Software Development Engineer, Amazon Selection and Catalog Systems

Job ID: 3003902 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Imagine being part of a team that drives the growth of the world's largest online marketplace. We are seeking a talented and resourceful Software Development Engineer (SDE-II) to join our Selection & Catalog Systems team. In this role, you will leverage Generative AI technologies to detect and measure catalog data defects at scale.

Our organization has a strong focus and great track record of growing our employees. This is a unique position that provides an opportunity to build data-driven systems at a scale. While building this platform, you will have the opportunity to learn the entire suite of Amazon catalog systems and services (ingestion, enrichment, validation, reconciliation, matching, storage,...) as well as the customer facing systems (search, product detail page, checkout page...) that consume and display catalog data. You'll also gain exposure to application of Gen-AI technologies, including large language models for image and text generation for catalog enrichment. This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of e-commerce systems and emerging AI technologies, allowing you to shape how we leverage Gen-AI to improve catalog quality, experiment with AI-generated content, and enhance overall customer experience.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of 3+ years in distributed systems design and implementation, as well as a passion for delivering high-quality software in an agile/continuous environment. If you're excited about revolutionizing the Amazon catalog and changing the way we model and understand products, we want to hear from you!

Key job responsibilities
- Design and development of complex systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and efficiency.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues, optimize system performance, and proactively address potential bottlenecks.
- Analyze and process large amounts of data to extract valuable information from various sources (e.g. product catalog, search queries ...)
- Actively participate in idea and roadmap generation.
- Effectively present work to all levels of the leadership.
- Be an effective collaborator in a cross-functional team of Software Development Engineers, Technical Program Managers, and Product Managers.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
