Software Development Engineer, Agentic AI

About the role

Interested in building the future of intelligent AI agents? The Agentic AI organization at AWS is on a mission to empower developers and enterprises to store and retrieve memory for autonomous agents that can reason, plan, and act using state-of-the-art GenAI systems. Our AgentCore Memory team plays a central role in this mission by enabling both short and long-term memory capabilities of agentic systems.

In this role, you will work on an AWS service that is trend-setting in the Gen AI field, solving hard engineering challenges to enable machine learning-powered solutions for our customers. As a tier zero Amazon service, our solutions must be scalable, efficient, and fault-tolerant. While experience with machine learning systems is preferred, it is not required.

You will deliver some of our most strategic technical projects, design large scalable systems, and have a significant bottom-line impact on our business and competitive position. In addition to delivering critical software, you will mentor engineers and provide leadership on complex technical issues.

This position within the Agentic AI team presents a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a fast-growing business and help shape the technology, product, and business. A successful candidate will bring deep technical and software expertise, a desire to have an industry-wide impact, and the ability to work within a fast-moving, startup-like environment in a large company.
