Description

We are hiring Principal, Senior, and Distinguished Engineers to join AWS Applied AI Solutions.

AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is revolutionizing the future of work and enterprise technology with AI solutions that improve human capabilities and business outcomes. Our vision is to empower every business to innovate with Amazon AI teammates that make intelligent operations effortless. We blend curiosity with Amazon's real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions that work right out of the box. This spans customer engagement (Connect Customer AI), healthcare (Connect Health), supply chain and demand planning (Connect Decisions), high-volume hiring (Connect Talent), scientific discovery (Bio Discovery), physical retail (Just Walk Out), end-user computing (Amazon WorkSpaces), cloud workforce development (AWS Training and Certification), and AI-powered cloud operations (AWS Support).

What You’ll Do:

This is a rare chance to own and ship finished AI solutions — not building blocks, not platform layers — at enterprise scale. You'll architect end-to-end systems where thousands of autonomous agents orchestrate in real time, make consequential decisions in production, and collaborate with humans in ways no one has built before.

Basic Qualifications
