Why we read it this way (6)
Location is not specified in the posting — no CBSA or state could be determined. This is likely a US-based role given the Amazon/AWS context, but the exact metro is unknown.
The role is a hybrid of hands-on software/developer-experience engineering and technical content/advocacy work, making it a genuine SOC toss-up between 15-1252 (Software Developers, for the build-and-validate work) and 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts, for the standards/guidance/product-feedback work). Primary day-to-day emphasis on building with AI agents and shipping fixes tips it toward 15-1252.
The 5+ years requirement is stated at the role level ('5+ years of software development or developer experience engineering experience') and is captured as the overall experience minimum, not tied to any single technology.
Programming language proficiency is required but the JD explicitly treats Python, TypeScript, Go, and Java as interchangeable options — Python is listed as the primary with the others as alternatives.
Open-source contributions appear only under Preferred Qualifications.
No compensation range is disclosed in the posting.
