AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.

We're on the lookout for the curious — those who think big and want to define the world of tomorrow. At Amazon you will grow into the high impact person you know you're ready to be. Every day will be filled with exciting new challenges developing new skills and achieving personal growth. How often can you say that your work changes the world? At Amazon you'll say it often. Join us and define tomorrow. Do you want to solve business challenges through innovative technology? Do you enjoy working on new scalable services technology in a team environment? Do you like working on industry-defining projects that move the needle? At Amazon we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf of our customers. The focus we have on our customers is why we are one of the world's most beloved brands - customer obsession is part of our company DNA. Our Software Development Engineers (SDEs) use novel technology to solve complex problems and get to see the impact of their work first-hand.

Key job responsibilities

• Collaborate with experienced cross-disciplinary Amazonians to conceive, design, and bring innovative products and services to market.

A day in the life

The challenges SDEs solve for at Amazon are big and influence millions of customers, sellers, and products around the world. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about creating new products, features, and services from scratch while managing ambiguity and the pace of a company where development cycles are measured in weeks not years.
