Software Development Engineer II, VPC Lattice

Are you passionate about building software that impacts millions of customers? We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to join our team at Amazon, where you will design, build, and deliver features that solve real customer problems at scale. In this role, you will contribute across the full software development lifecycle—from understanding customer needs to designing, implementing, testing, deploying, and operating software systems. You will work alongside talented engineers, collaborate across teams, and have the opportunity to mentor others while continuously growing your own technical skills. If you are a self-starter who thrives on solving complex problems with simple, well-crafted solutions, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement software solutions that improve quality, performance, and maintainability across major portions of your team's systems, ensuring alignment with long-term architectural goals.
- Contribute to the full software development lifecycle, including product definition, scoping, design, coding, testing, deployment, and operational support, while maintaining high standards for code quality and documentation.
- Collaborate with customers, stakeholders, and cross-functional peers to understand business and customer requirements, translating them into effective technical solutions.
- Evaluate and integrate generative AI tools where appropriate, refining outputs and applying responsible practices to augment productivity and solution quality.
- Mentor and coach fellow engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and onboarding of new team members, helping raise the technical bar across the team.

A day in the life
You might start your morning reviewing a design document for a new feature, then jump into a code review where you share feedback with a teammate. After a standup with your team, you spend focused time writing clean, well-tested code for a project you are driving. In the afternoon, you pair with a newer engineer to help them ramp up on a system you helped build, then wrap up by investigating an operational metric that caught your attention during a deployment.

About the team
Our team at Amazon is focused on building reliable, scalable software that directly improves the customer experience. We value collaboration, technical rigor, and a commitment to continuous improvement. We encourage every team member to bring their perspective to the table, ask questions, and contribute ideas that shape our technical direction. If you are excited about working in an inclusive environment where your engineering contributions have meaningful impact and your growth is supported, this is the team for you.
