Amazon
San Francisco, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 5/7/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/6/2026

Description

Do you like startups? Are you an expert in the development and tuning of mdodels, practical application of GenAI, AI, and ML? Are you interested in the intersection of cloud computing, generative AI, and disrupting innovation? Yes? We have a role you might find interesting.

Startups are the large enterprises of the future. These young companies are founded by ambitious people who have a desire to build something meaningful and challenge the status quo. They seek to address underserved customers, or to challenge incumbents. They usually operate in an environment of scarcity: whether that’s capital, engineering resource, or experience. This is where you come in.

We are looking for technical builders who love the idea of working with early-stage startups in Mexico to help them as they grow. In this role, you’ll work directly with a variety of interesting customers and diagnostics startups) and help them make the best (and sometimes the most pragmatic) technical decisions along the way. You’ll have a chance to build enduring relationships with these companies and establish yourself as a trusted advisor.

As a member of the Generative AI Startups team, you will work directly with customers to help them successfully leverage AWS technology to develop, train, tune, and deploy the next generation of generative AI foundation models at scale.

As well as spending time working directly with customers, you’ll also get plenty of time to learn new technologies and keep your skills fresh. We have 200 services across a range of different categories and it’s important that we can help startups take advantages of the right ones. You’ll also play an important role as an advocate with our product teams to make sure we are building the right products and features for the startups you work with. And for the customers you don’t get to work with on a 1:1 basis you’ll share knowledge more broadly by working on technical content and presenting at events.


Key job responsibilities
- Help a diverse range of generative AI-focused startups to develop, train and adopt the right architecture at each part of their lifecycle
- Support startups in architecting scalable, reliable and secure solutions
- Support adoption of a broad range of AWS services to deliver business value and accelerate growth
- Support the evolution and roadmap of the AWS platform and services, connecting our engineering teams with our customers for feedback
- Establish and build technical relationships within the startup ecosystem, including accelerators, incubators and VCs
