Software Development Engineer, Demand Tech Experience

About the role

We're looking for an experienced Software Development Engineer (SDE) to develop AI-powered advertiser workflows for Amazon Ads.

You'll own the design and delivery of highly scalable systems that advertisers, agencies, and sellers use to build, manage, and serve ads to targeted audiences across Desktop, Mobile, Kindle, Video, and Retail. We're building a full-service advertising platform - and AI agents are at the center of it.

Our tech stack spans React/TypeScript frontends to Java backend services with agentic AI orchestration. We need engineers comfortable working across the full stack - if you lean toward UI or services, we have flexibility to match your strengths.

Key job responsibilities

• You'll own features end-to-end - working directly with customers to scope requirements, design solutions, implement, test, and launch. Our systems serve advertisers at Amazon scale, and you'll be responsible for building and maintaining both the React/TypeScript frontend and Java backend services that power them.
• You'll design and develop agentic AI workflows - you'll work with LLMs to build intelligent campaign creation and management experiences that fundamentally change how advertisers interact with our platform.
• You'll help define the technical vision for our next phase of scale and complexity. You'll partner across multiple teams to deliver unified advertiser experiences through shared components and common frameworks.
• You'll raise the engineering bar - through code reviews, design discussions, and mentoring - while continuously improving the performance, reliability, and developer experience of our systems.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
• 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience
• 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
• Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
