We’re hiring AWS Cloud Platform Engineers to build and own the platform’s foundation. That means the AWS accounts, networking, identity and infrastructure-as-code everything runs on, plus the path from commit to running agent

Each engineer will have a main focus in one of the two areas below and work closely across both. This is a named-team engagement, so the person we propose is the person who starts

Infrastructure & IaC: Build and own the base AWS layer: accounts, networking, identity boundaries, and the reusable IaC modules the rest of the platform is built from

CI/CD & Runtime Deployment: Own the path from commit to running agent: container builds, Amazon ECR, pipelines, environment promotion, and AgentCore Runtime session configuration

Stand up the multi-account AWS structure (Organizations, Control Tower or equivalent) with guardrails and service control policies

Networking: Build secure VPC designs and private connectivity (VPC endpoints, PrivateLink, Transit Gateway) so agent workloads can reach internal systems safely

Identity Boundaries: Define IAM roles, permission boundaries and least-privilege access for platform services, pipelines and consuming teams

Reusable IaC Modules: Build and maintain versioned Terraform and/or AWS CDK modules other teams can use with confidence

Build Pipelines: Design and own CI/CD pipelines that build, test, scan and publish agent containers to Amazon ECR

Environment Promotion: Automate promotion from dev to test to production with approval gates, rollback and version tracking

Runtime Deployment: Configure and deploy agents to AgentCore Runtime, including session settings, scaling, config and secrets handling

Golden Path Templates: Build starter repos and pipeline templates so every new agent is set up and shipped the same way

Security and Compliance: Build encryption, logging, tagging, image scanning and audit requirements in from the start,



working with client security teams

Documentation and Enablement: Write module docs, decision records and runbooks so the platform doesn’t depend on any one person
