AI in this role

Are you ready to write code that impacts millions of people? As a Software Development Engineer at Amazon, you will build software that solves real problems at remarkable scale. You will work alongside talented engineers who care deeply about quality, simplicity, and delivering the right solutions for customers.

This role is ideal for someone early in their engineering career who is eager to learn, collaborate, and grow. You will contribute to the full software development lifecycle — from design and implementation to testing, deployment, and operations — while developing your technical skills in a supportive, fast-paced environment. If you are curious, adaptable, and excited to see your code running in production, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities
- Deliver high-quality, well-tested code that goes to production, following best practices for logical structure, maintainability, and simplicity.
- Collaborate with cross-functional team members to design, build, test, deploy, and maintain software components and features.
- Use appropriate data structures and algorithms to solve problems, making thoughtful trade-offs between factors such as performance, readability, and cost.
- Leverage generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools where appropriate to augment productivity and code quality, while evaluating outputs critically.
- Troubleshoot and resolve software failures and operational issues, participating actively in your team's operational support and root-cause analysis.

A day in the life
You will start your day reviewing code from teammates and picking up well-scoped tasks from your team's backlog. You might spend the morning writing and testing a new feature, then join a design discussion where you ask questions and share ideas with more experienced engineers. Afternoons could involve debugging an operational issue, pairing with a colleague on a tricky integration, or refining documentation. Regular check-ins keep you aligned with your team and give you opportunities to get feedback early.
