Amazon Prototyping Architect Cloud Engineering PACE 

United States, California 

447197684

Your role as a prototyping architect involves working with customers to develop prototypes that are foundational to production solutions. Prototyping architects are typically full stack developers who are comfortable operating with multiple languages and frameworks to develop prototypes in emerging technology areas such as AI/ML, compute at the edge, robotics, and spatial computing. You will use a variety of AWS services to rapidly develop the prototypes, leveraging modern application architectural principles. Experience with AI-driven software development tools such as Cursor, Kiro, Q Developer, Cline, Windsurf, or similar tools is highly valuable as you'll be expected to leverage these technologies to accelerate prototype development. You will gain knowledge in emerging technology and business trends, allowing you to share your insights through publicly shared design patterns, blogs, white papers, and reusable assets (i.e. reusable packaged code).Key job responsibilities- Drive the AWS platform by aligning customer requirements with AWS service teams’ roadmaps
