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. You'll be part of a culture that values technical depth, clear communication, and the satisfaction of removing blockers that help internal customers succeed with their most critical data initiatives.

Map your degree to specialty occupation requirements
USCIS requires Solutions Architect roles to qualify as a specialty occupation under the H-1B1 Chile framework. Pull the O*NET profile for your occupation code and confirm your degree field aligns directly with the role's technical requirements before applying.
Verify your employer files an LCA first
Your employer must obtain a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL before you can apply at the consulate. Confirm they've completed this step and that the certified LCA reflects your actual job title, worksite, and prevailing wage level.
Check prevailing wage against your offer using OFLC Wage Search
DOL sets wage floors by occupation code and metro area. Run your job title and worksite ZIP through the OFLC Wage Search to confirm your offered salary meets the Level I or Level II threshold before negotiations close.
Target employers already comfortable with treaty-based visas
Search Migrate Mate to identify employers with active H-1B1 Chile or TN visa filing history. Companies already using treaty-based nonimmigrant categories understand the consulate-only process and are less likely to stall on sponsorship over unfamiliarity.
Prepare for consular intent questions specific to your role
H-1B1 Chile carries no dual-intent protection, so consular officers assess nonimmigrant intent directly. Bring documentation showing your Chilean ties, a defined project scope, and evidence the Solutions Architect role has a fixed or renewable term.
Time your application around LCA certification windows
DOL targets LCA certification within seven business days, but worksite-specific notices and public access file requirements take additional time. Build at least three weeks between your accepted offer and your planned consulate appointment to avoid gaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Solutions Architect role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes, Solutions Architect roles consistently qualify because they require a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, engineering, or a closely related technical field. The key requirement is that the degree must be directly related to the role's core duties. If your employer's job description lists broad responsibilities that could be filled by any business graduate, USCIS and consular officers may push back, so make sure the posting specifies a technical degree as a minimum requirement.
How does H-1B1 Chile differ from H-1B for Solutions Architects?
The H-1B1 Chile visa skips the annual lottery entirely, carries a separate 1,400-visa cap that has never been exhausted, and is processed at the U.S. consulate in Chile rather than through a USCIS petition. That means faster timelines and no random selection risk. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 Chile does not carry dual-intent protection, so you cannot use it as a direct stepping stone to a green card the way H-1B holders sometimes can.
How do I find Solutions Architect employers who sponsor H-1B1 Chile visas?
Use Migrate Mate to filter for employers with verified H-1B1 Chile and treaty-based visa filing history in the technology and cloud infrastructure sectors. Companies that have sponsored similar roles before understand the LCA and consulate process, which significantly shortens the timeline from offer to approval compared to employers encountering the visa category for the first time.
Can my employer sponsor H-1B1 Chile if they've only filed H-1B petitions before?
Yes. The H-1B1 Chile process uses the same LCA filing through DOL, so employers with existing H-1B experience can sponsor you without major procedural changes. The main difference is that instead of filing an I-129 with USCIS, you apply directly at the consulate after the LCA is certified. Most employers with an immigration attorney or in-house HR team can handle the adjustment without starting from scratch.
What happens to my H-1B1 Chile status if my Solutions Architect role changes significantly after I arrive?
Material changes to your job duties, worksite, or employer require your sponsor to file an amended LCA with DOL and potentially restart the consulate process. If your role shifts from hands-on architecture work to primarily management with no technical delivery component, it could affect whether the position still qualifies as a specialty occupation. Notify your employer's immigration contact before accepting a promotion or role change, not after.
