Software Development Engineer II, Amazon Software Builder Experience (ASBX)
About The Position
The Code Services team in Amazon Software Builder Experience (ASBX) owns all source control at Amazon — GitFarm, GitHub, and GitLab. Amazon builds on our platforms — literally. Millions of repositories, hundreds of thousands of production systems, and every AI agent writing code at Amazon today push changes to infrastructure we own and operate. We're looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to own and drive the architecture, design, and delivery of systems that operate at massive scale. You'll define technical direction for ambiguous problem spaces, lead design across multiple workstreams, and mentor engineers — all while shaping how the next generation of builders, both human and AI, interact with source control at Amazon.
