At Amazon, we're not just looking for people who can code - we're seeking future
innovators who are ready to transform their classroom knowledge into real-world
solutions. You'll work with technology that powers everything from Amazon.com to
AWS, Prime Video, Amazon Fresh, and Alexa, making decisions that balance
customer needs, technical constraints, and business goals. Whether you're
developing innovative AI models for product recommendations, optimizing our vast
logistics network to ensure faster deliveries, or helping secure homes through
Ring's smart technology, your work will have tangible impact. You might even
find yourself improving operational efficiency in our fulfillment centers using
advanced robotics and machine learning. This hands-on experience at one of the
world's most innovative companies, a pioneer in cloud computing, AI solutions,
and customer experiences, will shape your understanding of how technology
transforms industries and drives global change.
As a Software Development Engineer (SDE) intern, you'll take everything you've
learned in the classroom and apply it to projects that impact millions of
customers worldwide. Instead of theoretical assignments, you'll build real
features that customers use every day. You'll work alongside experienced
engineers who are invested in your success, sharing their knowledge and helping
you grow. The code you write won't be graded and forgotten - it will run in
production, serving real customers across the globe. This is your chance to
learn how to scale applications beyond anything you've tackled in your
coursework.
Amazon internships across all seasons are full-time positions, and interns
should expect to work in office, Monday-Friday, up to 40 hours per week
typically between 8am-5pm. Specific team norms around working hours will be
communicated by your manager. Interns should not have conflicts such as classes
or other employment during the Amazon work-day. Applicants should have a minimum
of one quarter/semester/trimester remaining in their studies after their
internship concludes.
Key job responsibilities
• Collaborate and communicate effectively with experienced cross-disciplinary
Amazonians to design, build, and operate innovative products and services that
delight our customers, while participating in technical discussions to drive
solutions forward.
• Design and develop scalable solutions using cloud-native architectures and
microservices in a large distributed computing environment.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical documentation.
• Build and maintain resilient distributed systems that are scalable,
fault-tolerant, and cost-effective.

enhance development productivity while staying current with emerging
technologies.
• Write clean, maintainable code following best practices and design patterns.
• Work in an agile environment practicing CI/CD principles while participating
in operational responsibilities including on-call duties.
• Demonstrate operational excellence through monitoring, troubleshooting, and
resolving production issues.
A day in the life
As an intern, you will be matched to a manager and a mentor and will have the
opportunity to influence the evolution of Amazon technology and lead critical
projects early in your career.
In addition to working on an impactful project, you will have the opportunity to
engage with Amazonians for both personal and professional development, expand
your network, and participate in activities with other interns throughout your
internship. No matter the location of your internship, we give you the tools to
own your project and learn in a real-world setting.
