Key job responsibilities

• Build and maintain automation systems generating AWS documentation from service metadata and APIs
• Integrate content automation systems with the new AI-first content platform

A day in the life

You'll start your day reviewing automation pipelines that generate documentation for AWS services across multiple domains. You might investigate why service endpoints aren't updating correctly in the AWS General Reference, or work on the CloudFormation automation that generates documentation for hundreds of AWS resource types, collaborating directly with service teams to understand their metadata.

Your work directly impacts millions of AWS customers who rely on accurate documentation for service quotas, regional endpoints, IAM policies, and CloudFormation resources for their operational decisions. You'll spend time enhancing automations to handle new AWS services and data sources, ensuring the documentation stays current with AWS's rapid service expansion.

Beyond individual systems, you'll contribute to the broader content automation portfolio, helping integrate these critical systems with our new AI-first platform. This includes implementing content fingerprinting so the platform can identify and manage automated content alongside human-authored documentation.

About The Team
You'll join the Content Automation team that maintains the invisible infrastructure powering much of AWS's customer-facing documentation. Our automation systems generate content for the AWS General Reference, service-specific documentation, and critical operational information that AWS customers depend on daily.

The team operates at the intersection of content creation and software engineering, building systems that automatically transform service metadata, API specifications, and operational data into high-quality documentation. We work closely with AWS service teams to ensure their documentation stays accurate and current without manual intervention.

We're currently integrating our automation systems with AWS's next-generation AI-first content platform. This presents exciting technical challenges around content identification, quality validation, and seamless integration with both automated and human-authored content workflows.
