You will own the design and delivery of features and components from understanding customer needs through implementation testing and production operations. You will work with senior engineers on system design write high-quality well-tested code and help operate the services you build. Your work will directly shape how enterprises move their most critical workloads to AWS. You will collaborate closely with senior engineers product managers and customer-facing teams to make sure what you build turns into real customer outcomes. If you are excited about solving hard high-impact problems with strong engineering fundamentals and applied AI skills we would love to hear from you.

A day in the life
Your morning might start with a design review where you present your approach for a new service component that automates a migration step previously done by hand. After working through the details with a senior engineer you shift to writing and reviewing code working on infrastructure plumbing one hour and refining an agents decision logic the the afternoon you meet with your product manager and a customer-facing teammate to go over feedback from an enterprise customer pilot and turn it into improvements for your feature. You wrap up by updating operational dashboards and tuning alerts for a service you helped launch.
