Program Overview:
This is a structured, cohort-based accelerated development program designed for early career Solutions Architects. You'll join a cohort of peers at one of our hub locations in Arlington VA, Austin TX, or Seattle WA, building a professional network from Day 1.
You'll be embedded in a supportive team with a dedicated mentor, an onboarding buddy, and a manager who guides your technical and professional growth. You'll follow a structured learning journey that develops deep expertise in cloud architecture, AI/ML, and customer-facing solution design. Within weeks, you'll begin working directly with AWS customers — from startups to large enterprises — helping them architect cloud solutions that solve real business problems.
Start Date Details:
This is a cohort-based program where everyone is required to start on the same day. Start dates are tentatively set to occur January 25, 2027.
Key job responsibilities
- Create solutions that address customer business problems and accelerate the adoption of AWS services
- Interface with customer stakeholders, including developers and team leads
- Drive effective feedback gathering from customers, distill and translate feedback into clear business and technical requirements for product and engineering teams
A day in the life
No two days look exactly the same, and that's what makes this role exciting. Your morning might start with a team stand-up where you share wins and learning moments with your cohort and mentor, followed by a hands-on lab building a serverless architecture or working with an AI model on Amazon Bedrock. By midday, you could be on a customer call helping a CTO plan a cloud migration — whiteboarding an architecture, recommending services, and walking them through a proof-of-concept, with your mentor there to support you. In the afternoon, you might attend a technical session led by a senior SA on emerging technology, then spend time working toward your next AWS certification. Later, you'll collaborate with your cohort on a group project — building a customer-facing demo, writing a technical blog post, or preparing for your next development milestone. You'll also have opportunities to participate in leadership development programming and community events that go beyond your core technical work.
About the team
We are intentional about building pathways for early career talent, creating opportunities for people who bring fresh perspectives to cloud technology. This isn't a "sink or swim" program — you'll have a dedicated mentor who coaches you throughout the program, an onboarding buddy to help you navigate Amazon culture, and a manager focused on your development. You'll join a tight-knit cohort culture with regular team activities, peer learning, and social events — our hubs offer collaborative workspaces where you're surrounded by peers and leaders who want to see you succeed. You'll work across industries, customer sizes, and technology domains, giving you a breadth of experience that accelerates your career faster than a traditional single-team placement.
