Do you enjoy diving deep into Generative AI, solving complex problems, and sharing technical insights with fellow developers? Are you excited to explore how Generative AI will transform how software is designed, implemented, and deployed? If so, then this might be your dream job.

We are seeking an experienced Head of Developer Education for Kiro to define, build, and scale Kiro's developer experience. You will craft a comprehensive education strategy that helps developers - from first-time explorers to advanced production users - understand, adopt, and master Kiro's capabilities.

This role sits at the intersection of content strategy, developer experience, curriculum design, and developer feedback loops. You will partner with Product, Engineering, Support, and Marketing to ensure education directly improves activation, retention, and meaningful usage of Kiro.

Key Job Responsibilities

  • Define and continually refine Kiro's developer education strategy and long-term roadmap.
  • Build compelling, structured learning paths and own the developer learning experience as a strategic lever for product growth and trust.

Technical Education Content

  • Produce high-impact education artifacts: tutorials, walkthroughs, how-to guides, best-practice playbooks, code samples, interactive labs, long and short videos - basically whatever it takes.
  • Translate complex agentic AI concepts into clear, actionable lessons that developers can apply immediately.
  • Partner with engineering to keep educational content aligned with product changes and releases.

Feedback Loop & Product Insight

  • Systematically gather developer feedback on learning pain points, confusing workflows, and patterns of failure.
  • Communicate insights back to Product and Engineering to reduce friction and improve the overall product experience.
  • Use telemetry and qualitative user signals to measure and improve education impact.

Developer Community & Programs

  • Lead programs that integrate education into community touchpoints - office hours, workshops, webinars, events, and interactive sessions.
  • Enable internal and external educators to represent Kiro's best practices and workflows.

What Success Looks Like (Key Outcomes)

  • Measurable increase in developer activation and meaningful product usage tied to education paths.
  • Published education content that becomes canonical learning resources for Kiro users.
  • Tighter developer feedback loops that inform product quality and documentation improvements.

About the Team

Agentic AI drives innovation at the forefront of artificial intelligence, enabling customers to transform their businesses through cutting-edge 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 groundbreaking technologies. If youre passionate about shaping the future of AI while making a meaningful impact for customers worldwide, we want to hear from you.

The Kiro Team

The Kiro team is building the future of software development. We believe coding is quickly evolving to spec-driven, agent-powered collaboration where developers orchestrate intelligent systems that design, implement, test, secure, and operate software alongside them. Kiro is our next-generation agentic development system: a suite of AI agents and experiences that work across IDE, CLI, Web, and other environments to function as true engineering teammates.

We are inventing new interaction models for developers-multi-agent workflows, persistent team learnings, long-running autonomous tasks, and deeply integrated cloud skills. This is not an incremental evolution of code completion. This is a re-definition of how software gets built. Come join us on this mission!

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
