AI in this role

* Work directly with AWS builders community and internal teams to understand needs and translate them into robust solutions.
* Drive engineering excellence through instrumentation, automated testing, and pipeline-based deployment.
* Think big about the agentic era and experiment boldly with AI-powered capabilities such as conversational setup, natural-language troubleshooting, and AI-assisted fleet management.
* Contribute to hiring, mentor junior engineers, and raise the overall engineering bar.
