We are looking for a Manager of Software Development to lead a team of engineers building a multi-agent AI platform. This platform enables organizations to design, compose, and deploy autonomous AI agents that collaborate with each other and with humans to execute complex workflows — from code generation and analysis to decision-making and task orchestration across enterprise systems.
The work sits at the frontier of agentic AI: multi-agent coordination, tool use and function calling, retrieval-augmented generation, conversational interfaces, and scalable job execution. The underlying architecture is cloud-native and polyglot, spanning real-time APIs, event-driven compute, analytics pipelines, and integrations with large language models. The platform is built to be modular — agents are composed from reusable skills and tooling, making it possible for teams across the organization to create, share, and evolve intelligent automation without starting from scratch.
As the engineering manager, you will own the delivery of this platform, build and mentor a high-performing team of software developers, and collaborate with product and engineering partners to push the boundaries of what multi-agent systems can do in production. This is a role for someone who is energized by the rapid evolution of AI, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and driven to ship systems that meaningfully change how people work.

About the team
The Agent Platform Organization spans data engineering, business intelligence, applied science, and agentic AI. The org is structured into three primary groups: one focused on core data platforms, tooling, and pipeline infrastructure; another focused on AI/ML models, business analytics, shared data models, product analytics, and strategic science initiatives; and a third focused on building a multi-agent AI platform that enables teams to compose, deploy, and orchestrate autonomous AI agents at scale. Capacity is balanced across direct business support, strategic new development, and operational health.

Basic qualifications

- 3+ years of engineering team management experience
- 7+ years of working directly within engineering teams experience
- 3+ years of designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- 8+ years of leading the definition and development of multi tier web services experience
- Knowledge of engineering practices and patterns for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, certification, and livesite operations
- Experience partnering with product or program management teams

Preferred qualifications

- Experience in communicating with users, other technical teams, and senior leadership to collect requirements, describe software product features, technical designs, and product strategy
- Experience in recruiting, hiring, mentoring/coaching and managing teams of Software Engineers to improve their skills, and make them more effective, product software engineers
- Familiarity with at least one agentic AI development IDE
- Familiarity with Strands Agents, Amazon Bedrock, and Bedrock AgentCore
- Understanding of multi-agent patterns (swarm, graph, workflow) and the A2A protocol
- Familiarity with evaluation of LLMs and AI agents
- Knowledge of responsible AI practices and the use of guardrails
- Familiarity with observability and debugging within AI platforms
