We are passionate about what we build and how we build it. From architecture and design to coding and delivery, we approach each project with an agile mindset, continuously analyzing goals and business needs to ensure optimal outcomes.

RevStar is seeking a highly skilled and customer-focused Solutions Architect to provide technical leadership throughout the pre-sales lifecycle. This role specializes in AWS AI/ML, data platforms, and cloud migrations, working closely with Account Executives, AWS field teams, and internal delivery teams to scope, architect, and validate customer solutions.

The Solutions Architect is responsible for technical discovery, solution design, migration strategy, architecture validation, and estimation, ensuring proposed solutions are secure, scalable, cost-aware, and aligned with AWS best practices.

• Self-Mastery: We hold a high bar for how we think, communicate, and improve.

• Partner with Account Executives during AWS co-sell motions to validate use cases, migration paths, and technical fit
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to customers throughout the pre-sales process

• Clearly explain architectural tradeoffs, migration risks, and implementation options to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

AI, ML & Data Expertise

• Scope AI and ML solutions including data ingestion, feature engineering, training, inference, and MLOps workflows
• Design Generative AI architectures using AWS services such as Bedrock, SageMaker, vector databases, and RAG patterns
• Architect modern data platforms including batch and streaming pipelines, analytics layers, and visualization tooling
• Ensure solution designs align with governance, security, compliance, and data residency requirements

Costing, Estimation & Planning

• Build AWS cost estimates using the AWS Pricing Calculator
• Provide high-level implementation timelines and phased delivery plans, including migration sequencing
• Identify cost drivers, scaling considerations, and optimization opportunities early in the sales cycle
• Support proposal and SOW development by supplying:
• Technical scope and migration assumptions
• Dependencies, risks, and constraints
• Provide technical inputs required for AWS funding requests (e.g., PoCs, migrations, credits) in coordination with Account Executive

Internal Collaboration & Enablement

• Collaborate with delivery and engineering teams to validate feasibility, migration approach, and scope before deal close
• Ensure clean handoff from pre-sales to delivery with documented architectures, migration plans, and assumptions
• Share feedback on customer needs, technical trends, and emerging AWS services

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
