About this role
Amazon's vision is a world where opportunities to grow, thrive, and connect are available to everyone. We invest in technology that helps employees build new skills, access support, and find community — from personalized onboarding to upskilling and professional development. We're looking for an exceptional Software Development Engineer to help deliver on that commitment at scale. The Growth and Onboarding tech team builds the platform that powers personalized onboarding and development experiences for Amazonians worldwide. Our growth requires engineers who move fast, have an entrepreneurial spirit to create new solutions, have an unrelenting tenacity to get things done, and are capable of breaking down and solving complex problems. As a Software Development Engineer (SDE), you will own the feature design, development, testing, and deployment of components that directly shape how millions of employees discover upskilling opportunities, professional development programs, and career advancement pathways from Day 1. The successful candidate will be a self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to design and build reliable, scalable distributed systems from the ground up. They set a high bar across the full software development lifecycle — design, development, documentation, testing, and operations — and can partner effectively with other software developers, Data Engineers, Data Scientists, and Learning Scientists to answer key questions about how people learn and grow at Amazon. Strong technical ability, excellent project management, and great communication skills round out the profile, along with the ability to think and act both strategically and tactically. This is a greenfield platform with high visibility to senior leadership and high opportunity for impact for those willing to roll up their sleeves and dive deep. You will set the technical bar for quality and reliability on a system that touches the career trajectory of every Amazonian. We're working hard, having fun, making history. Come join us!
