CET owns the technology to support and enhance our Customer Service Operations network through our Self Service and Automation features, CRM, contact center infrastructure, and various client applications. We focus on robust architecture, world class UX, and leverage our Big Data to drive insights and solutions through a myriad of applications.

CET is looking for a Software Development Engineer (SDE) to work on a multi-year, large-scale, enterprise software program.

Key job responsibilities
- Own the implementation and delivery of contact center systems built on top of our next-generation routing system, leveraging the power of Generative AI (GenAI) and Machine Learning (ML) for improved intents and routing signals, and preserving customer contact journey data.

- Collaborate with experienced cross-disciplinary Amazonians to conceive, design, and bring innovative products and services to market.
- Design and build innovative technologies in a large distributed computing environment, and help lead fundamental changes in the industry.
- Ability to design and code the right solutions starting with broadly defined problems.

About the team
This role sits on a team within CET focused on Contact Center Management Systems.

The team aims to reduce customer effort by improving the discoverability of customer access points, creating a contact experience that effectively routes customers to the quickest resolution, as well as maintaining the overall CS contact center configurations. We ensure quick issue resolution on the first contact by investing in foundational technologies to capture and persist routing signals.
