Internship Amazon Coding Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Join the Programming Foundations Team within Amazon Builder Experience as a Software Development Engineer. Our team owns the languages, libraries, and tools that Amazon builders use daily to write their software. We work on Java, Python, Rust, TypeScript, and C++ language support, along with libraries like Coral (Amazon's service framework) and LPT (LivePipelineTemplates, an infrastructure-as-code tool). We also build and maintain developer tools including VSCode and IntelliJ plugins, CRUX (Code Review User Experience, Amazon's code review system), and DevSpaces (cloud-based development environments).
In this role, you will build tools that help thousands of engineers across Amazon write, test, and review their code.
Key job responsibilities
As AI agents take on more software development work, they need the same organizational context that human engineers rely on-project decisions captured in Slack threads, meeting notes in Outlook, design discussions on Zoom, and team structures across corporate directories. You will build the connective tissue between these productivity tools and AI-powered development environments like AgentSpaces and ClawSpaces, giving coding agents direct access to the rich context that's currently trapped in siloed systems. The result: engineers can delegate more complex tasks to agents and spend less time manually assembling the context those agents need to do their jobs well.
A day in the life
Your work will directly affect how builders at Amazon do their jobs. As you help builders move faster, you're helping Amazon deliver and innovate. This is practical work that requires understanding what builders actually need and building tools that solve their problems without getting in the way.
About the team
The Programming Foundations Team is part of Amazon Builder Experience. We work on the basic tools and infrastructure that builders use to write software. Our team includes engineers who care about developer experience and want to make building software at Amazon easier. We do not own customer-facing products directly, but our work affects every team that builds software at Amazon. We focus on doing useful work rather than flashy projects. If you like building tools that help other engineers and want to work on problems that span the whole company, this team might be a good fit.
