Amazon Industrial Robotics is building the future of manufacturing and industrial operations. Our team combines cutting-edge robotics technology with world-class software engineering to deliver AI-native solutions that operate on an unprecedented scale. Were pioneering high-performance, low-latency systems (<100ms) that coordinate complex robotic operations while continuously learning and improving from production data. Youll work with passionate builders who are customer-obsessed and committed to technical excellence in applying buffer-centric and flow optimization principles to create manufacturing environments where humans and robots work safely and efficiently together. In this environment your contributions directly impact Amazons ability to serve customers worldwide by optimizing entire systems rather than individual components.

 

Amazon Industrial Robotics is seeking an exceptional Software Development Engineer to build and scale software systems that enable advanced manufacturing capabilities and industrial operations. You will design, develop, and deliver critical components of our software stack, from real-time operational systems to enterprise-scale platforms, working at the forefront of AI-driven robotics and automation technology that orchestrates sophisticated operations at unprecedented scale.

 

As an SDE, you will apply strong technical skills to solve complex problems while collaborating with cross-functional teams including Senior Engineers, Principal Engineers, Software Development Managers, Technical Program Managers, and technology partners. You will leverage AI in development practices to enhance productivity through AWS Kiro and other AI-native development tools and contribute to building AI-enabled product capabilities. This is a ground-floor opportunity to make significant technical contributions to a strategic robotics initiative that combines cutting-edge AI, distributed systems, and advanced manufacturing processes.

 

Key Job Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and extend high-performance, test-driven code that is scalable, maintainable, and meets business requirements for industrial robotics systems
  • Implement solutions that are scalable, cost-effective, and operate reliably at Amazon scale
  • Participate in technical design reviews and contribute to architectural decisions for distributed systems supporting manufacturing operations
  • Build software solutions leveraging AI-native development practices and tools to enhance productivity and contribute to AI-enabled product capabilities
  • Own delivery of software components from design through deployment, including production support and operational excellence
  • Follow and help maintain technical standards for code quality, testing, deployment, and monitoring
  • Collaborate with team members and provide technical guidance to junior engineers
  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions
  • Work in an Agile/Scrum environment to deliver high-quality software with aggressive timelines
  • Identify and solve difficult problems with well-defined solutions
  • Participate in technical reviews and provide valuable feedback
  • Contribute to continuous improvement in development processes, tools, and practices

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

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.
