AWS Solutions Architect (AI Implementations)
Summary
Works as an AWS Solutions Architect on AI implementation projects, designing end-to-end architectures using AWS AI/ML services (Bedrock, SageMaker) and guiding engineering teams to turn client AI strategies into production cloud solutions.
This is a remote position.
- Designing end-to-end AWS architectures for AI and GenAI implementations across multiple client projects
- Leading architecture discovery workshops and Well-Architected Framework reviews with client teams
- Selecting and configuring the right AWS AI/ML services for each use case — Bedrock, SageMaker, Comprehend, Textract, and beyond
- Defining IaC standards and reviewing infrastructure implementations by engineering teams
- Advising on data architecture — ingestion, storage, transformation, and access patterns optimised for AI workloads
- Working with client security and compliance teams to ensure architectures meet regulatory and enterprise requirements
- Contributing to pre-sales and solutioning — proposals, effort estimates, and client technical presentations where needed
- Mentoring cloud engineers on the delivery team and conducting architecture and code reviews
- Staying current with the AWS AI/ML service roadmap and advising clients on relevant emerging capabilities
Requirements
- Proven AWS architecture experience at senior or lead level (5+ years hands-on, across multiple production environments)
- Hands-on experience designing and implementing AI/ML solutions on AWS — Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock, or equivalent managed AI services
- Deep knowledge of AWS core services: compute (EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda), storage (S3, EFS), databases (RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora), networking (VPC, API Gateway, CloudFront)
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code — Terraform, AWS CDK, or CloudFormation — with a production track record, not just familiarity
- Understanding of data architecture patterns for AI workloads: data lakes, streaming pipelines, feature stores, vector databases
- Security-first design mindset — IAM, VPC design, encryption, compliance with GDPR and common enterprise security frameworks
- Ability to work directly with clients: translating business requirements into architectural decisions and communicating them clearly to both technical teams and senior stakeholders
- English proficiency at B2 or above (working language across international delivery teams and clients)
- AWS certification — Solutions Architect Professional, Machine Learning Specialty, or equivalent (valued but not a hard requirement)
- Experience with GenAI application architecture: LLM integration, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), agentic AI frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph) running on AWS infrastructure
- MLOps experience — model deployment pipelines, monitoring, drift detection, model versioning (SageMaker Pipelines, MLflow, etc.)
- Multi-account AWS architecture: AWS Organizations, Control Tower, landing zones
- Cost optimisation expertise — FinOps practices, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, rightsizing for AI/GPU workloads
- Experience in regulated industries: financial services, healthcare, or public sector — with associated compliance requirements
- Containerised AI workloads: Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), Helm
- Observability and monitoring: CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, OpenTelemetry
