    Job Description

    We are seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer to join our AI acceleration team. You will embed directly with internal teams across Luna Engineering, Marketing Technology and Business teams, working with their real workflows and constraints to ship AI powered productivity solutions into production. This is a builder role where you own the outcome end to end, from discovery through a live, adopted deployment, and you feed what you learn in the field back into our shared platform and tooling so every other team benefits.

    You are a hands on builder who designs, develops, and operates the systems and agents that bring proprietary and third party models into the daily work of internal teams. You translate a team"s ambiguous, real world problem into a working technical solution, writing production code in whatever stack the work requires. Between engagements, you turn one off solutions into reusable platform capabilities, agents, SDKs, and patterns that scale from one internal team to the next.

    We are looking for a highly collaborative engineer with a customer obsessed mindset with strong business acumen. Ambiguity motivates you to invent and solve problems. You are comfortable being the technical owner in front of business teams you serve, including pushing back on request with data backed alternatives. You thrive in fast paced, entrepreneurial environments and are comfortable owning and executing delivery from start to finish. This is an exciting opportunity to fundamentally shift how teams work using AI.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Embed with internal teams: you work inside a team"s real workflow and constraints to scope, design, and ship AI powered productivity solutions into production.
    • Own the outcome: you define success with each team up front and stay accountable until the solution is live, adopted, and delivering the agreed productivity result.
    • Reach production fast and make it stick: you get to a working production deployment quickly, then enable the team to operate and build on the solution over time.
    • Close the loop to product: when applicable, you turn what you learn in each engagement into reusable platform capabilities, agents, SDKs, and patterns, so a one-off solution for one team becomes the default for the next.
    • Launch cross-functional agents: you identify high value productivity use cases and partner with domain experts to build transformative agentic workflows and systems.
    • Stay ahead and pioneer: you track the latest AI methodologies and tooling, bring the best of them into Amazon Games, and act as an evangelist and change agent who shifts how teams work.
    • You build and operate high scale API infrastructure: you design, develop, and maintain secure, scalable and cost-efficient AI solutions using native AWS.
    • Ensure enterprise grade security, compliance, and responsible AI underpin every solution.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
