Software Dev Engineer II, ASBX

Description

The Pipelines team, part of the Amazon Software Builder Experience (ASBX) organization, builds and operates the CI/CD platform used by thousands of Amazon builders every day to safely and swiftly release software. We orchestrate the building, testing, and deployment of software systems at massive scale, performing over five million deployments daily. This role provides a unique opportunity to directly improve the day-to-day life of Amazon builders.

AI is transforming how software is built and shipped, and we are at the forefront of this transformation, reimagining what CI/CD looks like when Generative AI can help developers create, configure, debug, and optimize their deployment workflows. This is a unique chance to shape the future of developer tooling at a company where the developer community is both the customer and the proving ground.

We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to help us build the next iteration in CI/CD by continuing to develop and expand our smart orchestration layer, Dynamic Releases. As part of our team, you will own the services that power Amazon's releases and influence a system that helps thousands of engineers deploy their changes. Inside Pipelines, we seek to make the software release process smarter each day and to reduce more and more of the manual interventions builders at Amazon have to deal with.

A successful candidate will bring deep technical expertise in building developer-facing products, a passion for building projects incrementally and fast, as well as a demonstrated ability to operate in highly technical teams. You will 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.
