Sr. Software Development Engineer, AWS Builder Acceleration
About the role
We are building a new organization, AWS Builder Acceleration (AWSBA), focused on reducing toil and increasing building efficiency across AWS builders. Our mission is to accelerate AWS builder teams’ innovation by eliminating friction throughout the software development and operational lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- Imagining, designing, and building new primitives and capabilities using teams of agents and knowledge sources, with significant autonomy.
- Learning how to teach and teaching how to learn.
- Identifying the larger processes in which the primitives you work on are embedded and evaluating the impact of your changes on end-to-end throughput and performance.
- Failing openly and quickly, in a way that captures and integrates your learning into rapidly evolving best practice.
- Unsuccessful experiments advance the state of the art when we learn from them.
- Never repeating the same operational task in exactly the same way twice.
- Repeatable processes get automation, nondeterministic ones get factored into smaller units of work, novel failure modes are studied.
- Manual grinding spins no flywheels.
