Software Development Engineer

In this role, you'll be at the forefront of Amazon's expansion into agentic platforms, writing production-code that powers critical integration points and customer experiences. Your typical day will involve designing and implementing APIs that enable secure and efficient communication between Amazon's services and external platforms, building robust middleware components (MCPs) that handle complex integration scenarios, or crafting responsive React-based user interfaces that deliver seamless customer experiences across platform boundaries.

You'll work independently to tackle complex technical challenges, making pragmatic decisions that balance speed of delivery with technical excellence. This includes leveraging the latest GenAI coding tools to accelerate development while maintaining Amazon's high standards for code quality and security. You'll collaborate with product managers to refine requirements, with designers to ensure pixel-perfect implementation of customer experiences, and with other engineers to design scalable solutions that can handle Amazon-scale traffic.

A significant portion of your time will be spent on system design and architecture discussions, code reviews, and operational excellence. You'll own your services end-to-end, from initial design through deployment and operational excellence, ensuring they meet stringent performance, security, and reliability requirements. As an experienced engineer, you'll also mentor other team members and contribute to the team's technical direction through thoughtful design reviews and architecture discussions.
