Software Development Engineer, Foundational AI Applications

Amazon Foundational Ai Applications

Are you looking to work at the forefront of AI tools that solve real problems for Amazonians? Amazon Foundational AI Applications, part of Enterprise Engineering, designs, develops, and operates AI-enhanced business productivity applications that help Amazonians focus on high-value work. We are blazing the trail -- identifying new ways to work that large language models (LLMs) can support -- and building tools that help.

We're creating tools that connect to, collect, interpret, and summarize data from internal data sources. We take that knowledge and turn it into summaries and insights that can be used for report writing, trend analysis, and more - solving hard problems that might otherwise require tedious searching, data assembly, retyping and reformatting.

Our current key projects:

• We're helping Amazonians with creating and maintaining rhythm-of-business documents such as MBRs, QBRs, and OP-1s through AI integrations with productivity tools like project and task management and foundational portfolio management tools used by hundreds of thousands of Amazonians to keep their goals and deliverables tracked and communicated.
• We're helping time-constrained Amazonians with tools that allow for audio-based interfaces for reviewing documents and learning about new concepts in engaging ways, when screens aren't advisable.

You'll be using the latest LLM integration features (such as implementing MCP) to connect data to our AI engines, and wiring assistant features into the productivity tools Amazonians already use, designing beautiful, seamless, easy-to-use experiences that delight our customers.

We're building what's next. Join our team!

Key job responsibilities:

As a Software Development Engineer on the AI Applications team, you will:

• Integrate with MCP servers that provide data from internal services, or help create them
• Design core APIs that are LLM-friendly
• Assist service teams with adding these to existing services through direct development and SME assistance
• Work with product management teams to shape ideas for new tools and workflows that would otherwise not be possible or practical without AI, and be part of building them
• Experiment with new AI technologies and models and produce prototypes to demonstrate their capabilities, as well as the path to productionize them

About the team:

Our product vision is "AI without the DIY."

The Foundational AI Applications team consists of Amazonians with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We use that perspective to think big and broadly, to create new productivity experiences that are now possible through the existence of LLMs interconnected with business data platforms. We are building tools like code and text prediction to the next level of capability and scope, building meaning and context understanding into our tools and helping Amazonians express their ideas alongside data that supports them.
