Role OverviewThe Software Development Engineer will design and build systems that directly impact how customers find software on AWS, from query understanding to ranking models and evaluation infrastructure.

Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate will be a self-motivated and autonomous engineer who can own hard problems end-to-end and work collaboratively with the team. The role offers opportunities for growth and learning from others, and the engineer will be expected to contribute to the team's success and impact.
