Head of Developer Education, Kiro

Description

Do you enjoy working with AI agents, solving complex problems, and sharing technical insights with fellow developers? Are you excited to explore and educate other developers about using AI agents to transform how software is designed, implemented, and deployed? If so, then this might be your dream job.

We are seeking an experienced Head of Developer Education for Kiro to define, build, and scale Kiro’s developer experience and enablement. You will craft a comprehensive education strategy that helps developers— from first‑time explorers to advanced users— understand, adopt, and master how they can use Kiro to build new applications, troubleshoot issues, and refactor and improve existing ones.

This role sits at the intersection of content strategy, developer experience, curriculum design, and developer feedback loops. You will partner with Product, Engineering, Support, and Marketing to ensure education directly improves activation, retention, and meaningful usage of Kiro while helping more developers understand and embrace agentic software development.

We place significant value on candidates who have built a meaningful public presence in the developer community. While not a strict requirement, an existing audience and demonstrated ability to create content that attracts and engages technical communities at scale will be very beneficial.

• Define and continually refine Kiro’s developer education strategy and long‑term roadmap.
• Build compelling, structured learning paths and own the developer learning experience as a strategic lever for product growth and trust.

• Produce high‑impact education artifacts: tutorials, walkthroughs, how‑to guides, best‑practice playbooks, code samples, interactive labs, long and short videos — whatever it takes.
• Translate complex agentic AI concepts into clear, actionable lessons that developers can apply immediately.
• Partner with engineering to keep educational content aligned with product changes and releases.

• Systematically gather developer feedback on learning pain points, confusing workflows, and patterns of failure.
• Communicate insights back to Product and Engineering to reduce friction and improve the overall product experience.
• Use telemetry and qualitative user signals to measure and improve education impact.

• Lead programs that integrate education into community touchpoints — office hours, workshops, webinars, events, and interactive sessions.
• Enable internal and external educators to represent Kiro’s best practices and workflows.

• Measurable increase in developer activation and meaningful product usage tied to education paths.
• Published education content that becomes canonical learning resources for Kiro users.
• Tighter developer feedback loops that inform product quality and documentation improvements.

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, or related STEM fields, or experience in software development.
• 10+ years of experience in developer education, developer experience, developer relations, technical content leadership, or related roles.
• Deep technical fluency — you understand developer workflows, can read/write code, and can explain technical concepts clearly.
• Proven success creating structured learning paths and educational content that measurably improve user outcomes.
• Comfortable working cross‑functionally with product, engineering, support, and community teams.
• Experience with AI‑assisted or intelligent developer tools, and familiarity with how developers adopt new paradigms.

• Experience writing technical articles, speaking at technology conferences, and contributing to open source.
• Experience growing or leading an education, Dev Rel, or developer experience org.
• Track record improving developer onboarding and retention through education investments.
