Job description
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will shape the architecture behind transformative solutions powered by Agentic AI that automate and optimize Amazon's global employee onboarding and experience operations. You will be the senior technical owner across the Employee Onboarding and Experience (EOE) contingencies and services tech portfolio — a strategic initiative driving $50M+ in annual operational savings and delivering significant productivity gains and experience improvements for 1.5M+ employees and part-time workers.
This high-impact role involves navigating the complexity of 3M+ transactions annually across 67 countries in critical functions like Background Checks, Drug Tests, Medical Checks, and Relocation. You will define the architectural patterns that let us leverage AI and automation to reimagine these processes — eliminating repetitive manual work, replacing vendor-brittle integrations with durable ones, and empowering service teams to focus on high-value, human-centric activities.
Your technical leadership will be essential as you drive the design and delivery of foundational data infrastructure, reusable primitives, and intelligent AI agent-based workflows. You will set the reference architecture other teams build to, make the reuse-vs-rebuild calls that decide whether our efficiency commitments land durably, and partner closely with stakeholders across Operations, Corporate, AWS, and International teams to translate pain points into technical solutions at scale. You will be the senior engineer other engineers go to for design reviews, deep-dive investigations, and "what does right look like" calls on cross-service architecture — mentoring engineers around you toward a higher bar and modeling it in every doc you write.
This challenging role requires exceptional technical depth, strong written and verbal communication, and the ability to balance long-range architectural vision with tactical execution in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
You will navigate complex global regulations, make data-driven technical decisions with far-reaching impact, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, secure solutions that enhance Amazon's hiring and employee management capabilities. If you're passionate about leveraging advanced technologies to streamline operations and elevate the employee experience — and you want your architectural decisions to show up in real business outcomes — this is an unparalleled opportunity to drive change and deliver outsized business value.
