Full Job Description
What you will do

  • Build and run the MCP fleet - ship, secure, and patch self-hosted and managed MCP servers for business apps and databases, and manage the MCP registry.
  • Own the agent platform other teams build on - the deploy pattern, guardrails, observability, and hosting substrate that let other teams ship agents without you in the loop.
  • Co-own the Bedrock runtime and gateway - model access, cost attribution, content-filtering guardrails, model pinning, and quota management behind an AWS/Okta-SSO'd gateway.
  • Make AI spend and usage visible - build the Bedrock-to-Snowflake pipeline, identity-matched, with usage tracking and threshold alerting.
  • Make the secure path the easy path - own MDM config, desktop client setup, credentials, and auth flows for non-technical employees; build AI automations across Claude desktop, Slack, and Google Workspace.
  • Build governance into the platform - route workflows by data sensitivity, enforce least privilege and auditability, and keep unproven models sandboxed away from production data as configuration, not a rewrite.


What you will bring with you

  • 6+ years in software engineering, platform engineering, or DevOps, including ownership of something in production that others depended on.
  • Hands-on AWS - IAM, ECS or Lambda, CloudWatch, and working VPC knowledge. Required, not a bonus.
  • Full-stack range - backend services, APIs, CI/CD, containerized deployments.
  • Builder, not just integrator - you can write an MCP server or API integration from scratch, not just wire up a managed connector.
  • Hands-on with LLMs - comfortable with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and agent development; you've shipped something with them.
  • Self-direction - you can take an underspecified task and figure out the parts nobody wrote down.


What we look for

  • Bias to ship - and to automate whatever you just did by hand.
  • Ownership of the boring parts - upgrades, credentials, quotas, on-call.
  • Candor - you raise problems and disagreements early, even about platform choices.
  • Judgment on buy vs. build - you'd rather run a small, coherent stack than a sprawling "perfect" one.

  • Full health benefits package for you and your family
