Senior Solutions Developer, Prototyping and Customer Engineering; PACE

Do you have a builder’s mentality where “show me” means more than “tell me”? Are you passionate about technology, understand cloud architectures & platforms and quick to pick up emerging technologies? Are you adept at working with customers to experiment with innovative approaches and the validate the technical feasibility of solutions?

As trusted customer advocates, the Prototyping and Customer Engineering (PACE) team helps customers in creating the early iterations of products and solutions, often exploring new technical grounds. The team is looking for experienced and motivated technologists who possess a unique balance of technical depth and strong interpersonal and writing skills.

As a prototype developer, you will partner with customers and other AWS teams to craft solutions that address customer use cases and accelerate the adoption of AWS. You will help shape and build prototypes covering a spread of domains across a range of industry verticals like automotive, energy, health care, telco, manufacturing and media and entertainment. Self‑guided time management and disciplined execution are critical to success.

You will help shape and build prototypes covering a spread of domains such as AI/ML, AR/VR/Spatial, IoT and Serverless. Most prototypes explore the art of the possible with Generative AI.

• Have a passion for educating, training, designing, and building cloud solutions for a diverse and challenging set of customers which are primarily large enterprises.
• The ideal candidate will have past experience working as a developer or hands‑on solutions architect. You will keep your existing technical skills honed and develop new ones. You will regularly take part in deep‑dive education and design exercises to create world‑class solutions built on AWS.
• As a technical leader, you combine design and architecture knowledge with development capability (i.e. comfortable on the white‑board and also on the keyboard).
• You will engage often in early stages of customer use‑cases and in competitive situations. Dealing with ambiguity, strong communication, and being hands‑on are important qualities – you will often be the lead technical person in the room and collaborate with other senior leaders from technical and business domains.

• Be great fun to work with. At AWS, we have a credo of “Work hard. Have fun. Make history”.

• Identify opportunities to scale your impact through internal and external‑facing initiatives.
• Mentor others.

While on a customer prototype engagement, you will work collaboratively with other developers, a Customer Success Manager and specialists to deliver results. The small team working on the prototype will change from project to project based on availability, specialized skills required and career‑growth interests.
