Software Development Engineer, Applied AI Solutions
full-time•Seattle•$143k - $194k
About this role
As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.
Our team leverages Amazon’s operational expertise to build applied AI solutions that businesses love and trust for their day-to-day success. Our ambition is to become a partner which companies can rely on to run their business every day, putting AI to work delivering better customer experiences, operational excellence and faster innovation. We're a 2 pizza team moving fast to build a new agentic product from the ground up. If you are scrappy and bias for action is your favorite LP, you will fit right in.
Our products are designed for business users and we obsess over ease of use, so you must have full-stack experience and be comfortable traversing across backend and front-end. We're prioritizing the following experience:
- 3+ years non-internship experience with architecture of new and existing systems (design patterns, reliability and scaling)
- programming with at least one of Java (Coral framework preferred), Python, or TypeScript
- handling non-deterministic AI/ML systems, including error handling, fallback strategies, and managing unpredictable outputs from LLMs
- Knowledge of personalization systems, recommendation engines, or dynamic content generation
- AWS service launch / production operational experience desired.
Key job responsibilities
You will be expected to influence technical design and product direction, but spend most of your time writing code
