Job Description

As Technical Leaders, Senior Software Engineers at Amazon excel in tackling complex, ambiguous problems with minimal guidance. They consistently deliver high-impact solutions while maintaining a long-term perspective on the team's software architecture. These engineers not only address current architectural deficiencies but also propose and lead large-scale projects that may involve the entire team. Senior SDEs demonstrate a deep understanding of their systems' business impact, skillfully balancing short-term technological needs with long-term business objectives. As key influencers in team strategy, they foster meaningful discussions with customers and peers, providing context for current technology choices and steering future decisions.

Taking ownership of team architecture, Senior SDEs offer system-wide design guidance and drive engineering best practices across Operational Excellence, Security, and Quality domains. They address root causes of persistent issues, often influencing software decisions beyond their immediate team. Their ability to build consensus and navigate conflicting viewpoints is crucial in charting the best path forward. These leaders actively contribute to recruiting efforts and share their expertise through coaching and mentoring within the organization. Amazon SDEs excel in adopting software engineering best practices, including design, testing, version control, documentation, build, deployment, and operations.

Proficient in languages like Java and C++, they produce high-quality, maintainable, and robust code. Their problem-solving approach involves understanding the broader context and implementing simple, effective solutions without over-engineering. Senior SDEs demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of data structures, algorithms, and design patterns, applying them judiciously to solve business problems. Their deep knowledge of operating systems' performance and scalability contributes to the creation of software that is both efficient and easy for others to contribute to. Senior SDEs deeply resonate with Amazon's customer-centric philosophy, ensuring their technical innovations are intrinsically aligned with and driven by overarching business objectives.
