About the role

Description

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 and help design, build, and deliver solutions that solve real-world problems at scale. In this role, you will contribute across the full software development lifecycle—from working backwards from customer needs through design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations.

You will tackle complex technical challenges, write clean and maintainable code, and collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to deliver features that make a meaningful difference. If you are a self-starter who thrives on turning ambiguous problems into simple, effective solutions, we want to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities

  • Design and implement software features and improvements across major portions of your team's systems, ensuring high-quality, maintainable, and well-documented code that can be extended by others.
  • Collaborate with customers, stakeholders, and cross-functional peers to understand business and customer needs, translating requirements into scalable and performant technical solutions.
  • Participate actively in the full software development lifecycle, including product definition, scoping, design, code reviews, testing, deployment, and ongoing operational support.
  • Evaluate and integrate generative AI tools where appropriate to augment productivity and solution quality, while applying responsible practices to refine outputs.
  • Identify root causes of operational issues and implement permanent fixes, routinely finding opportunities to improve your team's technical processes and system reliability.

A day in the life

Your day might start with a design discussion where you help shape the architecture for a new feature, then shift to writing and reviewing code alongside teammates. You will balance building new capabilities with improving existing systems, mentoring fellow engineers, and resolving operational issues as they arise. Expect to engage directly with product and business partners to ensure the solutions you deliver align with customer needs, while keeping your technical skills sharp by exploring new approaches and industry innovations.

About The Team

Our team at Amazon is focused on building reliable, scalable software that directly improves the customer experience. We value collaboration, clear communication, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Every engineer has a voice in shaping our technical direction, and we invest in each other's growth through mentorship and knowledge sharing.

We are excited about what lies ahead and are looking for engineers who want to help us build the next generation of solutions that serve customers worldwide.

Basic Qualifications

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience

  • 3+ years of Video Games Industry (supporting title Development, Release, or Live Ops) experience
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience

Technical questions 5
What is the difference between WHERE and HAVING clauses in SQL? Answer
Model answer: WHERE filters rows before any groupings are applied, while HAVING filters aggregated groups after GROUP BY has executed.
Explain SQL Window functions: ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), and DENSE_RANK(). Answer
Model answer: ROW_NUMBER() assigns unique sequential integers. RANK() assigns identical ranks to ties and skips ranks. DENSE_RANK() assigns identical ranks to ties without skipping rank numbers.
How do you handle NULL and missing values during data cleaning in Python/Pandas? Answer
Model answer: Use .isna().sum() to identify missing values. Impute with mean/median using .fillna() or remove with .dropna(subset=[...]) depending on variance impact.
What is the difference between Star Schema and Snowflake Schema in Data Warehousing? Answer
Model answer: Star Schema has denormalized dimension tables directly connected to the central Fact table. Snowflake Schema normalizes dimension tables into sub-dimensions to minimize redundancy.
How do you calculate MoM (Month-over-Month) growth in SQL? Answer
Model answer: Use LAG(revenue, 1) OVER (ORDER BY month) to fetch the previous month's revenue and compute (revenue - prev_revenue) / prev_revenue * 100.
Behavioural & HR questions 3
