Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.

Amazon WorkSpaces has protected and empowered enterprise work for over a decade. Now we are reimagining what a workspace is. We are building Agentic WorkSpaces: a platform where the workspace itself is an active partner in how you work, not just infrastructure that delivers applications. The Agentic WorkSpaces organization envisions a world where people, teams, and AI collaborate securely from anywhere to create unprecedented value for every organization. We build lovable products that empower every business to unlock the full potential of human-AI teamwork, driving smarter decisions, greater creativity, more value, and faster innovation with confidence.

Come change the way the world sees the cloud! Amazon WorkSpaces is a managed desktop computing service in the cloud that allows customers to easily provision cloud-based desktops, enabling end-users to access the documents, applications, and resources they need with the device of their choice, including laptops, iPad, Kindle Fire, Android tablets, and zero clients. With a few clicks in the AWS Management Console, customers can provision a high-quality cloud desktop experience (for Windows or Linux) for any number of users at a cost that is highly competitive with traditional desktops and half the cost of most virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions. Now, we are taking this further with the agentic WorkSpace: a secure, managed environment purpose-built for human-AI collaboration at enterprise scale, where people and AI agents work side by side to deliver results neither could achieve alone.

We offer a unique opportunity to solve some of the most interesting problems associated with providing secure, reliable, fast, and highly scalable solutions at the intersection of cloud computing and agentic AI. In the process you will have the opportunity to work on a number of industry-leading AWS services. Our team is innovating in multiple areas to give our customers the best-in-class interactive streaming platform while pioneering the next generation of human-AI collaborative workspaces. We are looking for people who believe in providing world-class application streaming experience for AWS Enterprise and ISV customers, and who are energized by the challenge of building the future where every workspace is an intelligent partner that drives smarter decisions, greater creativity, and faster innovation with confidence.

Key job responsibilities

In our team, you will indulge your love of diving deep into complex technical problems, driving incremental system optimizations and raising the bar for operational excellence and development practices. We will look to you to help enhance the skills and expertise of those around you.

We are looking for passionate SDEs who want to build their career in Agentic WorkSpaces For End-User Personas. Partner with Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q teams, and peer organizations to ensure the WorkSpaces agentic architecture leverages and contributes to shared AWS agentic infrastructure. Operational ownership of low-latency, high-availability services used by over one million WorkSpaces users globally. Ensure your team's services meet stringent SLAs across multiple production regions and OS variants, with autonomous troubleshooting and proactive issue resolution before customers are impacted.
