AI Summary
Design and architect SAP solutions on AWS for US federal, defense, and intelligence agencies. Lead solution delivery across pre-sales, implementation, migration, and optimization in regulated environments. Requires US citizenship, Secret security clearance, and deep SAP/AWS expertise.

Job description

from Amazon careers
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.
