Senior Solutions Architect (AI/GenAI Specialism)
UK Based - Fully Remote
Cloud Bridge is one of the fastest-growing AWS Premier Partners in the UK & EMEA, named AWS Rising Star Partner of the Year (EMEA 2023, UK&I 2022). We specialise in cloud consultancy, migration, managed services, cloud governance, FinOps and AI/ML, helping organisations unlock the full value of AWS. We are expanding globally with offices across the UK, Australia, South Africa, Singapore, Dubai and the Philippines.
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior Solutions Architect to join our Professional Services team on a permanent basis. You will lead on AI and GenAI engagements as your primary specialism, while also contributing across the broader AWS delivery portfolio including migration, modernisation, Landing Zone and cloud governance engagements.
You will own the client-facing pre-sales cycle for AI/GenAI work – running scoping calls, designing solutions on Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker and associated services, estimating effort, writing commercially sound Statements of Work, and providing ongoing strategic advisory to customers. Beyond AI, you will apply your broader AWS experience to scope and deliver wider Professional Services engagements as the pipeline demands.
You will act as a fractional CTO or technical programme lead for strategic accounts, maintaining long-term advisory relationships and identifying expansion opportunities across all service areas. While the primary focus is solution design and pre-sales, this role also carries hands-on delivery where capacity allows. We value architects who stay technically current and want to get their hands dirty alongside the delivery team.
Key Responsibilities
- Design AI/GenAI solutions on AWS (Amazon Bedrock, Bedrock Agents, Amazon Q, SageMaker, associated serverless and data services) and produce architecture documentation for customer engagements.
- Scope and design broader AWS solutions including migrations, Landing Zones, modernisation and cloud governance engagements as required by the pipeline.
- Run technical scoping calls with customers, translate business requirements into deliverable technical solutions, and produce accurate effort estimates across AI and wider AWS engagements.
- Author Statements of Work to Cloud Bridge quality standards – clear scope, success criteria, assumptions, risks, fee schedules and project plans.
- Navigate AWS partner funding programmes to maximise funded engagement value for customers.
- Act as fractional CTO or technical programme lead for strategic accounts – maintaining advisory relationships, identifying upsell and cross-sell, and ensuring programme coherence across multiple SOWs.
- Set technical direction for delivery engineers – reviewing architecture decisions, unblocking delivery issues and ensuring SOW deliverables are met.
