AI in this role
Architect generative AI solutions and build scalable offerings for energy customers on AWS.
Key job responsibilities
- Work directly with energy customers to architect GenAI solutions, going deep on model selection, fine-tuning strategies, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures, agentic workflows, and MLOps to deliver production-ready outcomes.
- Develop go-to-market motions with the AWS energy team, creating reusable assets such as reference architectures, proofs of concept, and delivery accelerators that can be deployed across multiple customers.
- Present technical strategies to customer leadership and C-level executives, translating complex GenAI concepts into clear business value and actionable roadmaps.
- Create field enablement materials for the broader solutions architect community, helping them integrate GenAI solutions into customer architectures, and share best practices through blog posts, white papers, and public-speaking engagements at events like AWS Summit and AWS re:Invent.
- Act as a technical liaison between customers and AWS product teams, translating customer feedback into clear requirements that drive product improvements.
A day in the life
You might start your morning reviewing a RAG architecture design for an energy customer's document processing pipeline, refining the retrieval strategy to improve accuracy. By midday, you are co-architecting a GenAI proof of concept with a customer's technical team, walking through model selection trade-offs and building alignment on the deployment approach. Later, you present a solution strategy to customer leadership, then wrap up by packaging the reference architecture from a recent engagement into a reusable accelerator for the broader community.

Questions you could be asked
- How would you design a retrieval step so the model answers from real data instead of guessing?
- How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
- Walk me through fine-tuning a model: what data did you use, and how did you check the result?
- How do you monitor a model once it's live, and how do you know it needs retraining?
- Tell me about a project where generative ai was part of your work. What did you do?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: RAG, AI agents, Fine-tuning, ML Ops, and Generative AI. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project. This role expects it to be a running habit.
