Are you passionate about solving complex technical challenges at the intersection of innovation and impact? Join Amazon's Business Data Technologies (BDT) organization as a Solutions Architect, where you'll serve as the critical technical bridge between the teams building Amazon's data platform and the internal teams transforming how they leverage it. In this role, you'll apply your expertise in large-scale data systems architecture and cross-functional technical communication to guide internal customers through their most challenging data initiatives.
You'll lead architecture reviews for interconnected systems, translate complex technical concepts for multiple audiences simultaneously, and identify friction points across consultation patterns to drive systemic improvements. Working directly with internal Amazon teams, you'll combine deep technical knowledge with strategic thinking to accelerate data lake adoption, modernize legacy platforms, and architect scalable solutions that unlock business value across the organization.
Key job responsibilities
-
Lead architecture reviews and provide technical guidance for large-scale data systems, evaluating design choices, identifying scalability bottlenecks, security considerations, and performance optimization opportunities while ensuring solutions are extensible and aligned with best practices.
-
Define and validate technical and business requirements for interconnected, complex systems by working closely with internal Amazon teams to understand their data platform needs and architect solutions that address both immediate challenges and long-term business outcomes.
-
Deliver clear, compelling written technical communication that resonates across multiple audiences simultaneously, creating reusable content such as architecture patterns, onboarding documentation, and technical guidance that educates teams on data platform capabilities and best practices.
-
Drive root cause analysis of recurring friction points identified through consultation patterns, aggregating evidence across customer interactions to identify systemic issues and partner with product and engineering teams to translate feedback into actionable improvements.
-
Build and maintain trusted advisor relationships with key internal customers, providing ongoing architecture guidance, migration support from legacy platforms, and strategic counsel that helps teams achieve their goals with Amazon's data lake technologies.
A day in the life
Your day begins by triaging consultation requests that arrive through the team's ticket intake system, where you'll be assigned to new architecture challenges through round-robin distribution. You'll dive deep into a team's data architecture, reviewing their requirements for a large-scale migration off a legacy platform, and crafting recommendations that balance immediate needs with long-term scalability. Between consultations, you'll check in with established customers you've built relationships with, helping them navigate obstacles in their ongoing data lake initiatives and celebrating wins as they achieve key milestones with your guidance.
About the team
You'll join a tight-knit team of four Solutions Architects who serve as the technical connective tissue between Amazon's data platform builders and the diverse internal teams who depend on it. The team's mission is clear: accelerate data platform adoption across Amazon by providing architecture guidance, onboarding support, and expert migration assistance.
This team thrives on collaboration and knowledge sharing, working together to identify patterns across consultations and continuously improving how Amazon teams leverage data infrastructure.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Architect Jobs
Align your credentials with U.S. licensure expectations
USCIS evaluates your Chilean architecture degree against the U.S. specialty occupation standard. A credential evaluation confirming equivalency to a U.S. bachelor's in architecture strengthens your petition before employers ever see your portfolio.
Target firms with active federal project work
Firms working on federally funded or regulated projects already operate within compliance-heavy environments and are more familiar with visa filing requirements. Search DOL LCA disclosure data to identify architecture employers with prior H-1B1 visa or H-1B visa filings.
Search for H-1B1 Chile jobs on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate surfaces architecture employers verified through DOL Labor Condition Application data, so you're targeting firms that have already engaged with H-1B1 Chile sponsorship rather than cold-pitching companies unfamiliar with the process.
Confirm your job offer covers prevailing wage
Your employer's LCA must certify your salary meets the DOL prevailing wage for architects in the specific metro area. Cross-check the offered salary against OFLC Wage Search before signing, because a below-threshold offer will stall the LCA certification.
Get your employer to file the LCA before your visa appointment
Unlike H-1B, the H-1B1 Chile consular process requires a certified LCA but no I-129 petition filed with USCIS. Confirm your employer has DOL certification in hand at least two weeks before your scheduled consulate interview.
Use O*NET to document specialty occupation eligibility
Architecture is classified under O*NET job zone four, requiring a bachelor's degree in the specific field. Print the O*NET occupation profile and include it in your employer's supporting documentation to preempt any consular questions about specialty occupation status.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an architecture role qualify as a specialty occupation for the H-1B1 Chile visa?
Yes. Architecture requires at least a bachelor's degree in architecture specifically, which satisfies the H-1B1 Chile specialty occupation definition. USCIS guidance treats the field as a standard example of specialty occupation because the degree requirement is uniform across the profession, not discretionary at the employer level.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa compare to H-1B for Chilean architects?
The H-1B1 Chile visa skips the H-1B lottery entirely and has an annual cap of 1,400 visas that rarely fills. You apply directly at a U.S. consulate rather than through USCIS, and your employer files an LCA with DOL but no I-129 petition. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 does not permit dual intent, so it carries a stricter nonimmigrant intent standard than H-1B.
How do I find architecture firms that already sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas?
Migrate Mate filters architecture job listings by employers verified through DOL Labor Condition Application filing history, so you can focus outreach on firms that have already navigated the H-1B1 Chile process rather than educating employers from scratch. That filtering step saves significant time in a job search where employer familiarity with the visa category matters.
Can I start work before my H-1B1 Chile visa stamp is issued?
No. Unlike a USCIS-adjudicated status change, the H-1B1 Chile process requires a valid visa stamp from the consulate before you can enter and begin work in the United States. Your employer can have the LCA certified and all documents ready, but your start date must follow your consulate appointment and passport return.
What happens to my H-1B1 Chile status if my architecture firm loses the project I was hired for?
Your H-1B1 Chile status is tied to the specific employer and the LCA on file with DOL. If your role is eliminated, you lose H-1B1 status with that employer immediately. There is no grace period built into the H-1B1 category the way the 60-day H-1B grace period works, so arranging a new LCA and employer sponsorship before your last day is essential.
