At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate on behalf of our customers. The focus we have on our customers is why we are one of the world’s most beloved brands – customer obsession is part of our company DNA. Software Development-Test Engineers (SDE-T) use cutting-edge technology to solve complex problems and get to see the impact of their work first-hand.

There is a certain kind of person who takes on this role at Amazon – someone who is excited by the idea of creating new products, features, and services from scratch while managing ambiguity and the pace of a company whose ship cycles are measured in weeks, not years.
