Senior Solutions Architect, Insurance, AWS Global Financial Sevices

Are you energized by helping enterprise customers reimagine what's possible in the cloud? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to partner with one of the fastest-growing accounts in the insurance industry. In this role, you will combine deep technical knowledge of AWS services with business acumen to architect solutions that address real challenges, from modernizing legacy platforms to exploring agentic AI implementations that unlock new value across customer lines of business.

You will serve as a trusted technical advisor, working closely with customer stakeholders and internal teams to identify net new opportunities, shape technology strategy, and accelerate cloud adoption. If you enjoy translating complex business needs into practical, well-architected solutions and thrive when your work directly drives measurable growth, we want to hear from you.

• Key job responsibilities
• - Design and deliver end-to-end cloud architectures tailored to insurance industry use cases, ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, cost-optimized, and aligned with the customer's long-term business goals.
• - Lead technical discussions with customer teams, from engineers to senior executives, to build consensus on solution approaches, communicate trade-offs clearly, and influence technology strategy across lines of business.
• - Identify and develop net new opportunities by mapping AWS services, including emerging capabilities such as agentic AI, to customer pain points and growth areas.
• - Create and deliver thought leadership content such as workshops, proof-of-concept demonstrations, whitepapers, and blog posts that educate customers on cloud best practices and accelerate adoption.
• - Collaborate with sales, product, and engineering teams to relay customer feedback, shape service improvements, and contribute reusable solution patterns that benefit the broader Solutions Architecture community.

• A day in the life
• Your morning might start with a design review alongside the customer's engineering team, working through the architecture for a new claims-processing workload. After that, you join a strategy call with sales and business development to map upcoming opportunities across the account. In the afternoon, you prototype a proof of concept that demonstrates how AWS services can streamline an underwriting workflow, then wrap up by documenting the pattern so other architects can reuse it. Throughout, you balance deep technical work with relationship-building conversations that keep the customer's cloud journey on track.

• About the team
• Our team within AWS is focused on helping insurance industry customers accelerate their cloud journeys. We work closely with account teams, product groups, and service engineering to deliver solutions that are grounded in real business outcomes. The insurance space is evolving rapidly, and we are investing in growth, making this an exciting time to join and shape how we engage with one of our fastest-growing accounts.

We value collaboration, continuous learning, and a culture where every team member's perspective is heard. Whether you are mentoring a colleague, presenting at a customer workshop, or prototyping a new solution, your contributions will have a visible impact on both the customer and the broader AWS community.
