Senior SDE: Agentic Systems & AI Content Engineering

Amazon Inc.; New York (NY); On-site; USD 185,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc. seeks a Sr. SDE, Agentic Systems, TCX Engineering to own the runtime architecture behind autonomous documentation workflows and multi-agent authoring tools for AWS Documentation.

This senior engineer will shape agent orchestration, evaluation, and reliable output grounded in authoritative sources. You will lead cross-team projects, mentor engineers, and balance speed with long-term quality while adapting patterns as model capabilities evolve.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
• 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language.
• 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience.
• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture across the portfolio — hosted agent runtime, multi-agent authoring workflows, commit-time content analyzers, and operational telemetry — making technology choices where neither the product shape nor the technical approach is defined.
• Design the correctness and verifiability layer: ground agent output in authoritative sources, catch fabrication, and define when a workflow escalates to human review.
• Lead projects requiring work from multiple engineers, including agent orchestration patterns, evaluation frameworks, bidirectional XML transformation, and developer-facing authoring tools.
• Turn content quality evaluations into feedback signals that measurably improve agent behavior, and influence architectural decisions in adjacent systems your services depend on but don’t control.
• Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, exemplary code, and mentoring engineers newer to production AI systems, while identifying root causes of systemic issues and balancing delivery speed against long-term system quality.
