Are you a software engineer who is excited about writing clean, well-tested code that ships to production and impacts millions of customers? At Amazon, you will have the opportunity to build software that operates at massive scale while growing your technical skills alongside talented engineers. As a Software Development Engineer, you will contribute to the full lifecycle of software—from design and development through testing, deployment, and operations. You will tackle well-defined problems, learn new technologies and design patterns, and collaborate with your team to deliver solutions that create real value for customers. If you are a self-starter who thrives on learning and wants to make a meaningful impact early in your career, this is the role for you.
Key job responsibilities
A day in the life
You will start your day reviewing code changes from teammates and providing feedback during code reviews. From there, you might pick up a well-scoped feature, break it into components, and begin writing and testing your implementation. You will join standups and design discussions where you can ask questions, share progress, and learn from more experienced engineers. When operational issues arise, you will help troubleshoot and resolve them, building your understanding of the systems your team owns.
About the team
Our team is focused on building reliable, scalable software that directly improves the customer experience at Amazon. We value collaboration, continuous learning, and writing code we are proud of. You will work alongside engineers who are invested in helping you grow, whether through mentorship, pair programming, or constructive code reviews. We are excited about what lies ahead and are looking for curious, thoughtful engineers who want to grow with us.

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one.
Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world.
Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind.
You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.
