Job 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 impact will be immediate and visible. You'll ship features that directly improve how our customers operate applications in AWS and other clouds. As a senior engineer you'll also be helping us shape and improve how our team operates.

Key Job Responsibilities

Your responsibilities span the full lifecycle: from architectural decisions to hands-on development. You'll help define all aspects of our service, for example how our agent investigates and resolves incidents, how it learns from each investigation and gets better, and how it integrates with existing customer systems. You'll balance innovation with operational excellence, making technical choices that enable development velocity while meeting AWS's standards for scale and security.

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
• 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
