Software Development Engineer, AWS EventsTechnology&MarketerExperience

Amazon • Austin, TX

23d • $143,700 - $194,400 • Onsite

About The Position

As a forward-deployed engineer on the Events Technology Team, you will act as both builder and technical partner for the stakeholder teams. You operate at the intersection of engineering and customer experience, with high autonomy, direct stakeholder access, and work that drives measurable outcomes. You'll be part of a small, focused team delivering AI solutions for the attendee experience. Each engineer owns an experience and ships directly. Build AI-powered experiences across re:Invent surfaces: the mobile app, Amazon Quick, and on-site kiosks that surface personalized session recommendations and wayfinding for 60K+ attendees. You will bring expertise in AI/LLM and agentic workflows to identify where AI removes manual steps, build production-grade solutions, and iterate based on real usage. Prototype fast, ship to production, and measure impact. This role is for self-starters. You're here to build. You see the problem, own it end-to-end, and deliver the solution. You thrive without detailed specs. Ambiguity energizes you. If you want to see your work used by tens of thousands of people within days of shipping, this is the role designed for you.

Responsibilities
