Software Dev Engineer III, Amazon Private Brands, APB Tech

Amazon • Seattle, WA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

The Amazon Private Brands (APB) team is building the shared data, workflow, and AI agent platform that powers the next generation of APB products. As a Software Dev Engineer III on the team, you'll own and evolve core platform capabilities — from dynamic data management and task orchestration to AI agent infrastructure built on Amazon Bedrock. You'll work across the full stack, influence technical direction, and partner closely with consuming teams to ensure platform scales to meet the org's needs. Beyond technical depth, we're looking for someone who operates with high ownership and broad impact. The right candidate doesn't just execute — they identify what needs to be built, align stakeholders, and drive it to completion. They make the engineers around them better and leave the codebase in a better state than they found it.

Requirements

• 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
• 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
• Experience in written and verbal communication with the ability to present complex technical information in a clear and concise manner to executives and non-technical leaders

Nice To Haves

• Experience with enterprise-scale infrastructure or development-based cloud programs/projects in a related industry
• Experience integrating with or building on top of LLM/AI agent frameworks (Bedrock, Strands, MCP)
• Track record of owning a service end-to-end from design through production operation
• Usage of generative AI tools to enhance workflow efficiency, with a willingness to learn effective prompting and evaluation practices.
• Ability to recognize opportunities where generative AI could enhance products, workflows, or customer experiences.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate high-availability backend services in Java on AWS (ECS, RDS, EventBridge, Lambda)
• Own the technical roadmap for one or more platform areas — data management, task lifecycle, or agent infrastructure
• Drive architecture decisions and write design docs that influence how APB teams build on top of platform
• Lead cross-team integrations, defining APIs and contracts that downstream teams depend on
• Mentor junior engineers and raise the technical bar through code reviews, design feedback, and engineering standards
• Partner with product and leadership to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions
• Operate what you build — own your services through on-call, monitoring, and incident response

Benefits

• health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
