Senior DevEx Engineer, AWS Developer Experience

AI agents are opening up a whole new way to build on the cloud. Developers can describe what they want and watch an agent stand it up. This role works on enabling the next generation of agentic development in the cloud, making AWS where developers and their agents love to build.

We are looking for a Senior Developer Experience Engineer to define and drive what great agent-driven development looks like on AWS. You will decide where to focus across the portfolio, build hands-on to validate the experience, and turn what you learn into content, standards, and product feedback that service teams act on. You will lead projects end-to-end, mentor other engineers on the team, and influence product direction through the quality of your work and the clarity of your recommendations.

Key job responsibilities
- Define where to focus across the AWS portfolio for agent-driven development improvements

- Build hands-on with AI agents to validate the experience and identify the highest-impact gaps

- Produce content, standards, and guidance that developers and their agents rely on

- Work directly with service and product teams to drive changes that make their services easier to build with

- Lead projects end-to-end, from scoping the problem through shipping the fix or content

- Mentor other engineers on the team and raise the quality bar across the org

About the team
This role will join the AWS Developer Experience organization, where our goal is to win the hearts and minds of developers around the world, by meeting them where they are and providing the right technical education, tools, and resources to enable developer success.
