Description

Scale at Amazon is, well, really big. There are few companies out there building at our scale and complexity, and even fewer in Europe. As a Senior Software Development Engineer (Senior SDE), you’ll be part of a small group of diverse peers that make the Amazon magic happen. With ownership of existing software and building new products, you will lead the design and implementation of largescale efforts from the technical perspective.

You’ll not only code, but also drive the direction of the software architecture, and team practices. Our Senior SDEs enjoy a great deal of autonomy and are looked up to as technical leaders. In addition to owning the architecture of a larger product, you will lead code reviews, mentor engineers, and drive important technical decisions.

The Mechatronics team builds full-stack innovations that ensure safety, speed, optimization, sustainability, and value across our fulfillment and delivery network. We tackle ambitious goals for Amazon’s business and work hard to make automation history through invention, problem-solving, and highly engaged teams. We are a global organization, with research and development labs based in Hamme, Belgium; Boston, MA (US); and Milan, Italy. Our development portfolio focuses on automation solutions in packaging, labeling, sortation, and material conveyance—offering broad extensibility across Amazon’s businesses. At our lab in Hamme, Belgium, we develop and build game-changing mechatronic solutions that improve the efficiency and sustainability customers have come to expect from Amazon’s retail business.
