## Description

AI agents are opening up a whole new way to build on the cloud. Developers can describe what they want and watch an agent stand it up. This role works on enabling the next generation of agentic development in the cloud, making AWS the place developers and their agents love to build on., We are looking for a Principal Developer Experience Engineer to set and drive that strategy. You will decide where AWS invests agent-driven builds, define what a great agent experience looks like across the portfolio, and turn that into content, standards, and product direction that service teams adopt. You will work hands-on where it matters and lead through influence everywhere else.

A day in the life
No two days look the same, but most weeks you will spend real time building. You will build with AWS to dive deep on the experience. You will turn what you learn into content and guidance that developers and their agents can rely on.

You will spend the rest of your time moving the strategy forward. That means working with service and product teams on the changes that make their services easier to build with, writing the docs that set direction, and helping the broader team raise the bar.
