Software Development Engineer II, Programming Foundations (ASBX)

Are you passionate about leveraging GenAI to simplify the builder experience and accelerate innovation at Amazon scale? Do you want to fundamentally influence the tools and platforms used by engineers to improve the quality of their products?

On this team, you will help shape the future of test automation and GenAI-powered tooling at Amazon. You will deliver features for some of our most leveraged testing platforms, used by tens of thousands of engineers. You will partner with your manager and other leaders to grow the vision for this space and work with your team to build tools that delight our customers.

This is a rare opportunity to shape how thousands of engineers work with AI and testing infrastructure. As an SDE II, you will build the infrastructure layer that connects generative AI to the daily work of Amazon builders—from the APIs agents call, to the platforms teams use to ship new capabilities to customers. If you want your code to multiply the productivity of thousands of engineers, this is the role.
