Software Development Engineer III - AI-Native Engineering Systems, FBA WANT TO BUILD AI SYSTEMS - NOT CARRY A PAGER?
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) lets sellers worldwide leverage Amazon's world-class logistics infrastructure - storage, fulfillment, delivery, returns - as a service. Sellers from Fortune 50 companies to hundreds of thousands of small businesses in 135+ countries rely on FBA, which powers tens of billions in annual GMS across dozens of categories.
Most engineering teams spend their best hours reacting - triaging tickets, babysitting deployments, answering the same operational questions over and over. We're building the opposite team. Our entire charter is to build the AI-native systems that make reactive work disappear: agents that resolve operational issues before a human sees them, self-healing pipelines that deploy without manual gates, and a knowledge foundation that lets software answer for itself.
You won't be absorbing FBA's operational load - you'll be engineering it out of existence.
This is a VP-funded, multi-year charter with end-to-end ownership and a leadership-backed mandate. You'll work at the frontier of applied AI - LLM-powered remediation agents, machine-readable operational knowledge, autonomous deployment systems - and see your work adopted across 55+ teams and 500+ engineers. We operate with startup intensity inside Amazon: small teams, fast cycles, and the freedom to invent.
Why this team is different
- Build systems, not backlog. Your job is to invent AI-native tooling - not to sit in an operational queue. Your work is measured by how much reactive toil it eliminates for other teams.
- AI at the core, not bolted on. You'll ship LLM-powered remediation agents, autonomous workflows, and a knowledge foundation that makes AI-assisted development the default across FBA - real production systems, not prototypes.
- Learn from the best. You'll join a dedicated pod with direct access to multiple senior and Principal SDEs for design guidance, code review,
and mentorship - with a clear path to grow your scope and visibility on a VP-sponsored charter.
- Provable impact. Your systems free up the equivalent of dozens of engineers across FBA - measured, visible, and tied directly to a leadership-backed goal.
What you'll build
- Agentic remediation systems - LLM-powered agents that detect, diagnose, and resolve operational issues automatically, replacing manual runbooks with self-executing guidance.
- Self-healing deployment platforms - protected primitives, automated integration testing, and pipeline intelligence that drive teams toward fully continuous, hands-off delivery.
- The FBA knowledge foundation - the OE infrastructure and knowledge-graph tooling that let AI systems reason about FBA's services and answer operational questions autonomously.
Key job responsibilitiesBasic Qualifications
