Job Title: Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE) – Platform & CI/CD.
Location: Remote (U.S. only).
Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099).
About the Opportunity:
ZipStaff is seeking Senior Software Development Engineers to support platform enablement and CI/CD for a large-scale technology organization using Amazon’s internal builder stack.
This is not a generic AWS or Jenkins role. You must have hands-on experience with Amazon internal tools (Brazil, Apollo, Pipelines, Coral) and be able to enable microservices for Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Ada Agent and Quick Suite.
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.
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years software engineering in Java, C++, or TypeScript.
- 3+ years hands-on Amazon internal builder tools: Brazil (version sets), Pipelines, Apollo, and Coral.
- 1+ years AI agent / MCP work (Ada Agent, Quick Suite, or equivalent Amazon agent stack).
- Experience with Amazon security and policy frameworks (Policy Engine, SAS).
- U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder only — no sponsorship now or in the future.
- Must work remote from the United States.
- Standard AWS CI/CD only (Jenkins, CodePipeline, CDK) does not meet this requirement.
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.
