Do you want to solve real customer problems through innovative technology? At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf of our customers. Our Software Development Engineers (SDEs) use modern technology to solve complex problems while seeing their work's impact first-hand.

As an SDE-I, you'll own the entire lifecycle of your code — from design through deployment and ongoing operations. You will design and build scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems using cloud-native architectures and microservices. You'll work in an agile environment practising CI/CD principles, participate in code reviews, contribute to technical documentation, and take part in on-call operational responsibilities.
