Data Analyst Edtech Jobs in Austin, TX (NOW HIRING)

Across educational institutions, the software that powers everyday learning experiences is being rebuilt around generative AI and agentic systems. We are looking for a Solutions Architect who wants to be at the front of that wave, helping EdTech ISVs reimagine their products on AWS so the institutions who depend on them can do more with less.
AWS is hiring a Senior Solutions Architect to accelerate our EdTech business inside the Worldwide Public Sector organization. You will work directly with the leadership and engineering teams of ISVs whose software powers K-12 schools, higher education instutions and more. Your job is to help them architect, build, and scale modern AWS-native applications, with a particular focus on generative AI, agentic patterns, and the data foundations that make both work in regulated environments.
As an SA on this team, you will guide product and platform decisions, lead deep technical discussions on architecture and security, and help these customers turn AI prototypes into production systems that students, faculty, and learners of all ages can rely on.
A lot of this work is foundational. You will help customers pick the right compute, design durable and well-modeled data architectures across relational, NoSQL, and analytics stores, get networking and identity right, and run cost-effectively at scale. The AI capabilities your customers want to ship are only as good as the platforms underneath them, and you will spend real time on those primitives.
Please apply if you are passionate about the following:
- Helping our customers to design and create cloud computing architectures
- Our company credo: "Work hard. Have fun. Make history." It's critical to love what you do and take pride in your value proposition to our customers.
- Deep-dive technical discussions around design and an intellectual curiosity to always keep your technical skills current while maintaining a pulse on industry trends.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the technical engagement and outcomes for a portfolio of EdTech ISV engagements, from discovery through production scale.
- Lead technical deep-dives, whiteboarding sessions, and executive briefings.
- Guide foundational architecture decisions across compute, storage, networking, identity, and databases, helping customers choose between EC2, EKS, ECS, and Lambda, and across RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB, and analytics services for the workload at hand.
- Lead architecture and design conversations on generative AI applications built on Amazon Bedrock, including agentic patterns, retrieval, evaluations, and guardrails appropriate for public-sector workloads.
- Partner with customers on the security, data-governance, and architectural decisions that shape how their products serve their customers.
- Help customers modernize core platforms onto AWS using containers, serverless, and managed data services so their AI roadmap has a foundation to stand on, and help them tune those platforms for performance, reliability, and cost as they scale.
- Stay current with the AWS service roadmap and the EdTech market, and translate both into concrete recommendations for your customers.
- Ability to travel up to 30%.
