Key job responsibilities
- Own the front-end architecture for the service across both the AWS Management Console and the new off-console web experience, setting the technical direction and standards others build against - while staying hands-on to design and ship the most complex, high-impact pieces yourself.
- Partner with product managers, UX designers, backend engineers, and science partners to shape product direction, turning ambiguous problems into clear front-end technical strategy and design.
- Define how we build AI-native experiences - establishing the patterns for agentic and conversational workflows (such as streaming responses and real-time updates) and ensuring interfaces are responsive, accessible, and performant at scale.
- Establish and evolve the reusable component libraries, design-system patterns, and front-end architecture that keep the experience cohesive across surfaces, simplifying systems as the product grows.
- Set the bar for end-to-end quality across the team: testing strategy, automated UI testing, CI/CD, and front-end operational excellence.
- Lead code and design reviews for your team, and influence front-end technical decisions with partner teams across AWS.
- Mentor and grow other front-end engineers, helping define the engineering culture and raise the technical capability of the team.
A day in the life
You'll help build a brand-new AWS service from the ground up, owning customer-facing features end to end across our in-console and off-console experiences. Because the product is AI-native, you'll work hands-on with agentic and chat-driven workflows, experimenting with patterns that don't exist yet. Expect plenty of ambiguity, fast iteration, and real influence over the product and customer experience - with teammates who give thoughtful code reviews and a manager invested in your growth. No two days look the same this early, and your work reaches customers in days to weeks, not quarters.
