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.

hubs offer collaborative workspaces where you're surrounded by peers and leaders
