On Agentic WorkSpaces, our vision is to enable AI agents to work the way humans do with access to real applications, real interfaces, and real computing environments. For enterprises to trust autonomous agents with their essential business applications, they need to see what agents did, control what agents can do, and prove both to auditors. Our team builds the systems that make this possible. We record every agent desktop action as a reviewable visual audit trail, enforce policy on every tool call before it executes, pause agents for human approval on sensitive actions, and package the evidence for compliance frameworks.
We're looking for an SDE II who can ramp quickly, deliver features end-to-end, and thrive in greenfield work. Much of what we're building doesn't exist yet. You'll take early designs to production, make pragmatic calls about what to build versus what to compose from existing AWS services, and ship on a schedule tied to real customer milestones. The pace is high and the roadmap is concrete, with re:Invent deliverables targeted for this year. The team is small enough that your work goes to production fast and visibly. If you like owning features from design through production and want your work to be the reason enterprises trust AI agents, this team is for you.
Key job responsibilities
* Own features end-to-end: design, implement, test, deploy, and operate in production
* Build new services for policy enforcement, session recording and replay, and human-in-the-loop approval workflows
* Integrate with AWS services and make build-vs-compose decisions with your team
* Handle customer content with care: recording pipelines, retention, and access controls where correctness is the product
* Collaborate with engineers on adjacent teams to unblock dependencies and align on interfaces
* Contribute to operational excellence: oncall, runbooks, alarms, and incident response
A day in the life
Your mornings are usually free for focus work - writing code, reviewing CRs, and working through whatever problem you've picked up. Around 11 you'll have standup, then grab lunch with the team (if you like) before the afternoon opens up for integration work, cross-team syncs, or design reviews. The team is small, so you'll know what everyone is working on, and when something breaks, the whole team rallies. Our pipelines are full CD, our ticket queue is small, and when something pages us we fix the root cause - not just the symptom. We encourage responsible AI usage across our development workflow - it's one way our small team moves fast. The problems are interesting and the pace is high, but we believe we can move fast, do exceptional work, and have a full life outside of it.
We're a small team building two greenfield projects within Agentic WorkSpaces. We're moving fast enough that our team name is still taking shape - but our engineering culture is well established.
