Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a Prototyping Architect with strong software engineering skills and a passion for building innovative solutions that show customers the art of the possible. You will join the Prototyping and AI Customer Engineering (PACE) team, an agile group of builders obsessed with understanding customer needs and partnering with them to experiment with new ideas that open up new markets or transform how they deliver products and services.

In this role, you will use your software development skills to build functional prototypes using Generative AI, Agentic AI, Machine Learning, and Serverless Architectures. You will apply software engineering best practices to ensure prototypes provide a solid foundation for production solutions. We foster a creative environment where experimentation is encouraged. Move fast, learn from failures, and iterate toward breakthrough outcomes.

• Key job responsibilities
• Architect and develop functional Generative AI and Agentic AI prototypes directly with customers using AWS AI services (Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Sage Maker), including autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, RAG architectures, and LLM-powered applications that demonstrate a clear path to production
• Leverage AI-driven development tools and modern engineering practices to rapidly build and iterate on prototypes, implementing patterns such as prompt engineering, function calling, agent orchestration, and tool use
• Guide customers through complex technical decisions on LLM selection, agent design patterns, agentic architectures, and AI adoption strategies, translating business requirements into actionable technical approaches
• Partner with Technical Program Managers, Design Technologists, and field teams to deliver customer engagements on time and with high quality, while providing feedback to AWS service teams to influence AI product roadmaps
• Develop and share agent frameworks, code libraries, reference architectures, whitepapers, blogs, and conference presentations that accelerate Generative AI and Agentic AI adoption across the AWS customer base
• Continuously research and experiment with new AI/ML capabilities, agentic patterns, and cloud-native architectures to bring innovative solutions to customer engagements
• Position requires up to 25% travel within LATAM

A day in the life
Your day starts at a daily team meeting, syncing with fellow Prototyping Architects and your TPM on active engagements, blockers, and lessons from yesterday's experiments. Most of your time goes to heads-down coding: building agentic AI prototypes, testing against real customer data, making architectural trade-offs that hold up in production. You'll demo progress to customers, adjust based on their feedback, pair with Design Technologists on the experience layer, and document patterns so the next team doesn't start from scratch. Some days are deep single-engagement focus, others are a mix of code reviews, customer calls, and writing up reusable frameworks.

About the team
The Prototyping and AI Customer Engineering (PACE) team is an elite group of hands-on builders within AWS. Through rapid, time-boxed prototyping engagements, PACE helps customers explore the art of the possible with AWS, turning bold ideas into working solutions that demonstrate real business value. PACE operates at the frontier of emerging technology, with deep expertise in Generative AI, Agentic AI, AI/MAL, and modern agentic application development.
