The role is hands-on, requiring pair-programming with customer engineers, writing code, building integrations, and validating AI performance before production

Qualifications

• 6+ years of design, implementation, or consulting in applications and infrastructures experience.

• MCP Server Configuration: Design and deploy Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that expose customer tools, data sources, and APIs in a standardized format - enabling AI agents to dynamically discover and invoke capabilities across the customer's technology stack.
• A2A (Agent-to-Agent) Integration: Architect Agent-to-Agent communication patterns that allow Amazon Connect AI agents to collaborate with specialized agents across the enterprise (e.g., billing agents, order management agents, IT support agents), enabling multi-agent workflows that span organizational boundaries.
• Integration Development: Build serverless integrations using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, and scripting (Python, Node.js) to connect Amazon Connect AI agents with customer data systems (CRMs, ERPs, databases, knowledge bases).
• Cloud Data Access: Architect secure access patterns to cloud-based data systems (Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon RDS, Amazon S3, Amazon OpenSearch, Amazon Kendra/Knowledge Bases for Bedrock) to power AI agent tool use and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
• Pre-Production Validation: Guide customers through testing, evaluation, and validation of AI agent performance against defined success criteria before production deployment.
• Knowledge Sharing: Create reusable artifacts (reference architectures, implementation guides, sample code, prompt libraries, data readiness checklists) that scale best practices across the Connect SA community and partner ecosystem.
• Service Team Collaboration: Provide feedback to Amazon Connect and Amazon Bedrock product teams based on real-world customer implementations, contributing to product roadmap prioritization.
