About this job

The Velocity Labs team mission is to think beyond the confines of the normal product-orientated approach and to discover new ways to apply and embrace agentic AI. We have noticed how the open-source community, and some of our competitors, experiment with new ideas, and deliver initial products fast. With Velocity Labs we are building an organization that can move faster, explore more, and make sure AWS is at the cutting edge of innovation in agentic AI.

We are looking for people who are hands-on builders, have strong curiosity, strong bias for action, and maintain high standards. If you can work collaboratively, learn quickly, and deliver results, you are likely a fit for this team.

As a Software Development Engineer in our team, you will be responsible for designing and building AI primitives and user facing services in a fast paced environment. You will ship features from concept to design to implementation and through to roll-out and support.

In this role, you will follow best practices of software development to ensure project schedules are met and software quality is high. You will create and review system designs and work with the team to build the service. You will actively participate in the team's planning and brainstorming to help us shape the future direction of our product. Our team is an AI first team and we leverage AI enabled tooling throughout the product lifecycle to enable us to deliver high quality product fast.

Agentic AI drives innovation at the forefront of artificial intelligence, enabling customers to transform their businesses through AI solutions. We build and deliver the foundational AI services that power the future of cloud computing, helping organizations harness the potential of AI to solve their most complex challenges. Join our dynamic team of AI/ML practitioners, applied scientists, software engineers, and solution architects who work backwards from customer needs to create innovative technologies. If you're passionate about shaping the future of AI while making a meaningful impact for customers worldwide, we want to hear from you.

Join us to build innovative solutions that help customers visualize and understand their AWS applications, making troubleshooting and problem diagnosis easier and more efficient.
