Senior Software Development Engineer , P&S Engineering Services

Description

We are looking for a customer‑obsessed Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE 3) to join our Engineering Services team. In this role you will lead the design and delivery of cloud‑native production‑ready software and infrastructure that our customers integrate into their own offerings. You’ll own team‑level architecture, drive technical strategy, and build repeatable, scalable solutions that transform how Pro Serve delivers value while conveying Amazon development practices to our customers.
Ideal candidates are technical leaders who love to learn and invent, with strong system design and architecture skills, deep experience making software design and implementation trade‑offs, and the ability to lead projects that span multiple engineers. Experience with modern cloud‑native applications, distributed systems at scale, and Dev Ops practices are highly applicable.

• Own team‑level architecture, providing system‑wide design guidance and ensuring solutions are well‑designed, extensible, performant, and secure.
• Lead projects requiring the work of multiple engineers; drive technical strategy and make one‑way‑door technical decisions with sound judgment.
• Design and deliver working software systems spanning the full lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
• Set and drive adoption of engineering best practices on the team — code organization, clarity, simplicity, error handling, documentation, and operations.
• Solve complex problems with multiple risks and roadblocks using solutions that are as simple as possible; clearly explain problems to others in simple, concise terms.
• Balance speed of delivery with long‑term architectural requirements; proactively simplify code and resolve architecture deficiencies.
• Build consensus across the team and related teams when confronted with differing technical viewpoints.
• Actively coach and mentor multiple engineers; grow the team through recruiting, assessing, and providing career guidance.
• Communicate technical designs and decisions effectively in writing for both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Ensure your team has strong operational practices: alarms, telemetry, runbooks, and retrospective/COE processes.
• Obtain/maintain AWS Certifications.
• Occasional travel to customer sites (~20%).

Amazon values diverse experiences and encourages candidates to apply regardless of traditional career paths.
