Worldwide ISV Partner Solutions Architect , Partner Growth & Strategy (PG&S) Organization, Strategic HBA ISV
Amazon Web Services•Published 22 hours ago•First seen 2 hours ago
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Partner Solutions Architect (PSA) to join the Partner Growth & Strategy (PG&S) Organization, focused on Independent Software Vendor (ISV) partners. In this role, you will serve as a trusted technical advisor to strategic ISV partners, helping them architect, build, and optimize their solutions on AWS. You will drive deep technical engagement with ISV partners to accelerate their cloud adoption, validate joint solutions, and enable go-to-market success through co-engineering efforts, technical enablement, and solution design.
As a PSA in the Partner Growth & Strategy (PG&S) Organization, you will combine broad technical expertise with strong relationship-building skills to influence partner technology decisions, identify strategic design wins, and deliver customer value through partner-led solutions. You will work at the intersection of partner strategy and hands-on technical delivery — bridging business outcomes with cloud architecture best practices.
Key job responsibilities
Your day blends deep technical work with strategic partner engagement. Mornings often start with architecture discussions — whiteboarding a multi-tenant design on EKS or reviewing a partner’s Marketplace listing readiness. Mid-day, you’re co-engineering hands-on with a partner’s team, building a POC that integrates Amazon Bedrock into their platform. Afternoons shift to cross-functional collaboration: syncing with field SAs on customer opportunities, advocating for partner requirements with AWS service teams, or presenting a recent strategic design win to your Tech COE peers. You’ll wrap up capturing field insights, updating engagement trackers, and drafting technical content. No two days are identical, but each balances technical depth, relationship building, and measurable partner impact.
Diverse Experiences
AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
