The posting

Are you interested in building AI-powered services at the core of Amazon Quick on AWS? AI is reshaping how people work, and Amazon Quick is at the center of that transformation on AWS. Amazon Quick's built-in catalog lets organizations discover, share, and install agents, skills, connectors, and many quick resources — giving teams ready-made AI capabilities they can use from day one. We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to own the architecture of the distributed services behind the skills platform and the broader catalog experience.

Amazon Quick is growing and we need senior Software Development Engineers who move fast, break down and solve complex problems, and have a strong will to get things done. This is an opportunity to lead technical direction on an experienced team of AWS engineers working on services within the skills, web search and catalog space, with a high degree of visibility across Amazon Quick and the broader AWS organization.

As a senior engineer on this team, you will lead technical direction across the services that power agentic resource authoring, discovery, publishing, versioning, and organization-level administration. Your design decisions will determine how customers build, browse, install, and share AI-powered agentic resources across their companies. If you want to solve real distributed-systems problems on a product that is actively changing how organizations use AI, this is the role for you.

What makes this role special?

- You will own high-visibility services at the core of Amazon Quick, with the scope to shape their architecture and direction. - You will solve hard problems in distributed systems, data platforms, and marketplace infrastructure, at AWS scale. - You will lead and grow a strong engineering team, leaving a lasting mark on both the people and the technology. - You will build on AWS, the platform that defines the cloud industry, and ship features that reach customers around the world.

Key job responsibilities - Own the architecture and technical direction of multiple distributed services, balancing reliability, scalability, performance, and cost. - Lead large, ambiguous, cross-team initiatives from design through launch and production operation. - Set and raise engineering standards across the team — code quality, design reviews, operational excellence, testing, and secure-by-design practices. - Build and operate the infrastructure for Enterprise Data Platforms, applying modern distributed systems, data streaming, and data management best practices. - Build the platforms that instrument key data, surface data quality issues, and provide data lineage and visibility, working with product owners and engineers across the company. - Improve the reliability, performance, and operational posture of the team's services, including on-call leadership and incident response. - Communicate clearly with teams and stakeholders, escalate issues at the right time, and resolve conflicts. - Mentor and grow engineers, raising their technical depth and multiplying the team's impact. - Set technical strategy within the team and influence technology across Amazon Quick and beyond.

About the team The Quick Marketplace team owns the skills platform and catalog experiences within Amazon Quick, part of Amazon Web Services (AWS). We build and run the services that let customers discover, install, publish, and manage agents, skills, connectors, and other quick resources across their organizations — end to end from design to production.

Our team is investing in the infrastructure that makes it simple for organizations to customize Quick for their industries and workflows. Joining now means you will shape how the skills platform scales during a period of rapid growth, working alongside experienced engineers on problems that reach AWS customers worldwide.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
