A day in the life
Diverse Experiences
Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
Why AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
Mentorship and Career Growth
We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
About the team
Prototyping in AWS (PACE: Prototyping and AI Customer Engineering) is a program designed to engage at an early stage with our customers who are looking to build their custom solutions using AWS technologies, and to support them hands-on to discover the Art of the Possible with AWS. Three words define how we work: Explore, Prove, Deliver. A prototype is a real technical implementation of a solution to a customer's business challenge. It brings the technology and the business concepts together, focusing on co-development and knowledge transfer to our customers, implementing a specific use case while following AWS best practices. The team works with enterprise customers across industries, with a strong focus on Generative AI and agentic use cases, to accelerate agentic customer transformation at scale.
Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers. If you have a disability and need a workplace accommodation or adjustment during the application and hiring process, including support for the interview or onboarding process, please visit https://amazon.jobs/content/en/how-we-hire/accommodations for more information.

- You are a hands-on AI builder who combines deep technical expertise with excellent interpersonal skills, helping enterprises across France and Europe South turn their most ambitious ideas into working technology proofpoints on AWS, with generative AI and agentic systems at the core of what you build.
- You work at the intersection of emerging technology and real customer problems. You take an ambiguous business challenge and co-build a real technical implementation of the solution, bringing generative AI, agentic systems, and cloud-native architectures together into a working prototype that proves what is possible on AWS.
- You thrive in ambiguity. Your customers are navigating generational technology shifts, foundation models, autonomous agents, intelligent automation, and you help them cut through the noise, make crisp technical decisions, and move fast. You work backwards from customer outcomes, you insist on the highest standards in design and delivery, and you grow at the frontier of the field.
- You spend most of your time hands-on-keyboard, pair-programming with customer engineers and alongside Prototype Engagement Managers, Solutions Architects, Specialists and partners. You deliver multi-week engagements that de-risk transformation and accelerate customers' paths to production. Just as importantly, you leave the customer's team more capable than you found them, transferring the skills and reusable foundations they need to take the solution forward themselves.
