## Description

ZipStaff is seeking Senior Software Development Engineers to support platform enablement and CI/CD for a large-scale technology organization using Amazon's internal builder stack.
This is not a generic AWS or Jenkins role. You must have hands-on experience with Amazon internal tools (Brazil, Apollo, Pipelines, Coral) and be able to enable microservices for Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Ada Agent and Quick Suite.

What You'll Do:

 * Provision test accounts, access, and environments on native builder systems.
 * Design, write, and run integration and load tests in Amazon Pipelines.
 * Refactor and expose microservice APIs so they are MCP-ready (metadata, fields, tool names).
 * Enable and register MCP endpoints in Ada Agent and Quick Suite; author AgentCards.
 * Support deployments via Brazil version sets and keep pipelines healthy.
 * Remediate Policy Engine and SAS security and policy findings.
 * Handle manual deploys, minor defects, and low-severity operational tickets.
