Software Development Engineer II, Amazon Software Builder Experience (ASBX)

About the role

The Code Services team in Amazon Software Builder Experience (ASBX) owns all source control at Amazon - GitFarm, GitHub, and GitLab. Amazon builds on our platforms - literally. Millions of repositories, hundreds of thousands of production systems, and every AI agent writing code at Amazon today push changes to infrastructure we own and operate.

We're looking for a Software Development Engineer to build and scale the platforms where all Amazon code lives, at a time when AI agents are becoming first-class participants in source control alongside human developers. You'll design and deliver systems that operate at massive scale while shipping features that shape how the next generation of builders - both human and AI - interact with code.

Key job responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate source control infrastructure serving millions of repositories and billions of monthly code operations across Amazon.
• Deliver scalable, highly available services that support GitFarm, GitHub Enterprise, and GitLab - platforms that have >4 nines of availability.
• Build APIs and platform capabilities that enable AI agents and automated systems to interact with source control safely and at scale.
• Drive operational excellence - own on-call, reduce operational toil through automation, and contribute to our AI-native operations approach.
• Collaborate with engineers across ASBX to deliver a unified, secure developer experience across all source control platforms.
• Solve hard distributed systems problems - monorepo scaling, high-throughput git operations, cross-platform consistency, and performance at Amazon scale.
• Contribute to technical design, code reviews, and mentoring of junior engineers.

A day in the life

• As an SDE II on Code Services, you design and build systems that every Amazon developer depends on.
• You might spend the morning optimizing git operations for monorepo performance, then shift to building APIs that AI agents use to interact with source control.
• You collaborate with teammates across GitFarm, GitHub, and GitLab to deliver features and resolve operational issues.
• Your customers are literally all of Amazon - from principal engineers to AI coding assistants.
• You balance shipping new capabilities with operating infrastructure that is always available.
