  • Job Description

      Req#: 2452560
      As Principal Engineer, you will develop Gen AI automation technology and solutions to improve support experiences for customers and frontline staff, and increase operational efficiencies for AWS Support. The systems will cover customer-facing AI assistance in Support Center and other AWS consoles, as well as internally-facing AI augmentation in Command Center tools and consoles. The solutions will diagnose technical problems, recommend and execute troubleshooting steps, and provide actionable guidance to prevent cost, availability, performance, and security issues.

      Key job responsibilities
      You will lead a multi-year vision to transform the delivery of technical support and account management using Gen AI. You will partner with key stakeholders in AWS Support and other AWS service teams, such as AWS Console, Sagemaker, CloudWatch, NextGen Developer Experience, etc. and will need to influence leaders across many functions – including operations, engineering management, product management, and applied science – to refine the vision and strategy. You will figure out how to train LLMs using proprietary data that can solve technical issues accurately without violating security or privacy requirements. You will own the architecture design, development of critical components, and technical leadership for launching a number of game-changing Gen AI products and solutions. You will understand various AI technologies, and serve as a force multiplier who can enable many development teams to contribute to the overall solution.
