The Amazon Air Network Control Center (AANCC) Network Solutions & Analytics (NSA) team is seeking a Software Development Engineer to join our dynamic group of technical problem solvers. Our team builds mission-critical applications that enable data-driven decision making for one of Amazon's fastest-growing operations. We're looking for someone who can help us move beyond just consuming data to creating and managing our own datasets, while maintaining our ability to rapidly prototype and deliver solutions.

The ideal candidate will thrive in a fast-paced environment where ownership and speed are critical success factors. You'll work closely with Program Managers and Business Analysts to quickly translate operational needs into technical solutions. This role requires someone who can balance technical excellence with practical delivery, making smart trade-offs to ensure we're building the right solutions at the right time.

Key job responsibilities

Be part of an elite technical team within Amazon Air's Network Control Center (AANCC) that architects, develops, and maintains mission-critical applications supporting Amazon's rapidly growing and dynamic air cargo network. Our team manages the full development lifecycle while leveraging modern AWS services and development practices.

Eligibility requirement

Individuals hired into this position will have unescorted access privileges to airport security identification display areas (SIDA). For this reason, eligibility for this role will be limited to individuals who pass a security screening, as required by the FAA, DHS, and TSA (as applicable).
Must be able to secure appropriate airport authority and / or US Customs security badges, if applicable.
Amazon does not sponsor for immigration, including for H-1B, TN, and other non-immigrant visas, for this role.

Drug Test Requirement

This position is therefore designated as a safety sensitive position and is subject to mandatory pre-employment and, where permitted, post-hire drug testing.

A day in the life

Your day will be a blend of collaborative problem-solving and innovative software development. You'll engage with cross-functional teams, translating operational needs into robust technical solutions. Expect to prototype rapidly, design scalable systems, and see your work directly impact Amazon's logistics capabilities.
