Forward Deployed Engineer, Content, Brand TEchnology and Applied AI

Amazon • Austin, TX

13d • $168,100 - $261,500 • Hybrid

About The Position

This role involves embedding directly with Product Managers and marketing teams across AWS to transform high-friction workflows into AI-first systems. The engineer will design future-state workflows, define agent-human collaboration, integrate systems, and drive projects from prototype to production. The work spans the full content lifecycle, including web publishing, creative production, localization, and brand operations. The role emphasizes rapid prototyping and putting working software into users' hands to validate ideas quickly. It requires comfort with MCPs, orchestration frameworks, and tool integrations, along with product judgment and customer empathy to ensure adoption. The position is 60% building and 40% leading, with executive sponsorship and engineering partners to scale successful prototypes into platform investments.

Requirements

• 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

Nice To Haves

• 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

Responsibilities

• Build prototypes using model APIs, agent frameworks, and lightweight code to validate opportunities and compress the distance from idea to conviction.
• Design the human-agent experience, defining human involvement, controls, and how marketers interact with agents.
• Turn validated prototypes into production architectures by partnering with engineering, defining technical paths, integration points, and data contracts.
• Own agent quality in production by defining evaluation frameworks, setting quality thresholds, monitoring drift, and driving continuous improvement.
• Build reusable patterns, agent templates, integration blueprints, and reference architectures to accelerate team velocity.
• Evangelize AI capabilities through workshops and demonstrations, using working artifacts to engage stakeholders and gain buy-in.

Benefits

• health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
