Sr. Software Development Engineer, Kiro Web

The future of software development is agentic. AWS is building Kiro — a frontier AI-powered development environment that autonomously tackles development tasks, maintains context across interactions, and continuously learns from its work. Kiro is already transforming how developers build and maintain software, and we're just getting started.

We're looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to be a technical leader on the Kiro Web team. You'll own the full-stack architecture of a system that's genuinely novel: a web application that orchestrates teams of AI agents collaborating on code in real time, with dynamic topology control, inter-agent communication, streaming visual interfaces, and tool approval workflows — all built on the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).

You'll make the hard architectural decisions: how to scale the process-per-session model as users run dozens of concurrent agents, how to design the state synchronization between server-side ACP processes and browser-side React stores, how to architect the multi-agent team orchestration layer so that agents can dynamically activate/deactivate teammates and modify communication topologies at runtime, and how to build enterprise features (multi-tenant, RBAC, usage metering) without compromising the localhost-first simplicity that makes Kiro Web fast and ergonomic.

Your influence will define the team's technical trajectory. You'll mentor engineers across the full stack, lead design reviews, drive cross-team initiatives with the Kiro CLI and Kiro IDE teams, and translate ambiguous product requirements into concrete systems. When novel problems emerge — and they will, because multi-agent orchestration UIs are a new category — you'll be the one who designs the solution.

This is your chance to lead the engineering that powers the agent that builds the future.
