Description

This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP). Specialists own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for their respective technology domains, providing the business and technical expertise to help our customers succeed. Partner teams own the strategy, recruiting, development, and growth of our key technology and consulting partners. Together they provide our customers with the expertise and scale needed to build innovative solutions for their most complex challenges.

Are you passionate about scaling deep technical expertise across a global practitioner community through innovative badge programs and using AI to scale the content development and delivery? Do you want to define how AWS grows a worldwide community of Amazon Connect subject matter experts through world-class digital credentialing, rigorous assessments, and AI-assisted authoring tools?

As a Senior Specialist Solutions Architect on the Applied AI Acceleration team, you will own the end-to-end design, development, and continuous improvement of Training & Certification badge programs for Amazon Connect. This role combines contact center architecture expertise with AI-powered innovation to create learning experiences that scale Amazon Connect expertise globally. Amazon Connect powers over 6 billion AI-powered interactions per year for tens of thousands of customers, and the badge ecosystem expanded in 2025 with a new Administrator track featuring five specialized badges alongside the existing technical track.

You will develop and refine AI-powered frameworks for scalable badge content creation, engineer prompt templates for course modules, hands-on lab scenarios, knowledge checks, and assessment items. You will serve as the technical authority bridging Amazon Connect engineering teams and the T&C team, translating new feature releases and AI capabilities (such as AI agents in Amazon Connect, predictive dialers, FCS) into training content.

You will work in close interlock with Amazon Connect service teams, GTM, and Enablement/TFC to ensure technical accuracy, maintain a high-quality bar, and surface structured product and voice-of-customer feedback.
