Sr. Software Dev Engineer, Kiro Control Plane

The future of software development is autonomous. AWS is building Kiro Autonomous Agent a frontier agent that independently tackles development tasks maintains context across interactions and continuously learns from its work. This isnt just another AI tool; its a fundamental shift in how software gets built and maintained.

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: building systems that operate autonomously retain context across complex workflows and improve through experienceall while meeting AWSs exacting standards for scale reliability and security.

Your impact will be immediate and visible. Youll ship features that directly improve how developers work. Daily collaboration includes code reviews mentorship in both directions and rapid skill development. From day one youll have opportunities to leadwhether thats owning projects defining technical direction or shaping how the team operates.

This is your chance to build the agent that builds the future.
