Gen Ai Developer Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer to join our Gen AI & Strategic Initiatives team that spans our Amazon Luna business. You will be a critical early member as we drive towards two key areas of AI integration 1) to create new types of Gen AI native games and gameplay experiences and 2) to enhance productivity of our internal team through the adoption of best practices and tools as well as the creation of agents.
As a Gen AI Technical Leader, you'll architect next-generation tools that will drive the adoption of transformative AI solutions for both external game developers as well as our internal engineering teams. You will be a hands-on builder who designs, develops, and operates the platform infrastructure to support both proprietary and third party models

Your expertise in distributed systems and API design will enable you to build resilient, performant solutions that abstract the complexity of multiple AI providers behind unified interfaces. In addition to creative primitives, you will also lead the work to implement agents for workstreams across Engineering, Martech, business intelligence and more.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a developer-focused, customer-obsessed mindset, strong ownership mentality, and deep expertise in building production systems at scale.

This is an exciting opportunity to excel in a dynamic, scrappy environment where you'll shape the future of gaming with AI.
