Job description

Key job responsibilities

Agentic AI Systems: Build AI-powered capabilities on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore such as content discovery, adaptive participant guidance, automated session summaries with lead scoring, agent-assisted authoring, and simulated participant playthroughs for content validation.

Multi-Tenant Platform & Integration APIs: Design multi-tenant content management with per-partner isolation, access controls, and lifecycle tooling. Build integration APIs that let Marketplace and Builder Center provision sandbox environments on demand.

Authentication & Authorization: Evolve the auth architecture across multiple identity providers (Federate, Gandalf/Builder ID, Cognito, STS) to support partner authentication, scoped permissions for external users, and cross-tenant content sharing.

Technical Leadership & Operational Excellence: Lead design reviews, mentor a team of backend and frontend engineers and produce architectural documents that shape multi-year decisions. Own production health through on-call rotations, incident response, retrospective reviews and runbook maintenance.

A day in the life

On any given day, you might lead a cross-team API design review with the product manager, engineering manager, UX designer and engineers from partner AWS teams. You pair with engineers on database access patterns for the multi-tenant content store. You prototype an AI feature that generates post-event session summaries from platform telemetry. You sync with the program manager on cross-team dependencies and align with the team manager on sprint priorities. The work spans platform architecture, agentic AI development, mentorship, and cross-functional collaboration.

About the team

Catalog & Events is one of three engineering teams within Workshop Studio, alongside the Accounts team (managed AWS account fleet and cleanup) and the Holmes team (content scanning and quality enforcement across AWS). We own React web apps, CDK infrastructure, Go and Python Lambdas, Step Functions workflows, DynamoDB data stores, git repositories for content, and an analytics layer tracking event delivery, content usage, and business impact. The team includes an engineering manager, product manager, several backend engineers and a front-end engineer, with shared access to a UX designer, technical program manager, business intelligence engineer and senior engineers including a principal engineer.

Basic Qualifications

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

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Knowledge of machine learning model architecture and inference
