Sr. Software Development Engineer, Kiro
About the Role
Kiro is a frontier AI coding agent that tackles development tasks end-to-end, retains context across complex workflows, and continuously learns from its work. We're looking for engineers who want to shape this transformation. You'll work alongside exceptional talent solving novel problems at the intersection of AI and software engineering. The challenges are unique: orchestrating AI workflows across dozens of models, building context systems that make every interaction smarter than the last, and scaling it all to meet AWS's exacting standards for reliability and security.
What You'll Do
- Ship features that directly improve how developers work — from launching new models in hours, to building intelligent routing, to designing the context layer that makes Kiro genuinely understand your project
- Own critical systems or define technical direction for new capabilities
- Work across distributed systems, real-time streaming, multi-model orchestration, and AI infrastructure at scale
Basic Qualifications
- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
- 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
