Full Job Description
On Agentic WorkSpaces, our vision is to enable AI agents to work the way humans do. AI agents are no longer chatbots waiting for prompts. They9re digital workers - processing claims, reconciling invoices, securing infrastructure. And they need the same things every employee needs: identity, permissions, governance, and a trusted place to operate. Our team builds the platform which enables enterprise agents to safely execute autonomous work in governed environments.

We9re looking for an SDE II who can ramp quickly, deliver features end-to-end, and thrive in greenfield work. Much of what we9re building doesn9t exist yet. You9ll 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 you9ve picked up. Around 11 you9ll 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 you9ll 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 - it9s one way our 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.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience

- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience

- 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience

- 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience

- 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience

- Experience programming with at least one software programming language

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience

- Bachelor9s degree in computer science or equivalent
