Software Dev Engineer Intern - AI/ML (Summer 2026), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
Amazon
Description
Amazon is a powerful place for AI innovation. Over the years, we’ve driven technological breakthroughs in a wide range of customer-facing services and internal operations, from speech recognition with Alexa to AI-powered robots that optimize order fulfillment.
At Amazon Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), you’ll be at the heart of AI innovation, whether you’re working with Amazon Nova—our new generation of state-of-the-art foundation models—or in our San Francisco lab, where we’re developing foundational capabilities for enabling useful AI agents that can take actions in the digital and physical worlds.
Our Software Development Engineer (SDE) interns use modern technology to solve complex problems while seeing their work's impact first-hand. The challenges SDE interns solve at Amazon are meaningful and influence millions of customers, sellers, and products globally. We seek individuals passionate about creating new products, features, and services while managing ambiguity in an environment where development cycles are measured in weeks, not years.
Amazon internships across all seasons are full-time positions, and interns should expect to work in office, Monday-Friday, up to 40 hours per week typically between 8am-5pm. Specific team norms around working hours will be communicated by your manager. Interns should not have conflicts such as classes or other employment during the Amazon work-day. Applicants should have a minimum of one quarter/semester/trimester remaining in their studies after their internship concludes.
Key job responsibilities
• Collaborate and communicate effectively with experienced cross-disciplinary Amazonians to design, build, and operate innovative products and services that delight our customers, while participating in technical discussions to drive solutions forward.
• Design and develop scalable solutions using cloud-native architectures and microservices in a large distributed computing environment.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical documentation.
• Build and maintain resilient distributed systems that are scalable, fault-tolerant, and cost-effective.
• Leverage and contribute to the development of GenAI and AI-powered tools to enhance development productivity while staying current with emerging technologies.
• Write clean, maintainable code following best practices and design patterns.
• Work in an agile environment practicing CI/CD principles while participating in operational responsibilities including on-call duties.
• Demonstrate operational excellence through monitoring, troubleshooting, and resolving production issues.
