At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we are helping the federal government build and use AI on the AWS Cloud. We are AI to large volumes of data and against a wide spectrum of problems.
Generative AI is rapidly growing in importance. We’re seeing more and more amazing AI work being done from simple back office applications to complex mission changing agentic workflows.

This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and obtain and maintain an active Top Secret security clearance.
Key job responsibilities
As a Machine Learning Specialist Solutions Architect (SA), you will be the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for designing generative AI solutions that leverage AWS services to automate solutions and drive down costs for customers. As part of the Specialist Solutions Architecture team, you will work closely with the other Specialist SAs to enable large-scale customer use cases and drive the adoption of AWS for AI platforms. You will interact with other SAs in the field, providing guidance on their customer engagements, and you will develop white papers, blogs, reference implementations, and presentations to enable customers and partners to fully leverage AI on AWS. You will also create field enablement materials for the broader SA population, to help them understand how to integrate AWS AI solutions into customer architectures.
You must have deep technical experience working with technologies related to artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, or generative AI.
