Amazon Advertising is looking for a Software Development Engineer to design and build agentic AI orchestration systems that enable AI agents to autonomously manage advertising campaigns. You will work on the Ads Agent Orchestration platform — building agent runtimes, tool/skill frameworks, evaluation pipelines, and integrations with Amazon's advertising APIs. This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of generative AI applied to one of Amazon's largest and fastest-growing businesses.

Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement core components of the Ads Agent Orchestration platform including agent runtime, MCP server integrations, and skill/tool frameworks
- Build and maintain production services handling real-time agent interactions with advertising APIs (campaign management, bidding, reporting)
- Develop evaluation and observability infrastructure for agentic systems (OTEL tracing, CloudWatch integration, automated eval harnesses)
- Drive technical design for new features end-to-end: write design docs, lead reviews, implement, test, and deploy
- Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, design guidance, and pair programming
- Contribute to operational excellence: on-call rotations, runbook development, and incident response
- Collaborate with Applied Scientists and partner teams to integrate ML models and agent capabilities into production systems


A day in the life
- Write and review code for agent orchestration services (Python, TypeScript/CDK)
- Participate in design reviews and sprint planning
- Debug and resolve production issues across the agent request path (A3C → DX MCP Gateway → AgentCore → AdsFabricSDK → Strands/Bedrock)
- Review and merge pull requests from teammates
- Collaborate with partner teams on API contracts and integration testing
- Contribute to team technical discussions and architecture decisions
