Software Development Engineer Six Month Internship – 2025 (in-person)

Introduction

At Amazon, we hire the best minds in technology to innovate and build on behalf of our customers.

The intense focus we have on our customers is why we are one of the world’s most beloved brands

– customer obsession is part of our company DNA. Our interns write real software and collaborate

with a select group of experienced software development engineers (SDEs) who guide interns on

projects that matter to our customers. As an intern, you will be matched to a manager and a

mentor. You will have the opportunity to influence the evolution of Amazon technology and lead

mission critical projects early in your career. Your design, code, and raw smarts will contribute to

solving some of the most complex technical challenges in the areas of distributed systems, data

mining, automation, optimization, scalability, and security – just to name a few. In addition to

working on an impactful project, you will have the opportunity to engage with Amazonians for both

personal and professional development, expand your network, and participate in activities with

other interns throughout your internship. No matter the location of your internship, we give you

the tools to own your project and learn in a real-world setting. Many of our technologies overlap,

and you would be hard pressed to find a team that is not using Amazon Web Services (AWS),

touching the catalogue, or iterating services to better personalize for customers. If this opportunity

interests you, apply and come chart your own path at Amazon. We want you to be the best version

of yourself – to continuously evolve and improve
