What You’ll Do: - Provision test accounts, access, and environments on native builder systems. - Design, write, and run integration and load tests in Amazon Pipelines. - Refactor and expose microservice APIs so they are MCP-ready (metadata, fields, tool names). - Enable and register MCP endpoints in Ada Agent and Quick Suite; author AgentCards. - Support deployments via Brazil version sets and keep pipelines healthy. - Remediate Policy Engine and SAS security and policy findings. - Handle manual deploys, minor defects, and low-severity operational tickets.

Preferred Qualifications: - Kiro IDE and BuilderHub. - Gordian. - Distributed systems / SOA. - Current or recent Amazon SDE or Amazon contractor. Benefits: - Healthcare insurance (employee-only). - Dental insurance. - Vision insurance. - 401(k). - Paid time off.
