Software Development Engineer, Amazon Connect Contact Lens

Job description

AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are.

We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.

Want to disrupt an industry by delighting customers? Looking for a job where your work can have direct and massive impact? Excited to join one of the newest and most exciting services? Come join a team that is building a product that will touch millions of people daily.

Amazon Connect is a highly disruptive contact center in the cloud that enables businesses to deliver engaging, dynamic, and personal customer service experiences. Amazon Connect is the result of ten years of development that went into building the tools Amazon uses to provide its award winning customer service at massive scale and launching it as a publicly available service. With Amazon Connect you can create your own cloud-based contact center and be taking calls in minutes.

Amazon Connect leverages the power of Artificial Intelligence and the large ecosystem of services such as Amazon Lex, Amazon Polly, Lambda, Amazon S3, and Amazon Kinesis to provide a truly frustration free, easy-to-use, extensible, and natural customer experience. With this technology we are transforming an industry and the way customers interact with businesses and how agents service them.

We have a rapidly growing customer base and an exciting charter in front of us that includes solving highly complex engineering and algorithmic problems. We are looking for passionate and talented Software Development Engineers to join us to innovate on this new service that addresses customer needs to build modern contact centers in the cloud. The position represents a rare opportunity to be a part of a fast-growing business soon after launch and help shape the technology and product as we grow.

You will be playing a crucial role in developing the next generation contact center and get the opportunity to design and deliver scaleable, resilient systems while maintaining a constant customer focus.

Industry analysts have said "Amazon Connect is quietly positioned to massively disrupt by enabling companies to focus on customer service not service centers." and "Amazon is totally disrupting the customer contact center space as they have many other market-spaces with customer-centric solutions with open platform integration with assistance from the partner community." As a developer on our team you'll own code end-to-end from design to development and work closely with senior technical leaders within the team and across AWS.

You'll have a sound understanding of computer science fundamentals and practical industry experience working across the stack with technology involving modern web, SOA, NoSQL databases, AI, ML, Big Data, and more.
