Sr. Solutions Architect (Agentic WorkSpaces) – Amazon Web Services – Toronto, ON
Location: Toronto, ON | Company: Amazon
At the forefront of cloud computing and artificial intelligence, Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a bilingual Senior Solutions Architect to join the Agentic WorkSpaces team in Toronto, Ontario. This is a highly specialized role that sits at the intersection of enterprise desktop infrastructure and applied AI—an opportunity to serve as the definitive technical authority for some of Canada’s most complex public sector and enterprise clients.
Operating within the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP), you’ll own end-to-end go-to-market strategy for the Agentic WorkSpaces platform. Your day-to-day work blends deep Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) and Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) expertise with advisory-level proficiency in Large Language Model (LLM) deployment and agentic AI—all delivered in both English and French to clients across Canada’s regulated sectors.
About the Role: Senior Solutions Architect, Agentic WorkSpaces
Sixty percent of this role centres on mastery of the Agentic WorkSpaces platform. You’ll architect, deploy, and optimize solutions using Amazon WorkSpaces Personal and Core as well as Amazon WorkSpaces Applications (formerly AppStream 2.0). You’ll lead technical validation engagements, design migrations from platforms like Citrix Apps and Desktops and VMware/Omnissa Horizon, and ensure production readiness across network design, identity federation, image lifecycle management, and cost optimization. The remaining forty percent focuses on applied AI consulting—guiding customers through AI agent configuration, foundation model selection via Amazon Bedrock, prompt engineering, MCP tool integration, and agent-to-agent (A2A) communication patterns.
Canada is a strategic growth market for AWS Agentic WorkSpaces, and this role directly serves federal, provincial, and regulated-sector clients in financial services, healthcare, and the public sector. You’ll build lasting relationships with senior technical stakeholders, create reusable reference architectures, contribute to product roadmaps, and author publications including white papers and technical guides. Travel across Canada is expected at 25%–50% of the time for on-site customer engagements.
