Job description

We are looking for a Senior AWS Cloud Native Developer to help build a paved-road platform from the ground up — one that lets every engineering team build in an AI-native way, with agents as first-class developers, automation and governance built in, and a fast, safe path from idea to production.

• Develop cloud-native applications and tooling on AWS, including developer tooling and delivery platforms

Nice to have

• Skills in TypeScript/React for web front ends and developer consoles
• Experience building internal developer platforms or "platform-as-a-product"
• Experience building agentic applications, or designing APIs/CLIs and reusable skills for both human and agent consumers
