Job description

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. About ZipStaff ZipStaff partners with leading organizations to connect skilled technology professionals with high-impact contract opportunities. We focus on quality matches, clear communication, and long-term success for candidates and clients. To apply, submit your resume with named Amazon tools (Brazil, Apollo, Pipelines, Coral, MCP/Ada). Generic AWS-only résumés will not be submitted. Pay: $60 - $62 per hour
