Kiro's spec-driven development and autonomous agents act as virtual teammates, handling everything from requirements gathering to code review, test generation, infrastructure scaffolding, and documentation updates, while keeping humans in control of every diff before it ships.

Your impact will be immediate and visible. You will partner with Product, Engineering, Product Marketing, and Documentation teams to improve activation and retention while connecting with developers on their feedback based on their usage of Kiro.…
