Be the force multiplier that accelerates AI innovation for AWS's most forward-thinking customers. The AWS Prototyping and AI Customer Engineering (PACE) team builds working Generative AI and Agentic AI prototypes in days and weeks - not months - and we need Technical Program Managers who can orchestrate complex customer engagements from concept to delivery. If you're passionate about AI technologies, love solving ambiguous problems, and thrive on helping teams move fast while maintaining quality, this is your opportunity to shape how organizations globally approach AI adoption. In this role, you'll own AI-focused customer engagements end-to-end, partnering with Prototyping Architects and Design Technologists to deliver breakthrough solutions. You'll work with technologies like large language models, RAG architectures, autonomous agents, and AI-driven development tools while applying Amazon's Working Backwards methodology to ensure every prototype starts with customer outcomes.
