Amazon Customer Service is transforming how we deliver exceptional experiences to millions of customers worldwide, and we're seeking a Software Development Engineer to help build the next generation of intelligent solutions. In this role, you'll design and implement features within scalable systems that empower team managers and associates to deliver their best work every day. You'll work with generative AI and modern cloud technologies to build solutions that help thousands of team managers provide meaningful, data-driven coaching while giving associates clear visibility into their personal impact on customer experience.
This is an opportunity to work on systems that operate at Amazon scale, processing vast amounts of data and translating complex signals into actionable information for stakeholders ranging from frontline associates to senior leadership. You'll build components that balance sophisticated analytics with intuitive user experiences, ensuring that insights are accessible and actionable for users with varying technical backgrounds. Your work will directly influence how we develop talent, recognize excellence, and continuously raise the bar for customer service quality across the organization.
Key job responsibilities
- Design and deliver features end-to-end, from technical design through production deployment and operational support
- Build components within scalable architectures that process customer interaction data, applying generative AI techniques to surface meaningful patterns and personalized insights
- Contribute to architectural decisions that balance innovation with operational excellence
- Participate actively in code reviews, raising the quality bar for yourself and your teammates
- Write clear technical documents including design proposals, operational runbooks, and post-incident reviews
- Integrate emerging technologies, particularly generative AI and large language models, into production systems with guidance from senior engineers
- Design and implement APIs and data models that support extensibility and long-term growth
- Build monitoring and alerting to ensure the reliability of the systems you own
- Collaborate with product managers, UX designers, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into well-scoped technical solutions

A day in the life Throughout the day, you'll focus on hands-on development of features and systems that shape how associates and managers understand their personal impact on customer satisfaction, while giving leadership insights into the quality of customer service we provide each day.
Your morning might start with a quick win, like prototyping a GenAI agent to gather immediate feedback on a proposed solution. You'll discuss your approach with teammates and your tech lead to validate the design. In the afternoon, you attend a Lunch and Learn to stay on top of new emerging technology, before tackling a challenging problem with your peers.
