We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers' businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges.

Join the Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) team, where you'll tackle the challenges of sending billions of emails daily for businesses worldwide. You'll build systems that handle massive scale, develop innovative solutions to combat email abuse, and create AI/ML capabilities that solve real customer problems around deliverability and engagement.
As part of our engineering team, you'll work across specialized groups focused on high-performance sending infrastructure, control mechanisms, insightful analytics, and intuitive user interfaces. Whether you're passionate about distributed systems that scale to billions of events daily, security solutions that protect sender reputation, or customer-focused tools that simplify complex email management, SES offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on a service that businesses worldwide depend on.
SES Signal builds the reputation and classification systems that determine email deliverability for every message SES sends. We own the signals - bounce classification, complaint feedback loops, sender reputation scoring, and the data pipelines that feed enforcement decisions. We partner with ISPs and mailbox providers to interpret their feedback correctly and turn noisy, inconsistent responses into reliable deliverability intelligence.
