Sr Software Dev Engineer, Amazon Advertising

<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">DESCRIPTION</h2><div>
We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer who will own the infrastructure, platform, and production systems that underpin our agentic advertiser guidance framework. In this role, you will lead the design, build, and scaling of core services such as tool orchestration, agent execution engine, evaluation pipelines, model serving/tuning infrastructure, and monitoring systems. You will work closely with applied scientists and engineers to translate prototype agent capabilities into robust, scalable production systems. You will need to rapidly learn and apply new techniques in agent deployment, model tuning, reinforcement learning infrastructure, multi-step reasoning orchestration, and system optimization. You will build APIs, pipelines, and frameworks that allow agents to reason, plan, and act reliably at scale, ensuring low latency, high throughput, resilience, fault tolerance, versioning, and safety guardrails. A critical aspect of this role is being customer-obsessed: you will work backwards from advertiser needs to ensure that infrastructure decisions enable real customer-facing experiences. You will also partner with cross-functional teams&mdash;science, product, operations&mdash;to continuously iterate the agentic architecture, evaluation metrics, and tuning loops. This is a high-impact role where you balance deep technical craftsmanship with product sensibility, setting standards, influencing architecture, and owning end-to-end delivery of agentic capabilities.
