Full Job Description
We're looking for a Senior SDE-T to define and own quality engineering for Amazon Lists as we build AI-powered customer experiences. You'll bring a quality-first mindset and raise the bar for how we ship at Amazon scale.

Our team is reimagining how hundreds of millions of customers curate, discover, and connect through lists. We're applying generative AI to transform Lists and collaborative shopping into intelligent, personalized experiences. As we build these 01 features on top of Tier-1 systems serving billions of daily requests, we need quality engineering that keeps pace with our ambition.

You'll architect test frameworks that validate AI-powered list features (where outputs are non-deterministic and customer experiences are conversational), design scalability and performance testing across our service fleet, and embed quality gates into our CI/CD pipelines. You'll influence how our development engineers build for testability and represent quality engineering in our roadmap planning.

You'll own our quality strategy end-to-end: from designing test architectures and building scalable automation frameworks, to partnering with product and development engineers to ship list experiences that work reliably at scale. You'll be a technical leader, mentoring engineers, influencing team practices, and ensuring we ship with high confidence as we iterate rapidly.
