Join Amazon's CIA Interactions Team and build the AI-powered tools that run Amazon's global network at scale. As an SDE II, you'll design and ship products that automate network infrastructure management across thousands of Amazon fulfillment centers worldwide, putting LLM technology directly in the hands of network engineers.
Our team owns a diverse portfolio of high-impact products: Turbo AI, an intelligent autonomous agent that reasons across Amazon's internal operational data to answer complex engineering questions; Imperium Inspector, an LLM-powered debugging service that eliminates hours of manual log analysis for network operators; Imperium UI, the single-pane-of-glass web platform for visualizing and executing network deployments globally; Cafe CLI, the command-line backbone engineers rely on daily to manage network infrastructure; and Fine-Grained Access Control (FGAC), the dynamic authorization system that governs safe, context-aware access across all Imperium services. We are also actively building the next generation of AI agents, including Imperium Assistant and Imperium Inspector Agent on top of our Turbo Agent Service (TAS) platform.
What makes this team unique is the breadth of the work. In a single sprint, you might ship a new AI agent, improve a React-based dashboard used by hundreds of engineers, harden an authorization policy in FGAC, or build a CLI command that eliminates a manual operational burden. You will own your solutions end-to-end from design to production on a modern AWS stack including ECS Fargate, Bedrock, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, and Lambda.
We are a team that moves fast, obsesses over customer experience, and believes that the best infrastructure automation should be seamless. If you're passionate about applying AI to real operational problems and want to see your work directly reduce toil for engineers at Amazon scale, this is the team for you.
