From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Amazon Robotics is building a brand-new robotics manipulation platform, and we need a versatile software engineer to help bring it to life. In this role, you will own critical software components spanning robotics middleware, health monitoring, and fleet management — systems that must work reliably for a single robot and scale to fleets of thousands.
You will work across a broad technology stack, from real-time C++ on the robot to full-stack web applications on AWS, while applying generative AI to automate and streamline operational workflows.
This is a greenfield opportunity where your architectural decisions will shape how Amazon's next generation of robotic systems operate. You will lead multi-engineer projects, influence technical direction across peer teams, and mentor junior engineers — all while writing exemplary code that sets the standard for your team. If you are a curious, adaptable engineer who thrives on solving hard problems across multiple technology domains, we would love to hear from you.
Key job responsibilities
Design, build, and own software components for robotics middleware, health monitoring, and fleet management that scale from individual robots to fleets of thousands.
Lead the technical design and architecture of systems on a new robotics manipulation platform, balancing real-time performance constraints with long-term extensibility and maintainability.
Collaborate with peer robotics, hardware, and operations teams to define interfaces, resolve cross-team dependencies, and ensure successful end-to-end delivery of integrated robotic systems.
Apply generative AI tools and techniques to automate workflows, improve developer productivity, and accelerate the team's ability to iterate on new capabilities.
Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and hands-on guidance, raising the overall quality and engineering practices of the team.
Our team is developing a new robotics manipulation platform at Amazon Robotics that aims to be as transformative as mobile robots have been for fulfillment operations. We are a 40+ person organization with a dedicated software group of 10+ engineers working alongside mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers. We value collaboration, technical rigor, and a willingness to experiment.
As the platform grows, you will have the opportunity to scale systems that directly improve the customer experience and shape the future of robotic automation at Amazon.
Experience working on software libraries and tools for building robot applications and/or communication middle-ware.
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
