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.
Key job responsibilities
- Architect, build, and validate AI-powered migration and modernization solutions across .
NET,
SQL Server, and virtualized/VMware workloads using
AWS Transform and
AWS services (Data & Analytics, GenAI, Observability, Security)
- Embed hands-on with
ISV and SI partners (forward-deployed engineering) — writing code, building integrations, and unblocking live migrations, then turning field learnings into repeatable, reusable patterns
- 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
