The role
From Amazon's own posting.
You will design and build the full-stack software that keeps thousands of robots moving across Amazon's fulfillment network. Your work directly shapes how warehouses operate — from real-time monitoring dashboards that surface equipment health to maintenance tools that reduce downtime and keep packages flowing to customers on time. Every feature you ship is tested against live robotic systems, giving you rapid, tangible feedback on the impact of your code.
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer who is curious, collaborative, and ready to own complex technical problems end to end. You will define technical strategy for your team, mentor fellow engineers, and drive architectural decisions across multiple services. If you want to solve problems where software meets physical robotics at massive scale, this role will challenge and grow you every day.
Key job responsibilities
• Design and lead the architecture of full-stack services that monitor, manage, and maintain robotic fulfillment equipment, balancing scalability, performance, and security trade-offs across front-end and back-end systems.
• Own the technical direction for your team's software portfolio - evaluate when to extend existing solutions versus build new ones, and guide engineers through design reviews to ensure quality and coherence.
• Collaborate with operations, hardware, and partner software teams to translate real-world warehouse needs into well-scoped technical requirements and deliver incremental, production-ready releases.
• Mentor and coach engineers on your team and across related teams, raising the engineering bar through code reviews, design guidance, and knowledge sharing.
• Prototype new capabilities using simulation tools and live robotic equipment, integrating customer feedback to iterate quickly and validate solutions before broad rollout.
