Job description

Software Development Engineer, AWS Transform Migrations

Job ID: 10574795 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

AWS Transform is building the next generation of Agentic AI services that autonomously migrate the world's largest enterprises to the cloud. With approximately 7/8 of all enterprise workloads still running on-premises, we are at the center of one of AWS's most significant growth opportunities. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer who is excited to build at the frontier of AI — an engineer who wants to design and ship the autonomous agents that reason about complex infrastructure, make intelligent decisions, and execute large-scale migrations with minimal human intervention. This is a rare opportunity to do hands‑on engineering on an AI‑native platform as it takes shape.

Key job responsibilities

• Design, build, and own major components of our Agentic AI migration platform, where autonomous agents discover, plan, and execute data center migrations.
• Implement multi-agent capabilities that leverage foundation models, chain-of-thought reasoning, and tool-use patterns to solve concrete migration challenges.
• Contribute to AI-powered network transformation features, using generative models to analyze, replicate, and optimize enterprise network topologies.
• Collaborate closely with engineers and product partners within your team, contributing to design reviews and helping maintain architectural coherence across our agent frameworks.
• Improve the autonomy and accuracy of agentic orchestration for migration of servers, storage, networks, and applications through iterative development, testing, and measurement.
• Raise the bar on engineering quality through code reviews, operational excellence, and AI-native development practices; mentor junior engineers and interns, and contribute to a culture of rapid experimentation, spec-driven engineering, and high‑velocity releases on Brownfield projects.
