Software Development Engineer, Frontier AI and Robotics

Join the Frontier AI & Robotics Infrastructure team where youll build the foundation for next-generation AI in robotic systems that are revolutionizing Amazons fulfillment network. Were creating the infrastructure that
powers intelligent robots capable of understanding their environment and manipulating objects with unprecedented flexibility.

As a key member of our team youll:
Design and implement robust CI/CD pipelines for AI infrastructure
Build scalable data processing systems that power machine learning models for robotic perception and manipulation
Create and maintain development environments that enable rapid innovation for research scientists and engineers
Collaborate with world-class AI and robotics researchers to bring advanced AI capabilities to production systems
Work on infrastructure that will scale to support hundreds of robotic stations across Amazons network

Were looking for engineers passionate about robotics distributed systems and building reliable infrastructure. Youll be part of a team that values innovation collaboration and technical excellence while working on technology that
directly impacts Amazons ability to deliver packages to customers worldwide.

Key job responsibilities
Develop and optimize data processing infrastructure for our data platform to support machine learning model training telemetry collection and performance analysis
Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure software
Build and enhance development environments that enable researchers and engineers to rapidly prototype test and deploy new robotics capabilities
Implement scalable compute infrastructure solutions to support large-scale training jobs and inference workloads across hundreds of robotic stations
Collaborate cross-functionally with research scientists and engineers teams to integrate advanced AI models into production robotics systems and resolve complex technical challenges

A day in the life
On our team youll build the infrastructure backbone that powers AI robotics research. Unlike typical infrastructure roles youll work directly with world-class researchers iteratively translating their needs into scalable solutions. Youll tackle unique challenges at the intersection of distributed computing machine learning and roboticsfrom optimizing data pipelines for foundation model training to creating development environments that accelerate innovation. We keep processes lightweight and agile focusing on removing obstacles rather than creating them. Your work directly enables scientific breakthroughs that transform how robots perceive and interact with the physical world.

About the team
Our team is building the future of intelligent robotics through frontier foundation models and end-to-end learned systems. We tackle some of the most challenging problems in AI and robotics from developing sophisticated perception systems to creating adaptive manipulation strategies that work in complex real-world scenarios.

We have an ambitious research vision and practical impact. We leverage Amazons massive computational infrastructure and rich real-world datasets to train and deploy state-of-the-art foundation models. Our work spans the full spectrum of robotics intelligence from multimodal perception using images videos and sensor data to sophisticated manipulation strategies that can handle diverse real-world scenarios. Were building systems that scale to meet the demands of Amazons global operations.

Join us if youre excited about pushing the boundaries of whats possible in robotics working with world-class researchers and seeing your innovations deployed at unprecedented scale.
