About the job
We are looking for a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer to embed directly with Product Managers and marketing teams across AWS. You'll turn their highest-friction workflows into AI-first systems where AI agents can reinvent how work gets done. Your role: figure out what the future-state workflow needs to look like, design how agents and humans collaborate within it, wire the systems together, and drive the effort from prototype to production. You are the connective tissue between what's possible and what actually ships.
Responsibilities
Build to learn. Take identified opportunities and turn them into working prototypes using model APIs, agent frameworks, and lightweight code. Compress the distance from idea to conviction.
Design the human-agent experience. Define where humans stay in the loop, at which steps, and with what controls. Shape how marketers discover and interact with agents, and how agents collaborate with each other through protocols, context passing, and trust signals.
Turn validated prototypes into production architectures. Partner with engineering to move from "this works" to "this ships". Defining the technical path, integration points, and data contracts that make a prototype durable.
Own agent quality in production. Define evaluation frameworks, set quality thresholds, monitor drift after model or data changes, and drive continuous improvement based on real usage.
Build the scaffolding that accelerates the team. Create reusable patterns, agent templates, integration blueprints, and reference architectures that make PMs and engineers faster at shipping AI-native workflows.
Evangelize what's possible. Run workshops and provocations that help stakeholders experience the future through working artifacts, not decks. Turn skeptics into co-owners by putting working software in their hands.
Qualifications
Minimum
6+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
6+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
6+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
Strong technical fluency: comfort working directly with engineers, understanding system architectures, and integrating across APIs, MCPs, and data pipelines
Demonstrated ability to build functional prototypes or near-production artifacts using AI/ML tools, no-code/low-code platforms, or direct coding, not just writing requirements for others to build
Preferred
Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
Experience in Forward Deployed, Solutions PM, or Field PM roles embedded directly with customer teams rather than within a single product silo
Experience building or managing AI agent systems, orchestration frameworks, or multi-agent architectures
Background in creative workflows, content management systems, digital asset management, localization platforms, or compliance/governance systems
Experience designing and facilitating workshops, design sprints, or structured ideation sessions with senior stakeholders
Experience leading cross-functional teams (engineering, design, data science, marketing) to deliver products with measurable business impact
