You will design, build, and operate systems that will have direct impact on AWS service builders' team to develop AWS Management Console UX at scale.

This is not a role where you implement features in isolation.

You will use GenAI technologies, validation agents to develop and validate the UX produced using LLM. You will own systems end-to-end — from design through production operations — and your work will be measured by builder experience outcomes, not lines of code.

• Contribute to long-term technical vision and architecture decisions.
• Balance short-term delivery with scalable, maintainable system design.
• Work directly with AWS builders community and internal teams to understand needs and translate them into robust solutions.
• Drive engineering excellence through instrumentation, automated testing, and pipeline-based deployment.
• Think big about the agentic era and experiment boldly with AI-powered capabilities such as conversational setup, natural-language troubleshooting, and AI-assisted fleet management.
• Contribute to hiring, mentor junior engineers, and raise the overall engineering bar.

A day in the life

Even though the oncall activities are minimum in this team, still participate in oncall rotations, monitor operations and business metrics dashboard. Support AWS builders community and stakeholders to unblock them in real time on console builder experience issues.

About The Team
