Descrizione del lavoro

AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.

Amazon WorkSpaces has protected and empowered enterprise work for over a decade and we are now 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. Today more than a million users rely on WorkSpaces daily; tomorrow those workspaces will host AI agents alongside humans — agents that code, troubleshoot, analyze, and act on behalf of their users, governed by the same identity and security policies as the people they serve. We compete with Microsoft, Citrix, and Omnissa, and we intend to leapfrog them by building the workspace that was designed for the agentic era, not retrofitted for it.

Agentic Workspaces' On-Instance Software (OIS) is the layer that makes this possible from the inside of every WorkSpace: the operating-system provisioning logic, on-instance agents, telemetry, and update mechanisms across Windows and Linux. Our vision is for that software to be invisible — operating systems that launch within weeks of upstream general availability, agents that update themselves safely without disrupting access, provisioning that is self-diagnosable, and fleet management that works through the same AWS tools customers already use — delivered from commercial regions to classified partitions with automation as the default, so quality and breadth improve release over release.

Knowledge of Linux operating systems, Linux package management, and native Linux desktop application development is desired.

You want to solve challenging problems in operating systems, identity, AI, and desktop platform engineering at a scale that impacts more than a million users daily.

We are looking for cross platform systems development engineers who are passionate about building, maintaining, and automating the systems that underpin the robust WorkSpaces-fleet system. On any given day we use Python, Lambda, DynamoDB, CloudFormation, PowerShell, as well as other public AWS services and a host of Amazon-internal tools. We don't expect you to be an expert in or necessarily even be familiar with all of the technologies listed above, but we do expect you to be excited to learn about them!

In this role you'll help WorkSpaces-Fleet expand into new regions, remove development friction through automation, and collaborate with a team of Systems Developers to help shape the future for the next generation of services to help customers reduce the mean-time-to manage their WorkSpaces. You'll apply your creative and critical problem solving skills to develop and run multi-tenant services at massive scale.

You are customer-obsessed, technically deep, and energized by solving hard problems. You think big about what the workspace of the future looks like — a unified agent shipping to two platforms from one code base, an identity model that treats humans and agents as first-class citizens, and autonomous troubleshooting that resolves issues before users notice — and then you build the systems to get there.

Key job responsibilities
