Description

Amazon Kids brings together all types of content that kids and parents love, including books, games, educational apps, movies and TV shows.

Here's more information: http://www.amazon.com/kids

Do you want to create and deliver innovative AI based products for millions of customers? We are looking for a talented Software Development Engineer with experience building and shipping innovative software to join the Amazon Kids - VUI Entertainment team. Our goal is to create a revolutionary experience for parents and kids to enjoy on our Amazon family of devices.

Key job responsibilities
- Create solutions to leverage latest Gen AI advancements to build innovative and safe features for Kids.
- Collaborate with experienced cross-disciplinary Amazonians to conceive, design, and bring innovative products and services to market.
- Design and build innovative technologies in a large distributed computing environment and help lead fundamental changes in the industry.

A day in the life
The challenges SDEs solve for at Amazon are big and influence millions of customers, sellers, and products around the world. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about creating new products, features, and services from scratch while managing ambiguity and the pace of a company where development cycles are measured in weeks, not years.

About the team
Our team's mission is to create premium kid-focused Gen AI experiences that spark creativity, fun, and exploration-driven learning – delivering magical moments that kids absolutely love while earning parent trust.

Gen AI empowers kids to become creators, builders, and explorers in ways never before possible. With Gen AI technology & capabilities evolving at lightning speed, a key opportunity lies in building experiences where kids drive the creativity and AI serves as their tool. We prioritize kids' creativity, fun, and choice – ensuring AI enhances their ideas (aligned with their age, preferences, etc.) rather than replacing their imagination. This approach allows us to maintain kids' creative growth. We excel at effectively integrating kid-safe dimensions into the latest Gen AI features and making advanced capabilities available to our child customers. Additionally, we focus on building an ecosystem of generated content that empowers kids to be creators and confidently share their creations.

- Experience programming with at least one software programming language
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience

Preferred Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
