About the role

AWS Transform is responsible for building Agentic AI systems aimed at helping customers modernize applications to achieve cost savings, security, scalability, and resiliency. We build next-generation, agent-driven solutions that modernize enterprise workloads.

This position within the AWS Transform team presents a unique and rare opportunity to build the next generation of intelligent automation for software development, enabling AI agents to autonomously handle complex Agentic Development Lifecycle tasks, from infrastructure provisioning to deployment orchestration to continuous validation.

We build the systems that let agents understand developer intent and execute multi-step workflows safely and with minimal human intervention, making the development lifecycle faster, safer, and more efficient.

Key job responsibilities * Design and implement complex distributed systems with stringent latency and reliability requirements * Architect scalable agent infrastructure including orchestration, state management, and tool integration * Drive technical alignment across multiple engineering teams and stakeholders * Collaborate with Product, Science, and customers to translate requirements into effective technical solutions * Develop team members' technical capabilities through mentorship, knowledge sharing, and best practices * Maintain strong focus on customer experience in all technical decisions A day in the life The successful applicant will help build the foundational infrastructure that powers agentic systems that let autonomous agents provision environments, run builds, validate changes, and execute multi-step workflows safely at scale.

As AI agents take on real engineering work, they need somewhere safe to do it: isolated, production-like environments that spin up on demand, enforce least-privilege access, and give agents the tools and signals they need to act confidently - without ever putting customer workloads or production systems at risk. That's what this team builds.

You'll work on the execution substrate underneath agentic orchestration: on-demand environment provisioning, secure credential and access boundaries, build and validation pipelines, and the APIs and services that agents call to get real work done.

About the team The team corresponds to highly skilled SDEs who have strong hold on core AWS infra technologies such as EC2, VPC etc and expertise around Agent development for hard problems such as spinning up an entire stack from just code. We internally call ourselves AutoFab team as we are building next generation Autonomous Fabric system.
