Software Development Engineer, AWS Workflow - Step Functions

Would you like to be part of a team that shapes how developers build, monitor, and manage workflows and event-driven applications across AWS?

The AWS Workflow Experience team owns the console experiences for AWS Step Functions, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Simple Workflow Service, and Lambda Durable Functions. These services are used by hundreds of thousands of customers - from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises - to orchestrate the workflows and processes that drive their business. Our mission is to make it easier for customers to build and operate workflows, and in doing so, make it easier to build cloud-native applications on AWS.

The ideal candidate is genuinely excited about technology, passionate about learning, and views every customer interaction as an opportunity to create an exceptional experience. You're comfortable working across the stack - building intuitive front-end experiences one day and designing the services that power them the next. You thrive in a fast-moving, startup-like environment where innovation is encouraged and ownership is expected.

Come build software that delights developers and has lasting impact on how modern applications are built in the world of serverless and workflow architectures.


Key job responsibilities

- Collaborate with UX designers, product managers, and partner teams to deliver features that delight developers
- Use data and customer feedback to identify opportunities and continuously improve the product experience
- Contribute to system architecture, operational excellence, and engineering best practices
