Great engineering has always been about people: the curiosity to ask better questions, the judgment to solve the right problems, & the drive to build what did not exist yesterday. In case you missed it, Amazon's engineering leadership shared a thoughtful look at how that holds true as AI reshapes the craft. The tools keep evolving. What defines a great engineer does not. To every builder watching AI change software & wondering what it means for their career: the opportunity has never been bigger. Read the full memo on Amazon News: https://go.aws/4e3tQzC
There's still a widespread misconception out there that AI marks the end of the software developer. We think it's the opposite, it's the dawn of the Renaissance Developer. Every major leap in software has come with the same prediction: this one finally makes engineers obsolete. Each time, the work evolved, and demand for great engineers grew. AI is no different. What stays constant is what has always defined the craft: creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving. What changes is the scope of what a single developer can build. That's why engineering leadership, including Distinguished and Senior Principal Engineers, from across Amazon recently came together to reaffirm what it means to be an SDE at Amazon. The update is grounded in how our most effective engineers actually work. A few of the ideas at the center of it: • The role is defined by outputs, not tools. AI coding tools sit on the same footing as every other tool an engineer uses. You're measured by the problem you solved and the value you delivered, not by how you got there. • The code is yours, however you produced it. Whether you wrote it by hand or generated it with a tool, you're accountable for its quality, that bar hasn't moved. • Impact isn't bounded by org lines. The best engineers work with their teammates and coworkers to do whatever the deliverable needs, even when it's not on "their" service. • Measure what matters, not what's easy to count. Token usage and tool-adoption leaderboards are tempting because they're easy. They're also disconnected from what actually matters: are we delivering more valuable features, faster, with higher quality, that customers love? • If AI doesn't help your work, that's a finding, not a failing. Not every task benefits equally from today's tooling. An engineer who can clearly explain where AI does and doesn't help is demonstrating exactly the judgment we're looking for. The engineers having the most impact are the ones leaning into Learn and Be Curious, blending AI with human judgment and deep domain expertise to build things that weren't possible before. And we're more excited about the future of software, and the people who build it, than ever. 📄 Read the memo on Amazon News: https://go.aws/4e3tQzC

「英語が必要そう」「成果主義についていけるかな」——応募を考えたとき、こうした不安で一歩を踏み出せないこと、ありますよね🌱 今回は、応募前によく挙がる不安に、中途入社のTanakaさんと新卒入社のKawakamiさんが答えます。 「面接も全部英語なのでは？」 英語に自信がなく、過去にオファーをもらっても受けられなかった——そんな背景を持つメンバーもいます。でも実際は、面接は日本語でOKなポジションも多数。社内のAI翻訳ツールもかなり進化していて、日本語で作った文章を変換すれば、きれいな英文でそのまま送��る。日々のやりとりで不便を感じることは、ほとんどないそうです🌍 「成果主義についていけるか」 常に数字と結果を求められる世界なのでは——入社前はそんなイメージを持っていたといいます。でも実際は、結果や数字だけでなく、その過程（どんなことを考え、どう行動したか）もしっかり見てもらえる。「入社前と後で一番ギャップを感じたポイント」だと振り返ります📊 ────── #MyAmazonStory では、Amazonで働く魅力やリアルな声を、キャリア採用担当が発信しています📢 少しでも気になった方は、ぜひ採用サイトから詳細をチェックしてみてください！ https://amzn.to/4kaWt1u #AmazonJapan #採用情報 #転職 #キャリア採用

If you're an early career builder, this one's for you. ⬇️
There's more than one way to grow your career in tech. Sometimes it's learning something new, sometimes it's building, sometimes it's hearing how someone else figured it out. For three days, we're opening the door to all of it 💜 On October 27 to 29, we're bringing together AWS leaders, builders, and university recruiters for a series of virtual sessions made for students and anyone early in their tech career. Hear how AWS leaders built their careers, get hands-on building, and find out what recruiters really look for. 🙌 What's happening: → AWS Women in Tech Executive Fireside Chat Series, conversations with women leaders at AWS about the careers and decisions that shaped them, with speakers across time zones so students around the world can join → AWS Level Up, a hands-on workshop with the Kiro Crew where you learn by building → Learning From AWS University Technical Recruiters, what applicants should know and what recruiters actually look for Join one, or make a week of it, online and open to all. We can't wait to see you there! Register with the link in the comments 👇

What if your next degree started with your job, not before it? How do you let an Amazon Echo sense room temperature without adding a single part? Karthik's career at Amazon answered both. Karthik Kumar first came to Amazon as a thermal engineer. Then, with support from his manager, completed his master's in AI. Now as a Principal Applied Scientist, Karthik developed how Alexa devices sense temperature, impacting customer experiences with products across the globe.

In case you missed the latest in AI hardware news ⬇️
The biggest barrier to adopting new AI hardware is the months spent rewriting and revalidating code that already works. Announcing TorchNeuron, which lets PyTorch code run natively on AWS Trainium chips with a single configuration change. No rewrite, and the tools developers already use to test, debug, and scale their models all work on Trainium without modification. Startups and enterprises in robotics, video, world models, self-driving cars, speech, drug discovery, LLMs, and finance are already building on it. TorchNeuron will be open sourced at the PyTorch Conference on October 20: https://amzn.to/4icd1Ut

Garrett made an inspiring leap from non-profit community care to Amazon Operations, discovering something unexpected: the profound reward of developing people while delivering results. His approach? Managing "YOU" (Yourself, Others, and Uncertainty). "Know yourself and what matters to you as that is the foundational piece to be able to grow yourself, grow others, and to lead in the midst of uncertainty," Garrett said. "Amazon provides not only the opportunity to make a difference but also the resources to equip one to be able to make that difference."
