About the role
We're looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer who wants to build AI-powered products that change how enterprises move to the cloud — and who thrives as the technical anchor of an AWS 2-pizza team.
Responsibilities
- Own team-level architecture — design systems that are simple, extensible, and operationally sound
- Influence design and technical decisions beyond your immediate team, contributing to org-wide architectural direction and engineering standards
- Lead projects spanning multiple engineers; make sound technical decisions and drive execution from design through production deployment
- Design and build agentic AI components — whether that's agent logic, orchestration workflows, evaluation pipelines, or integration APIs
- Write production code daily — you should spend the majority of your time building, not meeting
- Set engineering standards on your team: code quality, testing practices, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and incident response
- Solve complex distributed systems problems where trade-offs between latency, consistency, extensibility, and cost aren't obvious
- Proactively identify and resolve technical debt; simplify systems rather than layering complexity
- Mentor and grow engineers on your team; help junior and mid-level engineers level up through code reviews, design guidance, and career coaching
- Communicate technical designs clearly in writing — design docs, RFCs, and architecture decision records
- Drive operational excellence: meaningful alarms, runbooks, dashboards, and a culture of learning from incidents
- Travel ~5% to customer sites and partner team locations to understand how your tools perform in the field
Requirements
- 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
- Experience with Machine Learning and Large Language Model fundamentals, including architecture, training/inference lifecycles, and optimization of model execution
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
Qualifications
- Experience building complex software systems that have been successfully delivered to customers
Skills
- Python
- AWS CDK
- React
- Heavy use of AWS services (Bedrock, Step Functions, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and others)
