Description

Developers and development teams are key influencers who steer organizational adoption of new technologies, services, and platforms. The mission of the Developer Acceleration (DevAx) team within PACE is to help developers gain greater familiarity and confidence building AI/Agentic applications, and to accelerate the path from prototype to production at scale.

As a Principal DevAx Solutions Architect within PACE, you will be at the forefront of emerging technology adoption, with a particular focus on Generative AI, Agentic AI, and AI-native application architectures. You will help customers understand and harness the transformative potential of services like Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Nova, and Frontier Agents, translating these forefront capabilities into practical, production-ready solutions that address real business problems. You will continuously sharpen and apply your expertise in the full AI development lifecycle to upskill developers and development teams on AWS services.

As a trusted advisor with proven technical expertise developing full-stack solutions on AWS, you will share recommendations around system and application architectures, security and cost considerations, performance, reliability, and operational efficiency to accelerate customers' most challenging, mission-critical projects.

Internally, you will be the voice of the customer. You will synthesize observations from customer engagements and market trends around custom-developed and AI-native workloads to inform the roadmap of AWS service teams.
