Internship Amazon Studios Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Do you want to revolutionize how film and television content is created? Are you passionate about building cloud infrastructure that powers the future of media production?
Do you thrive on solving complex technical challenges that directly impact award-winning productions?
At Amazon, we're transforming the entertainment industry by moving post-production workflows to the cloud. The Studio in the Cloud (SITC) Production Platform Engineering team builds and maintains the infrastructure that enables productions to perform Editorial, Dailies, Color, Conform, VFX, Sound, QC, Mastering, and Delivery entirely in
AWS.
We're looking for a Software Development Engineer who can bridge the gap between traditional media workflows and modern cloud infrastructure. You'll work with AWS services to solve problems that have never been solved at this scale-enabling creative teams worldwide to collaborate seamlessly on productions worth hundreds of
millions of dollars.
Key job responsibilities
• Build new cloud-native capabilities for VFX rendering and management, sound mixing, QC, mastering, delivery, and remote production workflows
• Improve and scale existing Editorial, Dailies, Color, and Conform workflows supporting active productions
• Translate complex post-production workflows into infrastructure-as-code using CloudFormation or CDK
• Troubleshoot production-impacting issues across the full stack-from network configurations to application-level bugs-diving as deep as needed to unblock creative teams
• Design and implement solutions using AWS compute, storage, and networking services optimized for high-throughput media workloads
• Build secure infrastructure following AWS best practices for encryption (at-rest and in-transit), IAM policies, VPC design, and authentication mechanisms
• Collaborate with Product Management and internal Production Technology teams to translate requirements into technical solutions
• Automate operational tasks and build self-service tools that empower production teams
