We're hiring an SDE to join a focused tiger team that will operate in hackathon-style sprints to rapidly prototype, validate, and ship new capabilities across our AI agent platform. You'll work across the full stack, designing and building LLM-powered agents, integrating with internal and third-party PLM systems, and shipping production features that directly impact how Amazon develops private brand products globally.

About the team The Product Planning and Governance Tech team sits within Amazon Private Brands Tech and owns the technology that powers how Amazon plans, qualifies, and governs its private brand product portfolio, including brands like Amazon Essentials and Amazon Basics. Our mission is to automate the end-to-end product development pipeline: from identifying what to build, through supplier qualification and business case approval, to ensuring every product meets safety, sustainability, and compliance requirements before it reaches customers. We're a team of builders who care about shipping real impact. Our culture is hands-on, collaborative, and biased toward action. We operate across two engineering pods, one focused on assortment planning and supplier workflows, and the other on product governance (claims, certifications, requirements, regulatory intelligence), with heavy investment in AI/ML agents and LLM-based automation. Our tech stack spans Java, Python, Rust, TypeScript/CDK, React, and AWS services including Bedrock, DynamoDB, Step Functions, and Lambda.
