Software Development Engineer, Amazon Customer Service

Description Want to build customer service experiences that resolve millions of contacts across Amazon’s global marketplace? Join a team where your code directly eliminates customer friction and transforms how associates solve complex order issues.

• Own and ship full-stack features end-to-end in a high-scale distributed environment
• Design resolution systems that handle tens of millions of weekly customer interactions
• Work at the intersection of real-time data orchestration, intelligent automation, and customer experience
• Ship to production frequently with high autonomy and direct impact visibility

Key job responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate distributed services that power customer service resolution workflows at Amazon scale
• Own features from requirements through production, including operational excellence and on-call
• Build APIs and integrations that unify data from multiple upstream services into coherent customer-facing experiences
• Drive technical decisions within your scope — choose the right architecture, advocate for trade-offs, and deliver incrementally
• Collaborate with product, UX, and partner engineering teams to translate ambiguous customer problems into technical solutions
• Mentor teammates, contribute to design reviews, and raise the engineering bar through code quality and operational rigor
• Identify and resolve systemic issues proactively — reduce toil, improve reliability, and simplify complexity

A day in the life

Throughout the day, you’ll focus on hands-on development of features and systems that shape how customers experience resolution at Amazon scale.

Your morning might start with checking metrics from a feature you shipped last week, seeing real customer impact in the dashboards. You’ll hop into a design review with teammates to debate how to surface information and actions for a customer problem, making the resolution path seamless for Customer Experience. In the afternoon, you attend a Lunch and Learn to stay on top of new emerging technology, before tackling a challenging problem with your peers that impacts millions of customers.
