Are you passionate about using AI to change customers' lives for the better? The Alexa International team is looking for a Senior Solutions Architect to drive adoption of Alexa+ across some of our most strategic 3P partners in the Americas, with a focus on Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. Alexa+ is Amazon's next-generation personal AI assistant, rebuilt from the ground up on a modern architecture that orchestrates large language models (LLMs), agentic pipelines, and connected services at scale.
As a Senior Solutions Architect for the Americas, you'll serve as the technical face of Amazon for our partners, owning the integration lifecycle from first technical engagement through production launch. You'll work hands-on with partner engineering teams to design, validate, and ship integrations that feel native to Alexa+, while building the playbooks, reference architectures, and documentation that will scale the program beyond 1:1 engagement.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience with modern integration protocols (including MCP), agentic system design, strong programming skills, and full-stack fluency across backend services, API layers, and front-end rendering. You have a track record of delivering complex multi-party integrations and can move fluidly between a deep technical conversation with a partner's engineering team and a strategic discussion with their leadership.
Key job responsibilities
- Technical Delivery & Partner Integration: Design and deliver end-to-end partner integration solutions leveraging modern protocols and agentic patterns (e.g., MCP, tool-calling, REST), ensuring experiences feel native to Alexa+ while respecting partner brand and capabilities. Work hands-on with partners to assess technical readiness, architect solutions across the full stack — from backend services and API design to front-end rendering — and troubleshoot complex integration challenges across multiple device surfaces.
- Frameworks & Scalable Enablement: Create reusable integration patterns, technical documentation, and onboarding playbooks that accelerate future partner launches and reduce hands-on SA effort over time. Develop reference architectures that leverage horizontal capabilities (compositional rendering, streaming, smart routing) to address common partner needs across categories.
- Partner & Product Influence: Own technical relationships with partner engineering and product teams, guiding integrations from commitment through launch. Collaborate with product leadership during early capability formation, directly shaping the roadmap based on real partner integration learnings.
A day in the life: We're looking for a highly motivated Sr SA to join the Alexa+ International team as we build out the third-party integration program from the ground up. You'll engage in deep technical design discussions, solve novel challenges spanning agentic architectures and front-end rendering, and coordinate feature implementations across partner categories. You'll represent the partner perspective with internal product and engineering teams, using integration learnings, data-driven analysis, and a working-backwards approach to influence roadmap priorities.
About the team: Our mission is to enable third-party partners to bring their agentic capabilities and services to Alexa+ through the Americas, creating high-quality experiences across consumer categories that help customers get things done. We are a small, high-impact team of technologists bridging BD, internal product and engineering, and external partners. We're in our foundational year — building the integration model, establishing the playbook, and launching our first wave of strategic partners. If you thrive in ambiguity, enjoy building from scratch, and want to shape a program that will scale to hundreds of partners, this is the team.
Basic Qualifications
- 8+ years of specific technology domain areas (e.g. software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics) experience
- 10+ years of IT development or implementation/consulting in the software or Internet industries experience
- Experience communicating across technical and non-technical audiences, including executive level stakeholders or clients

- Must be fluent in English plus one of the following (Spanish, Portuguese, and/or Canadian French).
