## Description

We are looking for strong AI Technical Architect to drive our innovation strategy using Amazon Web Services. This role focuses on building sophisticated, autonomous AI agents using AWS Bedrock. You will be the primary technical authority on Agentic AI, responsible for designing systems where Foundation Models (FMs) interact intelligently with enterprise data and APIs to perform complex tasks. You will lead high-stakes conversations with senior leadership to define the "Art of the Possible" regarding GenAI., * Strategic Advisory: Lead workshops with senior business leaders to identify high-value use cases for autonomous agents and define the ROI for AI investments.

 * Architecture Design: Architect scalable, serverless AI solutions using Amazon Bedrock Agents and Knowledge Bases for RAG implementation.

 * Orchestration & Execution: Design action groups and execute logic using AWS Lambda functions to allow agents to interact with external systems.

 * Model Selection: Evaluate and select appropriate Foundation Models (e.g., Anthropic Claude, Amazon Titan, Meta Llama) via Bedrock based on cost, latency, and reasoning capabilities.

 * Operational Excellence: Oversee the deployment pipelines (CI/CD) for AI agents and monitor performance using Amazon CloudWatch and Bedrock Guardrails.
