About the Role

Twitch's Enterprise Platform & Technology (EPT) organization is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE 3) to architect, build, and operate software systems that power enterprise functions across Twitch and Amazon. This is a hands-on engineering role — you'll write production code, own team-level architecture, and lead multi-engineer projects from design through deployment and operations.

The problems you'll solve don't come with a predefined technology strategy. The business direction is understood — the how is up to you. You'll design and deliver solutions using AWS-native services and AI/agentic patterns, working across domains like Finance, Customer Service, Sales, and Marketing. You'll iterate fast, ship incrementally, and raise the engineering bar for your team through exemplary code, pragmatic design, and mentorship. We need someone who builds, not just advises. You own the architecture and the code.

You can work in San Francisco, CA; Irvine, CA; or Seattle, WA.

You Will:

  • Lead projects requiring work from multiple engineers — owning end-to-end design, integration of parallel work, and delivery across the full software lifecycle (design, implementation, testing, deployment, operations)
  • Own team-level architecture for enterprise systems, providing system-wide design guidance and ensuring solutions are cohesive, extensible, and secure
  • Build and operate production applications on AWS-native services (Lambda, Step Functions, DynamoDB, Bedrock, S3, CDK, API Gateway, etc.)
  • Design and deliver AI-powered and agentic workflows that ship to production — automating business processes, reducing toil, and accelerating delivery
  • Define agentic architecture patterns and establish best practices for building, testing, and operating AI systems in production — setting the engineering standard for how the team builds with AI
  • Design and build data pipelines, data lake integrations, and data models that enable clean, reliable data flows across enterprise systems
  • Drive adoption of engineering best practices on your team; set a culture of robust software development through exemplary code, design reviews, and operational rigor
  • Actively mentor and coach other engineers, helping them grow their technical skills and independence
  • Proactively simplify systems, resolve architecture deficiencies, and reduce operational burden — identifying one-way-door decisions and advocating for the right long-term solutions
  • Communicate technical designs and decisions effectively in writing; develop an understanding of problems that lets you explain them to others in simple, concise terms

You Have:

  • 5+ years of software development experience shipping production systems
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience building AI/ML-powered systems deployed to production
  • Experimentation with agentic architectures is necessary. And production launch is a 
  • Proficiency in multiple programming languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Java)
  • Experience designing and building applications using AWS-native services — not just deploying vendor software on cloud infrastructure
  • Demonstrated ability to lead projects involving multiple engineers, owning architecture decisions and integration of parallel work
  • Experience designing and building data pipelines, data models, or data lake systems
  • Track record of shipping incrementally — prototyping, validating, iterating, and delivering frequently
  • Strong written communication skills; ability to produce technical design documents that create alignment with peers and technical leadership
  • Demonstrated ability to solve complex problems with multiple risks and roadblocks, delivering solutions that are as simple as possible

Bonus Points

  • Experience across AI/ML engineering and data engineering practices (5+ years combined)
  • Familiarity with enterprise platforms (e.g., Salesforce, ServiceNow) as a consumer or integrator
  • Experience with security standards and compliance frameworks (SOC2, SOX, GDPR)
  • Experience working in enterprise domains such as Finance, Customer Service, Sales, or Marketing
  • Mobile development experience (iOS, Android, or cross-platform)
  • Experience working in a large-scale, multi-org environment
  • Familiarity with integration patterns, middleware, and master data management concepts

Perks

  • Medical, Dental, Vision & Disability Insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Maternity & Parental Leave
  • Flexible PTO
  • Amazon Employee Discount

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
