    Description

    Are you passionate about building software that operates at massive scale and directly impacts millions of customers? As a Software Development Engineer II at Amazon, you will design, build, and deliver features that solve real problems and create meaningful value. You will own your work end-to-end - from understanding customer needs through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations. This role offers the opportunity to tackle complex technical challenges, collaborate with talented engineers, and shape the systems that power Amazon"s products and services. If you are a creative problem-solver who thrives on turning ambiguity into clean, maintainable solutions, we want to hear from you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Design and implement software solutions across the full development lifecycle, including requirements gathering, system design, coding, testing, deployment, and ongoing operations.
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand customer and business needs, translating them into well-architected technical solutions that balance scalability, performance, and maintainability.
    • Mentor and coach fellow engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge-sharing sessions, raising the overall quality bar for your team"s software.
    • Identify and resolve root causes of operational issues, driving permanent fixes and continuously improving system reliability and team processes.
    • Evaluate and integrate modern tools and approaches - including generative AI capabilities - to improve development productivity, code quality, and the overall customer experience.

    A day in the life

    You start your morning reviewing a pull request from a teammate, providing feedback that strengthens both the code and the engineer behind it. Mid-morning, you join a design review where you present your approach for a new feature, fielding questions and refining your plan with input from peers. After lunch, you dive into implementation, writing clean and well-tested code. Later, you investigate an operational metric that looks off, trace it to a configuration issue, and ship a fix before end of day.

    About the team

    Our team is focused on building reliable, scalable software that customers depend on every day. We value collaboration, thoughtful engineering, and a commitment to getting the details right. We invest in each other"s growth through mentorship, inclusive discussions, and a shared drive to improve. If you are looking for a team where your contributions have visible impact and where you can grow alongside engineers who care deeply about their craft, we would love to have you join us.

    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.
