Jr. Software Development Engineer (Sde) Internship

Amazon is looking for a highly-motivated Jr. Software Development Engineer (SDE). Jr. SDEs write real software and collaborate with experienced software engineers who provide guidance and opportunities for ownership on projects that matter to our customers. As a year-round intern, Jr. SDEs become fully integrated into their teams and regularly contribute to impactful deliverables. Your design and code will contribute to solving some of Amazon's most complex technical challenges.

The Jr. SDE role is part of Amazon's Jr Developer Program - a year-round internship opportunity that offers a symbiotic relationship between work and school. Jrs. receive 1:1 mentoring throughout their time in the program, receiving guidance and insight from a full-time Amazonian on their team. Because of the internship's extended tenure, our Jrs. become immersed in an Amazon team and gain real-life technical experience. Flexible part-time schedules during the school year and full-time employment over the summer creates an environment where students can succeed in both their work and their education. Tempe has an established population of Jrs., allowing for deep connections with fellow students engaged in similar roles.

Our team is currently looking for students to start with our January 2026 cohort. Upon successful completion of the Jr. Developer Program, the opportunity for full-time employment may be available at an Amazon corporate site.
