About the Role

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Secure AI Solution Architect to join our APJC Customer Security team in a content-and-frameworks role. Customers across the region are asking the same questions about building securely with AI - how to give autonomous agents an identity, how to defend against prompt injection, how to govern the AI development lifecycle, how to evidence AI governance for a regulator. The approaches that answer these questions are being proved with customers today; what's missing is the layer that turns them into clean, documented, deployable patterns the whole field can use. You build that layer. Working hands-on, you take validated approaches and turn them into reference implementations that work out of the box. You test them against real customer requirements, then package them into a published library that Solutions Architects across the region draw on. Your work is the difference between a pattern proved once and a pattern the whole region can reuse. You are technically self-sufficient: you write the code, build the reference implementation, test it, and document it so a Solutions Architect in any area can adopt it without specialist presence. We are looking for a builder who enjoys taking a defined but difficult technical problem and turning it into an elegant, well-documented answer others can build on. Deep AWS experience helps but is not required at entry; we can teach the services. What we need is strong hands-on technical craft, security depth, and the instinct to build things that scale beyond yourself. Key job responsibilities You start the morning building out an agentic-identity reference implementation that two areas have asked for. A customer engagement last week surfaced a gap around cross-account tool-use authorisation; you build the fix, test it, and update the library entry so every area gets the improved version. Mid-morning you join a session with the AgentCore service team. You bring the field data - what APJC custome

Responsibilities

  • Take validated Secure AI approaches (agentic-AI identity patterns, AI security frameworks, AI development lifecycle controls, guardrail and governance-evidence patterns) and build them into clean, deployable reference implementations - working code, not slideware.
  • Test each pattern against real customer requirements to confirm it holds, then package it into the published library that the field draws on.
  • Write the code, reference architectures, and documentation to a standard that a Solutions Architect or partner in any APJC area can adopt without specialist presence.
  • Work with the AWS service teams (Bedrock, AgentCore, SageMaker) - bringing field requirements and customer data into the product conversation and taking away clarity to turn into guidance.
  • Stay current on the AWS AI and security product set, translating new and upcoming capability into field-ready reference implementations as it lands.
  • Surface customer needs and gaps as feature requests, contributing to the feedback loop that shapes what ships next.
  • 4+ years of specific technology domain areas (e.g. software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics) experience
  • 2+ years of design, implementation, or consulting in applications and infrastructures experience

Requirements

  • Experience working within software development or Internet-related industries
  • Experience migrating or transforming legacy customer solutions to the cloud
  • Experience working with AWS technologies from a dev/ops perspective
