About the job
The future of software development is agentic. AWS is building Kiro — a frontier AI coding agent that tackles development tasks end-to-end, retains context across complex workflows, and continuously learns from its work. Kiro is already transforming how developers build and maintain software, and we're just getting started.
Responsibilities
- Work alongside exceptional talent solving novel problems at the intersection of AI and software engineering.
- 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.
- Lead by owning a critical system, defining technical direction for a new capability, or shaping how the team operates.
- Work across distributed systems, real-time streaming, multi-model orchestration, and AI infrastructure at scale.
Qualifications

- Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
Preferred
- 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
