The posting

Robots & Pencils is seeking a seasoned AWS AI Solutions Architect to lead the design and delivery of complex, enterprise-grade generative and agentic AI systems built on Amazon Web Services. You will architect scalable, secure, and production-ready AI platforms leveraging Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, AWS Strands Agents, AWS AgentCore Gateway, Nova Forge, Nova 2 Sonic, and related AWS AI/ML services.

As an AWS AI Solutions Architect, you will serve as a strategic technical advisor—translating ambiguity into structured AWS-native architectures, validating designs through hands-on prototyping, and ensuring every solution aligns with the AWS Well-Architected Framework (including ML Lens) while delivering measurable business value.

Key Responsibilities

Client Engagement & AWS Solutions Architecture

  • Serve as the primary AWS AI architecture partner for strategic clients, driving generative and agentic AI system design from discovery through production.
  • Lead architecture design using Amazon Bedrock (including foundation models and custom models), Bedrock AgentCore, AWS Strands Agents, and AWS AgentCore Gateway.
  • Design advanced RAG, Agentic RAG, and multi-agent orchestration architectures leveraging AWS-native services such as Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, Aurora (pgvector), and OpenSearch.
  • Produce AWS reference architectures, architecture decision records (ADRs), and implementation roadmaps aligned to business objectives.
  • Validate feasibility through hands-on prototyping in Python using Bedrock SDKs, SageMaker, and serverless services.
  • Ensure architectures follow AWS security best practices (IAM, KMS, VPC, PrivateLink) and cost optimization principles.

Outcome Ownership & Business Impact

  • Own architectural integrity from concept through production deployment on AWS.
  • Align solutions with AWS Well-Architected Framework pillars: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability.
  • Guide clients through tradeoff decisions across model selection (Bedrock FMs vs custom SageMaker models), latency, cost, governance, and compliance. Accelerate time-to-value through reusable AWS accelerators, Infrastructure as Code (CloudFormation/Terraform/CDK), and CI/CD automation.
  • Continuously evaluate emerging AWS AI capabilities (Nova Forge, Nova 2 Sonic, Bedrock updates, and new AgentCore capabilities).

Engineering Leadership & Delivery Excellence

  • Provide architectural oversight to Forward Deployed Engineers and AWS delivery teams.
  • Establish best practices for MLOps on AWS including model lifecycle management, monitoring, and observability using SageMaker, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and AWS Config.
  • Define governance, responsible AI guardrails, Bedrock Guardrails configuration, and security controls for enterprise environments.
  • Mentor engineers on AWS AI service integration, distributed systems design, and secure multi-account strategies.
  • Make principled tradeoffs under constraints related to privacy, compliance (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR), cost, and operational complexity.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with internal product, engineering, research, and customer success teams to evolve AWS-based AI offerings.
  • Contribute AWS reference architectures and reusable infrastructure modules to internal accelerators.
  • Support pre-sales engagements including architecture workshops, AWS migration strategy, and solution scoping.
  • Collaborate across distributed teams and client stakeholders across North America.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • 7–10+ years of experience in software engineering or cloud architecture with deep AWS ownership.
  • Deep expertise in Amazon Bedrock, Bedrock AgentCore, AWS Strands Agents, AgentCore Gateway, and related AWS AI services.
  • Strong familiarity with SageMaker (training, deployment, pipelines), deep learning fundamentals, and model fine-tuning strategies.
  • Experience architecting RAG, multi-agent, and orchestration systems using AWS-native services.
  • Strong knowledge of distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and serverless patterns.
  • Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK, CloudFormation, Terraform).
  • Hands-on development capability in Python and AWS SDKs.
  • Experience implementing observability and monitoring strategies in AWS environments.
  • Proven success leading enterprise-scale AWS transformations.
  • Exceptional communication skills for both technical and executive audiences.
  • AWS Professional Certifications highly preferred (AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, AWS DevOps Engineer – Professional).

Nice to Have

  • AWS Specialty certifications (Machine Learning – Specialty, Security – Specialty).
  • Experience with advanced agentic reasoning patterns (ReAct,CoT, Tree-of-Thoughts) implemented on Bedrock.
  • Experience building secure multi-account AWS organizations using Control Tower.
  • Exposure to data engineering services such as Glue, Redshift, Lake Formation.
  • Consulting or professional services background.

Personal Competencies

  • Accountability – Owns AWS architectural direction and client outcomes with rigor.
  • Adaptability – Rapidly adopts new AWS AI releases and evolving generative AI capabilities.
  • Collaboration – Builds trust across engineering and executive stakeholders.
  • Execution-Focused – Balances innovation with production-ready AWS delivery.
  • Innovation-Minded – Experiments responsibly with emerging AWS AI services.
  • Craftsmanship – Designs secure, scalable, and well-documented AWS systems.
  • Leadership with Courage – Drives architectural alignment in complex environments.
  • Comfort in Ambiguity – Translates unclear AI requirements into AWS-native solution architectures.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
