Do you want to solve real customer problems through innovative technology? Do
you enjoy working on scalable services in a collaborative team environment? Do
you want to see your code directly impact millions of customers worldwide?
At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf
of our customers. Customer obsession is part of our company DNA, which has made
us one of the world's most beloved brands.
Our Software Development Engineers (SDEs) use modern technology to solve complex
problems while seeing their work's impact first-hand. The challenges SDEs solve
at Amazon are meaningful and influence millions of customers, sellers, and
products globally. We seek individuals passionate about creating new products,
features, and services while managing ambiguity in an environment where
development cycles are measured in weeks, not years.
At Amazon, we believe in ownership at every level. As an SDE-I, you'll own the
entire lifecycle of your code - from design through deployment and ongoing
operations. This ownership mindset, combined with our commitment to operational
excellence, ensures we deliver the highest quality solutions for our customers.
We're looking for curious minds who think big and want to define tomorrow's
technology. At Amazon, you'll grow into the high-impact engineer you know you
can be, supported by a culture of learning and mentorship. Every day brings
exciting new challenges and opportunities for personal growth.
