Developer Experience Engineer, AWS Developer Experience

About the role

This role works on enabling the next generation of agentic development in the cloud, making AWS where developers and their agents love to build. As a Developer Experience Engineer, you will shape what great agent-driven development looks like on AWS. You will build with agents across AWS services, identify friction points, and turn your findings into content, guidance, and feedback to improve the experience. You will partner with service teams to advocate for changes and produce the technical resources developers and their agents rely on.

A day in the life

No two days look the same, but most weeks you will spend real time building. You will use agents to build on AWS and go deep on the experience. You will document what works, what breaks, and what's missing. You will turn those findings into blog posts, sample code, tutorials, and feedback to product teams. You will collaborate with other developer advocates and engineers across the org to raise the bar on agentic content and standards.
