Want to help modernize thousands of Amazon services through intelligent
automation? We create systems that transform how teams build and enhance their
services at massive scale We create tools that make other engineers' lives
easier and are looking for someone passionate about solving complex problems at
a massive scale.
What makes this role special is the combination of automated distribution and
artificial intelligence. You'll build systems that help services across Amazon
work better together, making it easier for teams to add essential capabilities
like monitoring and security features. When you improve our tools, thousands of
services automatically benefit - that's the kind of impact you'll have every
day.
In this role, you'll design and build systems that other developers rely on.
You'll take projects from idea to implementation, working closely with teams to
understand their challenges and create solutions that matter. Clear
communication is key, as you'll often share your technical solutions with others
and help them succeed. You'll make thoughtful decisions about how to improve our
systems while helping other engineers grow and learn.
Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer, you'll design and build systems that help
teams automatically add important capabilities to their services. You'll create
well-tested code that can handle high-scale deployments and write clear
technical documentation to help others understand and use your solutions. Day to
day, you'll collaborate with other engineers to review code, debug production
issues, and improve our deployment processes. You'll talk directly with the
teams using our tools to understand their needs and pain points, then turn those
insights into better solutions. While you'll own your projects end-to-end,
you'll also work closely with experienced engineers who can help guide technical
decisions and mentor you in your growth.
