Software Development Engineer - Shopping Personalization AI, Stores

Amazon's Personalization organization builds the AI systems behind how hundreds of millions of customers discover and shop. We extract and reason over customer signals in real time, power LLM‑driven recommendation experiences, and build AI‑native discovery surfaces that combine products, content, and contextual recommendations. Our work sits at the intersection of generative AI, large‑scale distributed systems, and customer‑facing products, delivered through high‑performance web and mobile experiences at Amazon scale.

In this role you'll design and build features that shape how customers discover products—tailored to their preferences, helping them find exactly what they need, even before they know they need it. We're defining how LLMs integrate into real‑time personalization, how noisy behavioral signals become durable customer understanding, and how AI‑powered experiences ship reliably 'll work across multiple technical teams, ship iteratively, and see your work in the hands of customers quickly.

This organization values experimentation, moves fast, and gives engineers real ownership over what they build. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer with sound technical judgment and a bias for action who takes ownership of problems end to end, communicates clearly, and cares about operational excellence—not just launching features, but making sure they hold up eone who naturally raises the bar for the team: mentoring junior developers, advocating engineering best practices, and thinking beyond the immediate sprint.

• Deliver end‑to‑end solutions with focus on maintainability, scalability, performance, and reliability
• Collaborate with Product and Science to define experiences, run experiments, and iterate based on data
• Build AI‑powered experiences including personalized recommendations, relevance explanations, and knowledge‑driven features using LLMs and generative AI
• Define and implement measurement strategies including analytics events and experiment configurations to track engagement and retention
• Navigate ambiguity and make sound technical decisions in a problem space where established patterns don't always apply

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
• 5+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience
• Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Java, C++, or C# including object‑oriented design
• Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
• Experience contributing to the architecture and design of new and current systems

• Experience building server‑side rendered web experiences (SSR) and performance‑oriented UI rendering patterns
• Experience with experimentation (A/B testing), analytics instrumentation, and metrics‑driven iteration
• Familiarity with AI/ML integration and generative AI applications
• Experience with end‑to‑end SDLC ownership, including operations and on‑call, monitoring/metrics, and incident response/RCA
