A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) at AWS embeds directly inside a strategic enterprise customer to design, build, deploy and run AI-powered production systems alongside the customer's engineering team, writing production-grade software and owning outcomes end-to-end from prototype through enterprise-scale deployment.
What you'll do:
- Lead technical strategy and execution for complex, multi-workstream customer AI programs (30–50% travel).
- Architect and build production AI systems at scale: multi-agent orchestration, enterprise retrieval, decision intelligence platforms.
- Define operational standards, evaluation frameworks and production-readiness criteria.
- Mentor junior FDEs and define engineering patterns for the practice.
- Create accelerators and reusable platforms and feed learnings back into AWS services.
