- Collaborate with data scientists and product teams to integrate GenAI/LLM technologies and ML pipelines into production systems that drive personalized customer experiences at scale
- Participate actively in the full software development lifecycle including code reviews, architecture reviews, testing, deployment, and operational excellence activities while mentoring team members on high-quality engineering practices
- Drive technical decisions and design solutions for ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives that balance new feature development with system reliability, performance optimization, and maintainability
- Identify and resolve root causes of operational issues while continuously improving team operations, documentation, and processes to reduce single-threaded dependencies and build team resilience
A day in the life
You'll design and ship features that leverage GenAI-powered services and modern AWS architectures, collaborating closely with scientists to translate ML models into reliable production systems. Your day balances building innovative capabilities with maintaining operational excellence — participating in architecture and code reviews, using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery, and ensuring systems perform reliably at scale. You'll work across teams to shape technical direction while staying current with emerging technologies like GenAI and ML to solve real customer problems.

Amazon runs the largest online store in the United States and rents cloud computing to businesses and governments through Amazon Web Services. AWS pioneered renting computing power over the internet, and Amazon built its own delivery network to get orders to customers quickly. Shoppers buy from Amazon and from independent sellers on its store, and Prime members pay a subscription for fast free shipping, streaming video and music, and other perks. AWS rents out computing power, storage, databases, and AI tools so companies can run software without owning servers, and Amazon also makes Kindle e-readers and Echo speakers with the Alexa assistant. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, and it is based in Seattle, Washington.
