workshops, and rapid prototyping Proofs-of-Concept and pilot engagements where path-to-production deployment is anticipated. You will build architectures and provide prescriptive guidance for both AR/VR development as well as cloud computing architecture and traditional software development. You'll also work closely with cross functional teams from Marketing, Sales, Business Development, and Services teams to build and identify repeatable use cases and articulate their benefits on a wider platform. This will be done via blogs, Reference Architectures, best practice presentations and customer immersion days.

AWSA day in the life
Your morning starts with team standup where you and fellow Prototyping Architects align with your Technical Program Manager on customer momentum, breakthrough patterns, and hard problems at Physical AI's edge. Then into deep coding work building transformative spatial solutions: constructing digital twins, integrating 3D perception with foundation models, and orchestrating
real-time spatial
data pipelines on
AWS. You make architectural decisions that drive measurable business outcomes: predictive maintenance through simulation, immersive training experiences, autonomous navigation in physical spaces. Mid-morning brings a strategic conversation with customer leadership on how Physical AI and spatial architectures power their business. Afternoon: architecting an immersive experience with specialized spatial agents, collaborating with Design Technologists on visualization. You document edge cases and patterns that become blueprints for future engagements. As day closes, you're context-switching between production code, architectural decisions, and translating innovation into strategic language for leadership. You're building solutions that illuminate the path for how enterprises adopt Physical AI.
