AI in this role

ai-agents
Amazon is hiring a Software Developer Engineer to focus on Agentic AI in Brazil, building the capabilities that let AI agents act reliably on real operator workflows. You'll join a specialist team of Product Engineers, Scientists, and Developers within Amazon's emerging-markets technology organization, focused on sustainable growth across Emerging Markets.

Your customers are operators. Planners, ops managers, analysts, support leads. They make hundreds of small judgement calls a day, and your job is to give them agent capabilities that absorb the repetitive ones so they can focus on the calls that actually matter.

In this role you are part builder, part product owner. You scope the pain, design the mechanism, build the prototype, instrument the metrics, then iterate in production. You build the primitives, integrations, and mechanisms behind agentic systems, integrating large language models with internal data and trading off latency, cost, and accuracy with judgement, not by recipe.

Key job responsibilities
- Review agent runs in production, triage operator corrections, and determine which are bugs versus signal that the autonomy boundary needs to move.
- Pair with operators on workflows you are scoping. Watch them work, ask why behind every step, and translate implicit rules into mechanisms the agent can execute.
- Close the feedback gap by ensuring every operator correction becomes a test, an eval, or a prompt update, not lost noise.
- Own the roadmap end to end. Prioritise, demo weekly, and articulate design choices in writing.
- Partner with operations leaders in each market to identify which workflows are agent-ready and which still need a human in the loop.
- Translate ambiguous operator pain points into concrete, measurable mechanisms with clear success criteria.
- Monitor trust score, accuracy, latency, and cost per decision. Dig into regressions before they compound.

Basic qualifications

- Experience (non-internship) in professional software development
- Experience contributing to the architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and current systems
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Preferred qualifications

- Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Skills and AI tools this role asks for

AI Agents

Questions you could be asked

  1. How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
  2. How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?
  3. Tell me about a time a model underperformed in production. How did you find out, and what did you change?

Adapt your resume

  • List these exact terms on your resume: AI Agents. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
  • Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
  • Lead with what you built, trained or shipped — this role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
