We are looking for a Junior AI Developer to help us design, build, and improve AI agents on AWS Agent Core. These agents will be used to automate manual company workflows, support engineering teams, and help us move faster across the business. We do not expect you to be an AI expert.

We want someone who is excited to build, test ideas, figure things out, and continuously improve systems over time. You will work closely with engineering and business stakeholders to turn repetitive work into agent-driven workflows. Some agents may support operational processes, while others may be focused on engineering productivity, development workflows, and internal tooling. You’ll play a key role in shaping how AI agents are designed and deployed across Whip!
