We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to design, build, and operate customer-facing capabilities across native and web clients, advancing the client that enterprise agents will work through while supporting a system that millions of people depend on today. Industry consensus points to a growing share of cloud desktop workloads becoming agentic in the coming years. We build the client software those desktops are reached through, which is exactly why the Agentic WorkSpaces Client team can lead that shift. Today, most of the team's work is building and running the clients our users rely on; the agentic share of the roadmap grows from there. Your work includes secure session connectivity, client lifecycle, cross-platform architecture, user experience, performance, software updates, operational telemetry, and integrations supporting human and agentic workflows. You will own features from design through production, collaborate with teams across AWS, solve complex issues in customer-managed environments, and maintain a high bar for security, reliability, and operational excellence.
Agentic WorkSpaces offers a combination most roles don't: the early build-out of agent infrastructure on the scale of a mature AWS service. You will not be starting from a blank page, and you will not be maintaining a system in stasis. You will shape the evolution of Amazon WorkSpaces by extending a proven system rather than rewriting it. The problems span operating systems, web technologies, networking, security, and distributed services, and your work will directly influence how people and AI agents securely interact with enterprise applications. We are passionate about our customers and love to solve their most critical problems. If you enjoy hard problems that span the client and the cloud, and want to work with a talented, inclusive team that prides itself on a great work environment, join us.
