DESCRIPTION

Job Summary

Do you have a builder's mentality where "show me" means more than "tell me"? Are you passionate about technology and AI, understand cloud architectures and platforms, and quick to adopt emerging technologies? Are you adept at working with customers to experiment with innovative approaches and validate technical feasibility?

As trusted customer advocates, the Prototyping and Customer Engineering (PACE) team helps customers create early iterations of products and solutions, often exploring new technical grounds. We're seeking experienced technologists who possess a unique balance of technical depth, business acumen, and strong interpersonal skills.

As a Solutions Developer, you will partner with customers and AWS account and service teams to craft highly scalable, flexible, and resilient solutions that address customer business problems and accelerate AWS adoption. You ll shape and build prototypes across domains including Machine Learning, Agentic Design, Serverless Architecture, and multi-modal Generative AI—with most projects exploring the art of the possible using the latest methods, frameworks, services, and models.

You ll work across industry verticals including automotive, energy, healthcare, telecommunications, manufacturing, and media and entertainment. The ability to connect technology with measurable business value is critical—you will help drive revenue growth and strategic outcomes for customers, influencing adoption decisions and accelerating customer success with AWS.

You ll own key development tasks from design through implementation with some supervision, delivering to a high standard. You ll establish trust by defining clear paths forward and reviewing them with senior team members for feedback. You ll contribute on larger projects with others and in some cases independently on smaller ones.

Scale and Impact:
You ll work to identify ways to invent and simplify, by contributing to scaling and code reuse projects within the team.
