Full Job Description

Amazon is building the future of industrial operations. Our team combines cutting-edge robotics technology with world-class software engineering to deliver AI-native solutions that operate on an unprecedented scale. We're pioneering high-performance, low-latency systems (<100ms) that coordinate complex robotic operations while continuously learning and improving from production data. You'll work with passionate builders who are customer-obsessed and committed to technical excellence in applying buffer-centric and flow optimization principles to create environments where humans and robots work safely and efficiently together. In this environment, your contributions directly impact Amazon's ability to serve customers worldwide by optimizing entire systems rather than individual components. Amazon is seeking an exceptional Senior Software Development Engineer to build and scale software systems that enable advanced manufacturing capabilities and industrial operations. You will architect, design and deliver critical components of our software stack, from real-time operational systems to enterprise-scale platforms, working at the forefront of AI-driven robotics and automation technology that orchestrates sophisticated operations at unprecedented scale. As a Senior SDE, you will leverage deep technical expertise to solve complex problems in areas where solutions may not be well-defined. You will work independently with high judgment, taking ownership of significant technical domains while collaborating with cross-functional teams including Principal Engineers, Software Development Managers, Technical Program Managers, and technology partners. You understand how to leverage AI both in development practices (enabling 3x productivity gains through AWS Kiro and other AI-native development tools) and in product capabilities (such as closed-loop learning systems that automatically improve from production data). This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape the technical foundatio
