Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking an experienced SAP Solutions Architect to help public sector customers design, migrate, and modernize their SAP landscapes on AWS. In this role, you will work across federal civilian, defense, and intelligence community agencies, partnering with SAP NS2, systems integrators, and internal AWS teams to deliver mission-critical outcomes in regulated environments.

This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and obtain and maintain an active Secret security clearance.

Key job responsibilities

  • Design and architect SAP solutions on AWS aligned to public sector mission outcomes across federal civilian, defense, and intelligence community customers.
  • Work closely with SAP, systems integrators, and internal AWS teams to drive joint solution delivery for government agencies.
  • Provide technical leadership across the full lifecycle: pre-sales, implementation, migration, and optimization with emphasis on regulated environments.
  • Lead architecture reviews, solution design, and technical strategy for SAP workloads including SAP RISE with AWS, S/4HANA Cloud, BTP, and SAP AI services (Joule, AI Foundation, Business AI).
  • Build executive and technical stakeholder relationships with government CIOs/CTOs, mission owners, and partner leadership.
  • Support RFPs/RFIs, workshops, customer presentations, and public sector GTM activities including agency-specific capture efforts.
  • Mentor junior architects and scale best practices for SAP on AWS in government contexts.
  • Stay current on SAP technologies (RISE with SAP, S/4HANA, BTP, SAP AI services), cloud modernization, and public sector regulatory/compliance trends.

A day in the life

No two days look the same. You might start with a whiteboard session designing a FedRAMP-compliant architecture for a federal agency migrating to SAP on AWS, then jump to a call with SAP NS2 engineering to unblock a joint integration. After lunch, you"re leading a technical deep-dive with a DoD customer evaluating GenAI capabilities, followed by connecting with your partner development manager on pipeline strategy. You"ll balance hands-on technical work - writing reference architectures, building proofs of concept - with strategic partner engagement, all in service of helping government customers modernize faster.

About the team

We"re the WWPS ISV Partner Solutions Architecture team - a group of SAs embedded with strategic software partners serving U.S. and Global public sector and regulated industry customers. We sit at the intersection of AWS and our ISV partners, helping government agencies modernize by bringing the best of both platforms together. Our SAP-focused SAs work hands-on with SAP NS2 and SAP Public Services to architect cloud-native solutions that meet the unique compliance, security, and scale requirements of federal customers. We"re technical, customer-obsessed, and thrive on solving hard problems with real mission impact.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
