You probably know this already but the SA role is about really knowing the AWS stack and building with it, though not necessarily about specialized knowledge to either build new AWS features or super custom stuff like new ML architectures, even if that knowledge is welcome.
Best thing you can probably do, as others have mentioned, is to talk to the HM and see what s/he says. It's unclear to me as to whether you'd be in a position to supervise engineering/scientist types as an SA even if you're an L6 - you may instead be a team lead for a primarily SA team.
- have a call with HM
- will present all my questions and expectations in the role and career progression
