Software Development Engineer, WHS Data-Tech

Job :  |  Services LLC

We're looking for a Software Development Engineer to help build the AI and computer vision systems that keep Amazon's workforce safe. This is a chance to work at the intersection of advanced machine learning and real-world impact, writing code that helps reduce workplace injuries for over 1.5 million people.

You’ll join a team of engineers and applied scientists developing computer vision applications, real-time inference systems, and cloud‑native services that detect and prevent safety risks across Amazon’s global operations. You’ll design and build production software end‑to‑end, from ingesting and processing video and sensor data, to deploying ML models at the edge, to surfacing actionable insights through internal tools and APIs. If you’re excited about building systems that combine deep learning, distributed computing, and IoT, and you want to see your code make a tangible difference in people’s lives, this is the role for you.

• Design, develop, and maintain production services that power computer vision and AI‑based safety applications, built on AWS.
• Build and optimize data ingestion pipelines for video, image, and sensor data from edge devices deployed across Amazon facilities.
• Develop APIs and backend services that integrate ML model outputs with internal safety tools and dashboards.
• Collaborate with applied scientists to product ionize machine learning models—handling model serving, inference optimization, and deployment workflows.
• Write clean, well‑tested, and maintainable code while contributing to code reviews, design documents, and architectural decisions.
• Operate and maintain services in production, including monitoring, alarming, troubleshooting, and incident response.
• Identify opportunities to improve system performance, scalability, and reliability as the platform scales to new sites and use cases.

Amazon’s Workplace Health & Safety (WHS) organization is responsible for keeping over 1.5 million employees safe across our global retail operations. Within WHS, our technology team builds the science and engineering capabilities that power Amazon’s safety strategy at scale.

We’re a cross‑functional group of software engineers, applied scientists, data engineers, and technical program managers developing computer vision systems, generative AI applications, sensor and IoT solutions, and analytics platforms—all aimed at reducing workplace safety incidents. You’ll work closely with applied scientists and ML engineers to take models from research to production, and collaborate with TPMs and product managers to deliver solutions that safety professionals rely on every day.

Our culture values technical ownership, curiosity, and shipping systems that create measurable real‑world impact.

• 3+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience.
• 2+ years of non‑internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) experience on new and existing systems.
• 1+ year of software development engineer or related occupational experience.
• 1+ year 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.
• 1+ year of Object Oriented Design experience.
• Bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Experience programming with at least one software programming language.

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