Workshop Studio (WS) is an AWS platform that powers hands-on technical learning and product experiences for hundreds of thousands of current and potential AWS customers. WS is transitioning to an AI-native architecture with agentic systems that will discover content, guide participants in real time, automate workshop quality review and generate post-event intelligence.Key job responsibilities
Agentic AI Systems: Build AI-powered capabilities on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore such as content discovery, adaptive participant guidance, automated session summaries with lead scoring, agent-assisted authoring and simulated participant playthroughs for content validation.
Multi-Tenant Platform & Integration APIs: Design multi-tenant workshop management with per-partner isolation, access controls, and lifecycle tooling. Build integration APIs that let high traffic AWS websites provide sandbox environments on demand.
Authentication & Authorization: Evolve the authentication and authorization architecture across multiple identity providers to support partner authentication, scoped permissions for external users, and cross-tenant content sharing.
Technical Leadership & Operational Excellence: Lead design reviews, mentor a team of backend plus frontend engineers and produce architectural documents that shape multi-year decisions. Own production health through on-call rotations, incident response, retrospective reviews and runbook maintenance.

You pair with engineers on database access patterns for the multi-tenant content store. You prototype an AI feature that generates post-event session summaries from platform telemetry. You sync with the program manager on cross-team dependencies and align with the engineering manager on sprint priorities. The work spans platform architecture, agentic AI development, mentorship, and cross-functional collaboration.
