Senior Software Engineer, Amazon AI at Work
About The Position
As part of the AWS Applied AI Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations. We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges. We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions. Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who will lead the technical vision and innovation in revolutionizing how Amazonians use AI. You will be part of the Amazon AI at Work (AIW) team building the next generation of AI agents that transform how business professionals operate and reshape the future of hybrid (AI + human) work. As a Senior Software Engineer, you are a recognized technical leader who drives the engineering strategy, mentors team members, and partners with cross-functional teams to deliver complex end-to-end AI solutions. Your work focuses on architecting and implementing robust systems in ambiguous problem areas where both the business problem and solution approach need to be defined. The problems you tackle require significant technical innovation at the product level. You take ownership of the long-term technical vision, product roadmaps, and technologies, defining how they should evolve. You build consensus through thoughtful discussions with stakeholders, scientists, and engineering peers across multiple teams. You bring deep expertise to provide context for current and future technology choices, and make strategic recommendations on system architecture and implementation approaches to achieve transformative business outcomes and user experiences.
