Job Summary
Workshop Studio (WS) is an AWS platform that powers hands-on technical learning and product experiences for hundreds of thousands of AWS customers. The platform provisions isolated AWS accounts deploys infrastructure manages participant access and security controls and handles automated cleanup end-to-end for 300 AWS services.
The Workshop Studio engineering team owns the full platform stack: the Content Catalog Service (workshop authoring quality validation review workflows and publishing) the Events Service (event creation scheduled provisioning infrastructure deployment and participant lifecycle management) and the Account Management Service (account provisioning fleet operations security controls recycling and cost management). Every workshop hackathon AWS GameDay and self-service demo flows through the systems this team builds and operates.
We are hiring a Software Development Engineer to build and operate across this platform during a period of significant expansion. The platforms scope is growing due to new consumers new integration patterns and new use cases that require the team to scale its services APIs and operational practices.
You will design and deliver features across the full software lifecycle working backwards from customers through design implementation testing deployment and operations. You will work across service boundaries. E.g. a feature might start in the content catalog flow through event provisioning and depend on account fleet capacity. You will contribute to agentic AI systems that transform how content is discovered delivered reviewed and followed up on. And you will own the operational health of these systems in production including oncall incident response and operational reviews.
Key job responsibilities

Build APIs that let other teams consume WSs account provisioning.
Write technical designs review other peoples designs incorporate feedback in your own proposals.

A day in the life
You split your time between building features and running a typical week you might write a design for a new API review a teammates code help debug an CloudWatch alarm that fired overnight and pair with a newer engineer on their first oncall-shift. The team ships in Python TypeScript and Go depending on the service. You carry oncall on a rotation and own what you build through to production. For all these activities you will have access to the STOA agentic harness (E.g. Kiro CLI Claude models) for development and investigations.
