You will work alongside exceptional senior engineering talent solving hard problems at the frontier of AI and developer tooling. You'll have opportunities to work with and learn from best-in-industry senior engineering talent. In addition to the technical challenges provided by the innovative use cases that we are working on, you will also learn how to build a product that meets AWS's high bar for availability, scalability, and security.
You'll have a direct line to our customers' experience and a direct means of improving it. On a daily basis, you'll work with teammates to review each other's code, mentor and be mentored. You'll have an opportunity to lead from day one, from leading projects, to driving technical processes, to teaching and learning from your teammates. You will have real ownership, from setting technical direction to shipping features that developers notice and love.
Key job responsibilities
Own the end-to-end delivery of high-impact, user-facing features built with TypeScript and React, from writing the technical spec to shipping to customers
Drive technical direction for client-side architecture and establish patterns that raise the bar for quality across the team
Work closely with designers and product managers to ensure every feature meets a high bar for developer UX and interaction quality
Build and use AI agents to accelerate your own development workflow
Exercise high judgment about when to guide, override, or take control from AI agents - knowing when to trust automation and when the situation demands your direct involvement
Mentor and guide less tenured engineers, helping them navigate technical challenges, grow their skills, and advance their careers
Work with Product and Design to deeply understand customer workflows and build backward from their needs, maintaining Amazon's commitment to starting from the customer
A day in the life
Use AI agents to write code and move fast, and direct code review agents to help the team catch issues before they ship
Conduct design and UX reviews with your PM and designer to ensure every feature meets a high bar for developer experience
Take full ownership of a feature set actively used by customers, deliver high-impact features end to end, from the initial spec to the moment they ship, and take pride in building software that genuinely delights the developers who use it every day.
