Description

Are you passionate about leveraging GenAI to simplify the builder experience and accelerate innovation at Amazon scale?

The GenAI Tools & Agentic Ecosystem team is on a mission to make AI agents a natural extension of every Amazon builder"s workflow. We build the platforms that let teams create, publish, and discover AI skills and tool integrations - and we enable autonomous agents to tap into Amazon"s vast internal ecosystem on behalf of builders. We are part of Amazon Software Builder Experience (ASBX), the organization that provides the tools and platforms every Amazon engineer uses to build, test, deploy, and operate software.

This is a rare opportunity to shape how thousands of engineers work with AI. As an SDE II, you will build the infrastructure layer that connects generative AI to the daily work of Amazon builders - from the APIs agents call, to the platforms teams use to ship new AI capabilities company-wide. If you want your code to multiply the productivity of thousands of engineers, this is the role.

Key job responsibilities

Design and build scalable platform services for distributing AI skills, agents, and tool integrations to builders across Amazon

Develop APIs and infrastructure that enable autonomous agents to securely access internal resources and systems

Build benchmarking and prompt trace analysis systems that measure agent quality, identify regressions, and drive continuous improvement of AI capabilities

Partner with teams across Amazon and AWS to onboard new AI capabilities and drive adoption across the builder ecosystem

About the team

The GenAI Tools team operates at the center of Amazon"s AI agent ecosystem. Every decision we make - what tools agents can access, how capabilities are distributed, what quality bar is enforced - ripples across hundreds of thousands of builder sessions weekly. We enable tools like Kiro, Claude Code, Codex and autonomous agents to accelerate developer workflows at a scale that is unmatched outside Amazon.

About Company

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
