Job description

Come shape the future with us! As a major cloud provider, our technology powers many of the world's largest organizations. We are building Generative AI applications that will transform how enterprises operate.

Amazon Quick helps enterprises put AI agents to work across their business. We build business process automation for Quick: agents that run the processes a business depends on, such as multi-step SOPs, approvals, and workflows spanning several systems of record. These agents run unattended, at high volume, under governance controls, and with the reliability customers expect from production systems.

You will have the opportunity to lead engineering teams that own systems already running large-scale workloads for enterprise customers, and take them to the next level of scale, reliability, and adoption. We are seeking a leader who is energized by complex technical challenges and by building teams that push the boundaries of what's possible with AI. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role within the Amazon Quick organization, with direct influence on product direction and on how enterprises adopt agentic automation.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead and grow engineering teams that build and operate agent execution, orchestration, and governance systems
• Own delivery and operational excellence for production services with high availability and correctness requirements
• Partner with product, science, and peer engineering teams to define the roadmap and decide what to build
• Drive architecture decisions for distributed, scalable, and secure systems, including identity, access control, auditability, and runtime policy enforcement
• Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing team, and raise the bar on engineering practices
• Work directly with internal and external customers to turn their processes into product requirements
