About the job

We are looking for an experienced Software Development Engineer to join a highly respected team building one of the largest configuration audit platforms in the world. We are building agentic AI solutions that automate the end-to-end lifecycle of resource type onboarding - from research and schema authoring through testing, validation, and deployment. You'll work at the intersection of large-scale distributed systems and AI-driven automation, designing agents that can reason about AWS service APIs, author configuration schemas, and validate correctness with minimal human intervention.

Responsibilities

- Design, build, and operate high-scale, highly available distributed services that extend AWS Config.

- Design and build AI agent orchestration systems that automate resource type onboarding at scale

- Own solutions across the full lifecycle: design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and support.

- Own operational excellence for agentic workflows - monitoring, alerting, and self-healing mechanisms

- Mentor and guide junior engineers through design reviews and constructive, rigorous code reviews.

- Bring structure to ambiguous problems, manage competing priorities, and make data-driven decisions.
