- This is a role for someone who wants to own outcomes, not just track them. You'll embed directly with the sales leaders who own a public sector market, working backwards from their top priorities to decide where engineering can change the outcome - and getting a high-caliber engineering team into the room early, before problems become escalations. It's a seat with real access: you'll build trusted relationships with senior sales and solution leaders, shape what gets built
- see your work accelerate how governments, healthcare and research organizations, educational institutions
- mission-critical agencies adopt the cloud and AI. What sets this role apart: - You partner upstream with the leaders who own a market - working backwards from their biggest priorities rather than waiting for work to be handed down. - You own a portfolio of engineering engagements end-to-end - from deciding what's worth building, through delivery, to handing a finished solution off to the customer or partner who will run with it. - You work at the intersection of Sales, Solution Architecture
- you're the one who drives where scarce engineering capacity creates the most impact. - You measure success by scaled impact - solutions that many customers can reuse - not one-off projects. - You'll co-build alongside AWS service teams and partners on problems that genuinely can't be solved any other way, using AI both to accelerate how we build and to deliver AI-powered solutions to customers. If you're customer obsessed, comfortable with ambiguity
- energized by turning "this can't be done" into "here's how we did it," we'd love to talk. Key job responsibilities - Anticipate where your verticals are heading and shape strategy, getting engineering involved early where it makes the biggest difference - including where AI is the critical path - Own the framework that decides which opportunities receive engineering investment when demand exceeds capacity, weighing scale, reuse, complexity, time-to-impact
- delivery risk - Set and apply the bar that qualifies an engagement - scalability, reusability, multi-customer applicability, force-multiplier potential - and make the hard calls on those that don't clear it - Work side by side with engineers through the build, making the architecture, scoping
- tradeoff decisions that determine success - you own the technical outcome, not just the schedule - Drive co-build execution hands-on with AWS Service Teams and Partners, applying AI to accelerate delivery and create reusable patterns that benefit many customers - Own delivery end-to-end from qualification through transfer, resolving technical and cross-team ambiguity without escalation - Keep leadership current on investments, outcomes
- realized impact - Influence peers and partner teams
- mentor less-experienced engineers and program managers About the team AWS Worldwide Public Sector Engineering (WWPSE) is a field-deployed engineering and AI team that unblocks top public sector priorities - helping partners scale, reinforcing AWS Service Teams
- building solutions that endure. You'll be an embedded engineering lead in one of our verticals - US Federal (FedFin, FedCiv), Healthcare & Life Sciences
- State/Local Government & Education - working across Sales, Solution Architecture
- applying AI to how we build and what we deliver. This is a hands-on delivery role, not a coordination one: you're in the build with engineers, making the technical calls, accountable for the outcome.
