    Job Description

    Amazon Private Brands (APB) is reinventing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) with AI at its core. Private Brands Central (PBC) is our PLM platform, and we"re building a new generation of AI-native experiences, from Gen AI copilots that accelerate new product development to agentic workflows that automate the manual, high-dwell steps in bringing a product to market.

    As a Software Development Engineer II on our team, you will design and build the AI-powered components and features that make this happen, working across the full software development lifecycle, from working backwards from customer needs through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations. This is a hands-on role where you"ll embed Gen AI and agentic capabilities into sourcing, quality, sustainability, and detail-page workflows, turn functional and technical requirements into clean, maintainable code, and collaborate closely with engineers and internal customers to deliver the right solutions. You"ll get to apply the latest Gen AI tools and techniques to real, high-volume product-development problems and see the efficiency gains land. Your work will directly shape how APB products are sourced, developed, and launched.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Design and implement scalable components and features across the PBC PLM platform, translating functional and technical requirements into clean, well-structured code.
    • Contribute across the full software development lifecycle - design, code review, testing, deployment, and operational support - identifying and resolving root causes of operational issues.
    • Build customer-facing experiences and back-end services that support sourcing, quality, sustainability, and detail-page workflows.
    • Collaborate with engineers, product partners, APB stakeholders, and the 3P PLM vendor to understand needs and deliver the right solutions.
    • Evaluate and integrate new tools and approaches - including generative AI and automation capabilities - to improve productivity, code quality, and product-development workflows.

    A day in the life

    You might start your morning reviewing a design document for a new PBC feature, then jump into a code review with a teammate before writing code for a capability that helps APB teams move faster. After lunch, you could pair with a colleague to troubleshoot an operational issue, find its root cause, and implement a permanent fix. Throughout, you"ll balance new feature work with operational improvements, and regularly connect with the engineers and business partners who rely on the systems you build.

    About the team

    This team builds functional modules within the Private Brands Central Product Lifecycle Management tool to accelerate speed to market for new product development for Amazon Private Brands (APB) and reduce dwell time for specific processes, increasingly powered by Gen AI and automation. Examples include: developing an externalized module for sourcing Request For Quotations (RFQs) from APB suppliers, launching an automated process to manage sustainability and quality related claims for APB products, and automating ASIN and Detail Page creation on Amazon systems. The team is partnering with a 3P solution to build out an integrated PLM tool with an industry-leading software 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 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.
