Sr. Application Architect

The AWS Professional Services organization is a global team of experts that help customers realize their desired business outcomes when using the AWS Cloud. We work together with customer teams and the AWS Partner Network (APN) to execute enterprise cloud computing initiatives. Our team provides assistance through a collection of offerings which help customers achieve specific outcomes related to enterprise cloud adoption. We also deliver focused guidance through our global specialty practices, which cover a variety of solutions, technologies, and industries. We are looking for a Senior Application Architect to design and deliver modern, cloud-native applications for AWS Professional Services (ProServe) India customers. In this role, you will own the technical architecture of complex customer engagements, from application assessment and modernization strategy through design, build, and production go-live. You will advise senior customer engineering leaders on how to re-architect, migrate, and modernize their application portfolios on AWS. The ideal candidate is a hands-on architect with deep software engineering and IT consulting experience and a proven track record of delivering large-scale distributed applications for enterprise customers. You can work through ambiguous problems with limited guidance and make sound architectural trade-offs across cost, performance, security, and resilience. You thrive in a fast-paced, growth environment, insist on the highest standards, and enjoy mentoring engineers and turning proven patterns into reusable assets for the wider team. You will lead technical workstreams made up of AWS consultants, partners, and customer developers, and set the architecture direction across microservices, containers, serverless, APIs, data integration, and DevOps practices. You are expected to write and review code, produce architecture artifacts, run design reviews, and resolve technical risks before they affect delivery. You will also support pre-sales by shaping solution designs and estimates, earn customer trust through technical credibility, and use AI/GenAI (including AI-assisted development tools) to speed up how applications are designed and built. In this capacity you will be based in India and are expected to travel occasionally (30-40%). You will report into the India ProServe Application Architecture Delivery Practice Manager.
