AWS AI Application Engineer

**Role Summary**

The AI Application Engineer builds the prototypes, services, workflows, and integrations that bring generative AI use cases to life on AWS. This is a hands-on role: the engineer pairs directly with the customer's developers in joint build sessions, turning designs into working software while transferring knowledge so the customer's team becomes self-sufficient. The work spans Bedrock applications and agents, enterprise integrations, MCP-based tooling, and spec-driven development.

Must: We can only consider candidates with one of the following visa statuses: U.S. Citizen, Green Card, EAD, OPT/CPT EAD, or H4 EAD.​

**Key Responsibilities**

* Build prototypes and pilot-ready services implementing AI use cases on Amazon Bedrock, including RAG and Bedrock Agents.
* Develop APIs, UI components, and workflow integrations connecting AI capabilities to enterprise applications and data sources.
* Build document intake, classification, and extraction workflows using services such as Amazon Textract and Step Functions where relevant.
* Configure and integrate MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, and work within Kiro spec-driven development workflows, hooks, and steering rules.
* Implement integrations with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (SharePoint, Outlook/Exchange, Teams, OneDrive) and delivery/observability tools such as ServiceNow, Jira, GitHub, Dynatrace, or Wiz where approved.
* Pair with customer developers in joint build sessions, demonstrating implementation techniques and helping them become self-sufficient.
* Implement guardrails, evaluation tests, and grounding/citation behavior according to the architect's designs.
* Write clean, tested, documented code following reusable development standards, and contribute reusable templates and playbook material.

**Required Qualifications**

* Strong software engineering skills in a common language such as Python, TypeScript/Node.js, or Java.
* Hands-on experience integrating with LLM or generative AI APIs (Amazon Bedrock preferred) and building RAG or agent-style features.
* Working knowledge of core AWS services for compute, storage, APIs, and identity, including security fundamentals beyond the AI stack.
* Comfort building REST/serverless services, integrations, and automation.
* Experience integrating with enterprise systems via APIs (e.g., Microsoft 365 / Graph, ServiceNow, Jira, GitHub) and handling authentication and access controls.
* Ability to work directly with a customer's developers in a collaborative, pairing-oriented way and contribute to knowledge transfer. 
* Good written and verbal communication.

**Preferred Qualifications**

* Experience with MCP server configuration and with Kiro or other spec-driven development tooling.
* Experience with vector databases, embeddings, and search/retrieval tooling.
* Familiarity with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, and testing best practices on AWS.
* Exposure to regulated or public-sector environments and responsible-AI / PHI-PII handling.
* AWS associate-level certification.

**Location & Travel**

* This is a US-only position; candidates must be authorized to work in and based in the United States. 
* The role is primarily remote but may require travel up to 10% to 15% during the engagement for on-site workshops and customer sessions.

**Experience Level**

5 to 10 years experience with at least 2 years of relevant technical stack experience.
