About the team
The AI Deployment Engineering team ensures the safe and effective deployment of Generative AI applications for developers and enterprises. We serve as trusted technical advisors, helping customers and partners move from early experimentation to production-scale AI systems.
As a Partner AI Deployment Engineer focused on AWS, you will operate at the center of one of our most strategic partnerships, driving joint customer success and enabling AWS and partner ecosystems to scale adoption of OpenAI-powered solutions.
About the role
We are looking for a highly experienced technical leader to serve as the primary technical counterpart to AWS field leadership (Solutions Architects, Specialists, and Partner teams).
This role goes beyond individual deal support—you will shape strategy, define engagement models, and build repeatable systems that scale across AWS globally. You will work across pre- and post-sales, guiding complex enterprise customers from ideation to production while enabling AWS and partners to independently drive deployments.
You will combine deep technical expertise, strong judgment, and ecosystem leadership to maximize impact across a portfolio of high-priority opportunities.
This role can be based in either Bangalore, Mumbai or Delhi.
In this role, you will:
Serve as the senior technical counterpart to AWS field leadership, building trust and credibility across regions and teams.
Influence joint account strategy and technical direction for high-priority opportunities.
Shape how OpenAI engages with AWS by defining engagement models, prioritization frameworks, and best practices.
Proactively identify and drive net-new opportunities and high-impact use cases across the AWS ecosystem.
Lead technical strategy for large, ambiguous, and high-stakes enterprise engagements.
Guide customers from early ideation through architecture design, prototyping, and production deployment.
Act as a technical decision-maker and escalation point, de-risking complex implementations.
Apply strong judgment to prioritize opportunities and allocate limited technical resources for maximum impact.
Design and communicate end-to-end AI architectures leveraging OpenAI and AWS services.
Build and guide development of prototypes, POCs, and reference implementations to accelerate adoption.
Establish best practices for scalable, secure, and production-ready GenAI systems.
Ensure solutions are designed for repeatability, extensibility, and partner-led delivery.
Enable AWS and partners through scalable technical motions (workshops, playbooks, reference architectures, demos).
Develop reusable solution patterns and assets that can be deployed independently by AWS teams and SIs.
Mentor and uplift partner technical teams, accelerating their path to self-sufficiency.
Scale impact by working through GSIs, RSIs, and ISVs, rather than relying solely on direct engagement.
Partner closely with Alliances, Product, Engineering, GTM, and Enablement to align on strategy and execution.
Act as a bridge between field and product, delivering high-signal insights to inform roadmap and prioritization.
Contribute to internal knowledge systems and help define standards, patterns, and playbooks for the ADE function.
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
Have 8+ years of technical consulting (or equivalent) experience, managing C-level technical and business relationships with complex global organizations.
Operate as a technical leader and systems thinker, not just an individual contributor.
Balance hands-on building with strategic influence and scale.
Know when to go deep technically vs. enable others to execute.
Build trust quickly with engineers, architects, and executives alike.
Default to creating repeatable patterns, not one-off solutions.
Are comfortable owning ambiguous, high-visibility problem spaces.
Take a long-term, ecosystem-oriented view of impact.
Are motivated by driving customer and partner success at scale.
