The posting
If you want to explore the frontier of AI and prove what it can do, alongside great engineers and ambitious customers, we'd love to hear from you. You will be a Prototyping Architect in the AWS PACE (Prototyping and AI Customer Engineering) team, based in Paris. - You are a hands-on AI builder who combines deep technical expertise with excellent interpersonal skills, helping enterprises across France and Europe South turn their most ambitious ideas into working technology proofpoints on AWS, with generative AI and agentic systems at the core of what you build. - You work at the intersection of emerging technology and real customer problems. You take an ambiguous business challenge and co-build a real technical implementation of the solution, bringing generative AI, agentic systems, and cloud-native architectures together into a working prototype that proves what is possible on AWS. - You thrive in ambiguity. Your customers are navigating generational technology shifts, foundation models, autonomous agents, intelligent automation, and you help them cut through the noise, make crisp technical decisions, and move fast. You work backwards from customer outcomes, you insist on the highest standards in design and delivery, and you grow at the frontier of the field. - You spend most of your time hands-on-keyboard, pair-programming with customer engineers and alongside Prototype Engagement Managers, Solutions Architects, Specialists and partners. You deliver multi-week engagements that de-risk transformation and accelerate customers' paths to production. Just as importantly, you leave the customer's team more capable than you found them, transferring the skills and reusable foundations they need to take the solution forward themselves. This role is based in Paris, with French and English used day to day, and supports customers across France and the Europe South region.
Key job responsibilities ● You partner with the Prototype Engagement Manager and local stakeholders across France and Europe South to technically qualify and scope new prototype opportunities. ● You support customers' agentic transformation with AWS, translating concrete business use cases into buildable prototypes and accelerating the path from idea to measurable business value and production adoption. ● You lead the design and implementation of prototype architectures, working alongside prototyping architects, solutions architects and other stakeholders, with a focus on Generative AI and agentic technologies (Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon SageMaker). ● You deliver 3 to 6 week hands-on prototype projects with customers and partners in agile, collaborative development engagements. ● You drive continuous technical enablement and knowledge transfer to the customers and partners you work with, including modern AI-assisted development practices (AI-DLC, coding assistants such as Kiro and Claude Code). ● You develop and present technical demonstrations to senior business and technical leaders, and document your projects as appropriate, including the prototype report and path-to-production recommendations. ● You collaborate proactively with the wider AWS community, such as Solutions Architects and Service and Solution teams, to ensure the best possible customer outcomes during engagements. ● You develop reusable technical assets from your engagements and share them across the PACE, EMEA and worldwide AWS builder community.
