Sr. Software Development Engineer, Amazon Quick

About the role

Amazon Quick Sight delivers AI-powered business intelligence that transforms scattered enterprise data into strategic insights, enabling faster decisions and better business outcomes. Quick Sight provides unified intelligence across all enterprise data sources and bridges the critical last-mile gap between insights and action. With built-in agents for research and automation, users explore data conversationally, take actions directly from dashboards, and leverage 40+ application integrations, all while maintaining enterprise-grade security and governance. Within Quick Sight, the Structured Data Analytics team owns the foundational data layer that powers every analytical experience. We operate across three interconnected capability areas: data preparation (discover, cleanse, transform, and model data), data management (lifecycle oversight, versioning, permissions, and fine-grained access control), and analytical query (translating BI logic into optimized SQL across multiple database dialects). The breadth of this surface area creates significant technical complexity and demands senior engineers who can own the architecture end-to-end. We are looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer to serve as a technical leader on this team. You will define the long-term architecture of our data layer, drive cross-team technical strategy, raise the engineering bar across the organization, and deliver high-impact systems where correctness directly determines customer trust. This role requires deep technical judgment, the ability to influence without authority across organizational boundaries, and a track record of delivering large-scale distributed systems.
