The future of software development is agentic. AWS is building Kiro a frontier AI coding agent that tackles development tasks end-to-end retains context across complex workflows and continuously learns from its work. Kiro is already transforming how developers build and maintain software and were just getting started.
Were looking for engineers who want to shape this transformation. Youll work alongside exceptional talent solving novel problems at the intersection of AI and software engineering. The challenges are unique: orchestrating AI workflows across dozens of models and providers building context and memory systems that make every interaction smarter than the last and scaling it all to meet AWSs exacting standards for reliability and security.
Your impact will be immediate and visible. Youll ship features that directly improve how developers work from launching new models in hours to building intelligent routing that keeps Kiro available even when upstream providers arent to designing the memory layer that makes Kiro genuinely understand your project. These arent incremental improvements; theyre the building blocks of a new category of developer tool.
From day one youll have opportunities to lead whether thats owning a critical system defining technical direction for a new capability or shaping how the team operates. Youll work across distributed systems real-time streaming multi-model orchestration and AI infrastructure at scale. The team is small enough that your decisions matter and large enough that youll always have someone to learn from.
This is your chance to build the agent that builds the future.
