Software Development Engineer, Frontier AI and Robotics

New Today

Join the Frontier AI & Robotics Infrastructure team where you'll build the foundation for next-generation AI in robotic systems that are revolutionizing Amazon's fulfillment network. We're creating the infrastructure that powers intelligent robots capable of understanding their environment and manipulating objects with unprecedented flexibility.
As a key member of our team, you'll: • Design and implement robust CI/CD pipelines for AI infrastructure • Build scalable data processing systems that power machine learning models for robotic perception and manipulation • Create and maintain development environments that enable rapid innovation for research scientists and engineers • Collaborate with world-class AI and robotics researchers to bring advanced AI capabilities to production systems • Work on infrastructure that will scale to support hundreds of robotic stations across Amazon's network
We're looking for engineers passionate about robotics, distributed systems, and building reliable infrastructure. You'll be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence while working on technology that directly impacts Amazon's ability to deliver packages to customers worldwide.
Key job responsibilities • Develop and optimize data processing infrastructure for our data platform to support machine learning model training, telemetry collection, and performance analysis • Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure software • Build and enhance development environments that enable researchers and engineers to rapidly prototype, test, and deploy new robotics capabilities • Implement scalable compute infrastructure solutions to support large-scale training jobs and inference workloads across hundreds of robotic stations • Collaborate cross-functionally with research scientists and engineers teams to integrate advanced AI models into production robotics systems and resolve complex technical challenges
A day in the life On our team, you'll build the infrastructure backbone that powers AI robotics research. Unlike typical infrastructure roles, you'll work directly with world-class researchers, iteratively translating their needs into scalable solutions. You'll tackle unique challenges at the intersection of distributed computing, machine learning, and robotics—from optimizing data pipelines for foundation model training to creating development environments that accelerate innovation. We keep processes lightweight and agile, focusing on removing obstacles rather than creating them. Your work directly enables scientific breakthroughs that transform how robots perceive and interact with the physical world.
About the team Our team is building the future of intelligent robotics through frontier foundation models and end-to-end learned systems. We tackle some of the most challenging problems in AI and robotics, from developing sophisticated perception systems to creating adaptive manipulation strategies that work in complex, real-world scenarios.
We have an ambitious research vision and practical impact. We leverage Amazon's massive computational infrastructure and rich real-world datasets to train and deploy state-of-the-art foundation models. Our work spans the full spectrum of robotics intelligence – from multimodal perception using images, videos, and sensor data, to sophisticated manipulation strategies that can handle diverse real-world scenarios. We're building systems that scale to meet the demands of Amazon's global operations.
Join us if you're excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotics, working with world-class researchers, and seeing your innovations deployed at unprecedented scale. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
