Amazon is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to lead the rebuild of the input layer that powers device planning, forecasting, and inventory systems. You will guide architectural decisions, drive automation, and raise the engineering bar across teams.
You will mentor engineers, participate in design reviews, and collaborate with product managers and scientists to translate requirements into scalable designs. This role demands hands-on leadership and a passion for reliable systems.
Description
Amazon decides how many devices to build, where to ship them, and what to charge from a layer of inputs this team owns. You will lead the rebuild of that layer — agent-first, and designed so the systems reading it can't disagree with each other. That means the architectural calls: how these services should be designed, what they have to meet before we call them operationally ready, and where manual work gets replaced by automation.
The team's scope is growing, and you will shape how it grows.
What you will work on:
Setting technical direction and architecture across the services the team owns
Raising the engineering bar through design review, code review, and operational standards
Aligning with engineers on partner teams on shared interfaces and ownership boundaries
Replacing recurring manual work with automation and better design
Mentoring engineers as they grow into deeper technical ownership
Key job responsibilities
Design, build, and operate the most technically complex parts of the input layer, using AI-assisted development and agents to replace work that is manual today
Set technical direction and architecture, including decisions to consolidate, rebuild, or retire systems
Lead design and code reviews, and define the operational standards a service meets before the team owns it
Partner with product managers, scientists, and engineers on other teams to turn requirements into designs and to align on shared interfaces and ownership boundaries
Mentor engineers through design guidance, written documentation, and pairing
A day in the life
Your primary focus is the layer of inputs that Amazon's device planning, forecasting, and inventory systems all read from. A handful of services, and every build and allocation decision downstream depends on them agreeing.
You're rebuilding that layer to easily allow stakeholders to manage a whole product line's inputs for high-impact decisions. You'll make the calls on what that architecture looks like.
About the team
We own the inputs Amazon's device planning, forecasting, and inventory systems depend on — the data behind what gets built, where it ships, and at what price. Our customers are internal: the planners who own each product line, finance partners, and the science and engineering teams downstream. You'll work with them directly.
We're rebuilding it so each input lives in one place and stays correct without someone tending it, moving toward agent-based interfaces.
Basic Qualifications
7+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
7+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
7+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
Preferred Qualifications
7+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
