***The Role***
We are seeking a Manager, AI Engineering to lead a team of AI Engineers. In this role, you will hire, develop, and inspire a high-performing team of customer-facing developers and architects who help enterprises architect and deploy different systems to production using AI. You will serve as a technically credible executive sponsor to strategic customers, holding AI strategy conversations grounded in real architectural understanding with CAIOs, CTOs, and VPs of Engineering at Fortune 500 companies.
Beyond direct customer engagement, you will drive Thought Leadership in the generative AI and agentic systems space, publishing guidance, frameworks, and best practices that shape how the broader AWS field engages with customers on AI. You will also lead Advancing the Organization initiatives, partnering with AWS engineering and product teams — including Bedrock, Kiro, Quick — to translate customer signals and field feedback into actionable product improvements. You will create and run programs that enable the field to execute at scale, turning lessons learned from individual customer engagements into repeatable patterns and scalable assets.
This role requires a leader who can operate fluidly between deeply technical implementation conversations and executive-level AI strategy discussions. You must earn the trust of Senior AI Engineers through demonstrated architectural fluency and sound technical judgment, while simultaneously building credibility with service teams, organizational leadership, and customer executives. The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of technical depth, people leadership, and organizational influence — someone who knows which problems matter, which patterns will scale, and how to build a team that delivers outsized impact.
