Description

AI is transforming software development. The next generation of developer tools and services will leverage AI to significantly increase developer productivity and software quality. AWS is at the forefront of this AI-driven transformation of the software industry. We are creating a new service to seamlessly integrate AI into the software development process thereby transforming the way software is built and maintained for projects ranging from web apps to back-office operations.

We are looking for engineers who want to build software operating at the cutting edge of the industry. You will work with an exceptional team to solve hard problems and learn new skills. You’ll have opportunities to work with and learn from best-in-industry senior engineering talent. In addition to the technical challenges provided by the innovative use cases that we are working on, you will also learn how to build a service that meets AWS’s high bar for availability, scalability, and security.

You’ll have a direct line to our customers’ experience and a direct means to improving it. On a daily basis, you’ll work with teammates to review each other’s code, mentor and be mentored. You’ll have an opportunity to lead from day one, from leading projects, to driving technical processes, to selecting programming languages and frameworks, to teaching and learning from your teammates.

Learn and Be Curious. We have a formal mentor search application that lets you find a mentor that works best for you based on location, job family, job level etc. Your manager can also help you find a mentor or two, because two is better than one. In addition to formal mentors, we work and train together so that we are always learning from one another, and we celebrate and support the career progression of our team members.

Inclusion and Diversity. Our team is diverse! We drive towards an inclusive culture and work environment. We are intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. Team members are active in Amazon’s 10+ affinity groups, sometimes known as employee resource groups, which bring employees together across businesses and locations around the world. These range from groups such as the Black Employee Network, Latinos at Amazon, Indigenous at Amazon, Families at Amazon, Amazon Women and Engineering, LGBTQ+, Warriors at Amazon (Military), Amazon People With Disabilities, and more.
