Are you excited about building software that operates at massive scale and directly impacts millions of customers? As a Software Development Engineer II for Amazon Business Operations, you will design, build, and deliver features that solve unique B2B supply chain tech problems while raising the bar on code quality and operational excellence. You will work across the full software development lifecycle, from defining requirements and designing systems to deploying and operating production services. This is an opportunity to grow your technical skills, mentor fellow engineers, and contribute to software that matters. If you are a collaborative, curious engineer who thrives on turning ambiguous problems into clean, maintainable solutions, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement software solutions across major portions of your team's systems, balancing functional and non-functional requirements such as scalability, performance, and security.
- Deliver working features spanning the full software development lifecycle, including requirements gathering, system design, coding, testing, deployment, and operational support.
- Actively participate in code reviews, providing meaningful and constructive feedback to teammates, and coach others on producing high-quality, maintainable code.
- Identify root causes of operational issues and drive permanent fixes, continuously improving system reliability and your team's operational processes.
- Collaborate with customers, stakeholders, and cross-functional partners to understand business needs and ensure your solutions deliver the right customer value.

A day in the life
You start your morning reviewing deployment metrics from a recent launch, then jump into a design discussion with teammates to map out a new feature. After lunch you write and test code, pausing to review a pull request from a colleague and share feedback. You wrap up by triaging an operational alert, identifying the root cause, and documenting a fix. Throughout it all, you balance new feature work with operational improvements and mentoring newer engineers on your team.
