About the job
AI agents are opening up a whole new way to build on the cloud. Developers can describe what they want and watch an agent stand it up. This role works on enabling the next generation of agentic development in the cloud, making AWS the place developers and their agents love to build on.
We are looking for a Principal Developer Experience Engineer to set and drive that strategy. You will decide where AWS invests agent-driven builds, define what a great agent experience looks like across the portfolio, and turn that into content, standards, and product direction that service teams adopt. You will work hands-on where it matters and lead through influence everywhere else.
Responsibilities
- Build with AWS to dive deep on the experience
- Turn what you learn into content and guidance that developers and their agents can rely on
- Work with service and product teams on the changes that make their services easier to build with
- Write the docs that set direction
- Help the broader team raise the bar
Qualifications
Minimum
- 10+ years of software development experience
- Knowledge of and experience with cloud infrastructure technologies
- Experience writing high-quality technical content for technical audiences (e.g., engineers, developers, scientists)
- Hands-on experience building with AI coding agents and agentic tooling.
- Ability to influence product and engineering teams.
Preferred
- Experience leading and defining requirements and driving these across diverse organizations
- Established credibility in a developer community through open source, speaking, or a technical following.
