As a Software Development Engineer, you'll build the foundational tooling that powers the Amazon Ads Machine Learning Platform — including servers, skills, knowledge bases, and agents that enable partners across the organization to deliver intelligent experiences.

You'll design and launch features aligned with industry-standard AI frameworks while leading projects that drive innovation for customers. This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of developer experience and AI technology, where your contributions directly shape how teams across Amazon build, deploy, and scale AI solutions — from prototyping to production.

Key job responsibilities

• Design and develop scalable software systems that support the full development lifecycle of AI tools and services
• Lead technical projects from conception to completion, collaborating with stakeholders to deliver high-impact solutions
• Participate actively in code reviews, providing meaningful feedback to team members and ensuring code quality across the platform
• Identify and resolve root causes of operational issues while implementing improvements that enhance system reliability and performance
• Work with customers and stakeholders to understand business requirements and translate them into robust technical solutions for AI development tools

A day in the life
You'll lead technical projects end-to-end, guiding them from design through successful delivery while actively identifying new opportunities to enhance our AI development platform.
