Software Development Engineer

Interested in building the next generation of operational platforms that power complex workflows across thousands of internal and external users? Interested in designing highly scalable systems that leverage the full power of Amazon Cloud? Massive data volume + complex business rules in a highly distributed and service-oriented architecture = a world-class automation and workflow management challenge. We are looking for a talented and self-driven individual to join our team. In this role, you will design, build, and own features that advance our platform — from intelligent automation and workflow optimization to cross-org integrations. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, taking end-to-end ownership of complex technical problems while collaborating with a small, high-performing team.

The ideal candidate will draw upon exemplary analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, deep software development experience, and a passion for creating maintainable, highly reliable, and scalable systems accessed by thousands of internal customers and cross-functional stakeholders. Successful members of this team collaborate effectively with internal customers and dependent development teams across Amazon to deliver new capabilities against high operational standards of system availability and reliability. In the space of workflow management and automation tools, engineers on this team solve problems for the first time and have the opportunity to convert solutions into generic, reusable components for the broader engineering community. We look for engineers who are excellent communicators, self-motivated, flexible, hardworking, and who like to have fun. This candidate also plays an active role in reviewing technical designs from the team and in mentoring other developers.

You will have the opportunity to play a key role in building new software products and features from the ground up. Your work will allow you to utilize a melting pot of technologies, programming languages, and systems — and require you to keep up with the ever-changing technological landscape. Your responsibilities will include all aspects of software development, with the freedom and encouragement to explore your own ideas and the reward of seeing your contributions benefit Amazon worldwide. Our team is looking for a talented software development engineer who can tackle large, complex projects and drive meaningful impact at scale.
