Job description

Description

AI agents are opening up a whole new way to build on the cloud. Developers can describe what they want and watch an agent stand it up. This role works on enabling the next generation of agentic development in the cloud, making AWS where developers and their agents love to build.

We are looking for a Senior Developer Experience Engineer to define and drive what great agent-driven development looks like on AWS. You will decide where to focus across the portfolio, build hands-on to validate the experience, and turn what you learn into content, standards, and product feedback that service teams act on. You will lead projects end-to-end, mentor other engineers on the team, and influence product direction through the quality of your work and the clarity of your recommendations.

Key job responsibilities
- Define where to focus across the AWS portfolio for agent-driven development improvements

- Build hands-on with AI agents to validate the experience and identify the highest-impact gaps

- Produce content, standards, and guidance that developers and their agents rely on

- Work directly with service and product teams to drive changes that make their services easier to build with

- Lead projects end-to-end, from scoping the problem through shipping the fix or content

- Mentor other engineers on the team and raise the quality bar across the org

About the team
This role will join the AWS Developer Experience organization, where our goal is to win the hearts and minds of developers around the world, by meeting them where they are and providing the right technical education, tools, and resources to enable developer success.
Why AWS?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

Mentorship & Career Growth
We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.

Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

Basic Qualifications

- Experience architecting/operating solutions built on AWS
- Experience writing high-quality technical content for technical audiences (e.g., engineers, developers, scientists)
- - 5+ years of software development or developer experience engineering experience
- - Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, or similar)
- - Experience leading technical projects from scoping through delivery

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience coordinating between technical teams, peers and business stakeholders
- Experience working with technical and product stakeholders to define requirements, prioritize features, and influence product roadmaps
- - Experience mentoring engineers
- - Contributions to open source projects
