About The Position
We are looking for a Senior Principal Tech Lead Manager for AWS Transform, a frontier agent for migration and modernization. You will help architect and drive the technical evolution of autonomous AI agent systems that modernize mission-critical enterprise infrastructure and very large codebases.
