Job description

Description

Come help us build the AWS DevOps Agent, a frontier agent that transforms how ops incidents are investigated and remediated.

We're looking for engineers who want to shape this transformation. You'll work with our exceptional team and will build at the intersection of AI and software engineering. We're building systems that seamlessly fit into a customer's environment where we then apply agentic approaches to lighten the customers' ops load. We help builders resolve incidents quickly in live systems, and then learn from those incidents to make systemic improvements.

Your responsibilities span the full lifecycle: from architectural decisions to hands-on development.

You'll balance innovation with operational excellence, making technical choices that enable development velocity while meeting AWS's standards for scale and security.
