Software Development Engineer, Developer Agents and Experiences

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 isn't just another AI tool; it's a fundamental shift in how software gets built and maintained. We're looking for engineers who want to shape this transformation. You'll 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 experience—all while meeting AWS's exacting standards for scale, reliability, and security. Your impact will be immediate and visible. You'll ship features that directly improve how developers work. Daily collaboration includes code reviews, mentorship in both directions, and rapid skill development. From day one, you'll have opportunities to lead—whether that's owning projects, defining technical direction, or shaping how the team operates. This is your chance to build the agent that builds the future.
