Software Dev Engineer II, AWS Builder Acceleration
Amazon Jobs, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Are you passionate about leveraging GenAI and advanced AWS technologies to simplify builder experience and accelerate innovations at AWS scale? We are building a new organization, AWS Builder Acceleration (AWSBA), focused on reducing toil and increasing building efficiency across AWS builders. Our mission is to accelerate AWS builder teams’ innovation by eliminating friction throughout the software development and operational lifecycle. Through AI-based automated solutions and centralized service management, we address fundamental challenges including Keep The Light On (KTLO) service maintenance burden, launch readiness complexities, and recurring operational load. We work continuously with builder teams to identify emerging challenges and shape our strategic roadmap to reinvent the development and operational ecosystem.
Key job responsibilities
Identify and prioritize high-impact problems that impede AWS software development
Decompose complex builder problems into simple, straightforward, and scalable solutions

Deliver meaningful improvements weekly while working toward long-term transformation
Unique Opportunities
Re-imagine how developers build and operate the software that underpins the world’s largest cloud
Drive significant transformation across AWS engineering
Pioneer the use of cutting-edge generative AI technologies to create the next generation of builder experiences
A day in the life You should have deep expertise in the architecture and business use of AWS technologies. You recognize the transformative potential of generative AI in software development and are excited to pioneer AI-powered builder experiences that fundamentally change how developers write, debug, deploy, and operate code at scale. You remain technically hands‑on and close to the technology. You are passionate about developer experience and get frustrated by inefficiencies that make building software unnecessarily difficult. You understand the challenges AWS developers face today and collaborate with team members to simplify the AWS developer experience. You have experience contributing to complex software development initiatives and will strive for simplicity and demonstrate significant creativity.
