Software Development Engineer, Developer Agents and Experiences

Key job responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end delivery of high-impact, user-facing features built with TypeScript and React, from writing the technical spec to shipping to customers
• Drive technical direction for client-side architecture and establish patterns that raise the bar for quality across the team
• Work closely with designers and product managers to ensure every feature meets a high bar for developer UX and interaction quality
• Build and use AI agents to accelerate your own development workflow
• Exercise high judgment about when to guide, override, or take control from AI agents — knowing when to trust automation and when the situation demands your direct involvement
• Mentor and guide less tenured engineers, helping them navigate technical challenges, grow their skills, and advance their careers
• Work with Product and Design to deeply understand customer workflows and build backward from their needs, maintaining Amazon's commitment to starting from the customer

A day in the life

• Use AI agents to write code and move fast, and direct code review agents to help the team catch issues before they ship
• Conduct design and UX reviews with your PM and designer to ensure every feature meets a high bar for developer experience
• Take full ownership of a feature set actively used by customers, deliver high-impact features end to end, from the initial spec to the moment they ship, and take pride in building software that genuinely delights the developers who use it every day
• Participate in the team's Weekly Operations Review and understand the key metrics that drive our product
• Work with your manager to understand how to grow your career at AWS and how to build a career growth plan
• Work with other engineers to improve our operational effectiveness by designing new systems and making our current ones more effective
• Help onboard new engineers and guide them in their first weeks at AWS
• Hold a high bar for user experience in every feature you ship: obsess over every interaction, every millisecond of latency, and choose the path that serves users best even when it is harder to build
• Continuously measure, monitor, and improve client-side performance across all supported operating systems
